The Last Voyage of the Whaling Bark Progress
On June 8, 1892, almost three thousand spectators gathered on New Bedford's waterfront to watch the whaling bark Progress depart for exhibition at the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893. Proud that their city had been the globe's whaling capital, the crowd could have little imagined the bark's sad fate after it traversed the Great Lakes to its open-air display at Chicago's World's Fair. Progress ended, ironically, as a failed exhibit and a wrec…
History Comes Alive
In 1976 the national television airing of Roots was memorable in U.S. popular culture and public history. Though the author Alex Haley had long been researching his family ties to Africa, his heartbreaking miniseries showed not only how black Americans could find and re-create an identity in a distant time but also how almost all audiences could become so emotionally moved as to consider a different present and future for race-torn America. Focus…

"Let Us Idealize Old Types of Manhood"
A Cuckoo in Our Nest
The last thirty years in Britain, Raphael Samuel writes, have witnessed an extraordinary and, it seems, ever-growing enthusiasm for the recovery of the national past-both the real past of recorded history, and the timeless one of tradition. Surveying the gamut from retrofitting old warehouses to saving steam locomotives, Samuel, an English historian widely acclaimed for his trenchant analysis, notes that this preservation mania has reached the po…
