Of Mess and Men
The authors evaluate the congressional mess as a voting determinant in Congress, 1821-22, 1831-32, and 1841-42, applying agreement and regression analysis to selected roll calls. In 1821-22 and 1841-42, state delegation and state party delegation agreement equalled or surpassed mess agreement. Region explained the most variance in mess agreement in 1821-22, the 1831-32 results were inconclusive, and party was the strongest determinant in 1841-42,…
Profits” and the Frontier Land Speculator
From the days of the confederation through the nineteenth century, the frontier land speculator was a familiar figure in the United States.

Farming in the Prairie Peninsula, 1830-1890
Flaring westward from the upper valley of the Wabash lies the prairie triangle, embracing most of central and northern Illinois and almost all of Iowa. Much of this region today lies in the heart of the corn belt. Its economic history is a story of practical experimentation, adaptation, and change as its restless settlers endeavored after 1820 to unlock its wealth. To do so, the prairie pioneers had to adapt techniques and crops to the novel envi…

Systematic Revisionism and a Generation of Ferment in American History
The earnest veterans who swept into American graduate schools after the conclusion of the second world war were self-confident, mature in judgment, and eager to begin professional careers. Having paid for the mistakes of the previous generation in blood, sweat and deprivation, they were unlikely to accept the teachings of their elders without close scrutiny. The progressive history which was laid before them had enjoyed a long and successful run,…
Changes in Mechanical and Plant Technology
During the period 1910–1940 some changes were occurring in the production practices of the Corn Belt. Three of the most important were the substitution of the tractor for horse power, the introduction of hybrid seed corn, and the development of viable mechanical picker-huskers for harvesting corn. This paper examines the background of those innovations, evaluates current assumptions about them, presents data concerning the relative per acre savin…

During the past 20 or more years change and ferment has invigorated the study of the past.

The contributors to this special issue reflect on these and related developments. Their reflect…
From Prairie to Corn Belt
Historians and Radical Republicans
In December of 1861, Timothy Howe, junior Republican senator from Wisconsin, analyzed situation in Washington for his niece in Badger State. Everything about us portends coming of a rupture in ranks of war party and if so, a fierce struggle between two factions. The organization of a party designing either to rule administration or to supplant it has I think already commenced. Emancipation-the utter extinction of slavery will be watchword and eff…

The Administrative and Policy Problems of the J. B. Watkins Land Mortgage Company, 1873–1894
During the last quarter of the nineteenth century the financial milieu of the United States was enlivened by the appearance of farm mortgage companies whose agents scoured the northeastern states, proclaiming the discovery of an investors' mother Iode, the western farm mortgage.
