The correspondence, 1814-1829, consists mostly of letters from Nehemiah Sweet's brother Thomas, sent to him while he was at Fort Edward purchasing lumber, which he then sent down to Thomas for sale in Poughkeepsie. The letters pertain to orders for lumber, scarcity of money, demand for lumber, prospects, availability of boards, planks, shingles, clapboards, posts, masts, etc., problems of transferring money, quality of lumber available, prices, and rafting lumber down the river. There are also occasional comments on politics and public affairs. There are also a large number of miscellaneous papers, mainly concerned with the lumber trade, but some with personal expenses, including school fees for his daughter, Helen. They include bills, receipts, vouchers, accounts, invitations, checks, lottery tickets, and a deed for land in Dover (N.Y.) There are also two school mathematics books, kept by Nehemiah Sweet in 1795 and 1801, and one kept by Thomas Sweet; Thomas Sweet's expense book for 1817; and 22 receipt and account books of Nehemiah Sweet. Most of these deal with the lumber business, but there are two receipt books, 1843-1855, dealing with his activities as administrator of Thomas Sweet's estate. One account book, 1833-1834, records his accounts with Dutchess County for payments made by him to various individuals and for money due him for his work with the poor. There is an account book kept by John Wightman, 1787-1792, reused in 1851 by Helen Sweet for French vocabulary, and containing some sketches done in the 1880s, probably by Helen Sweet's husband, Benson J. Lossing. A book containing an inventory of property in Congress House, made in 1840 by Stephen J. Haviland, was reused as a scrapbook. The collection also contains Helen Sweet's copy of a 12-page pamphlet giving reviews of Edward A Brackett's statue, the Shipwrecked Mother and Child, and a diary, probably kept by one of her children, dating from 1872-3, 1878-9, or 1883-4", "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-01-21T22:39:33Z", "dateModified": "2012-01-21T22:39:33Z" } }, { "key": "UB3ECZT4", "version": 1, "library": {

than a century, of the earliest large free black community in the United States. Gary Nash shows how, from colonial times through the Revolution and into the turbulent 1830s, blacks in the City of Brotherly Love struggled to shape a family life, gain occupational competence, organize churches, establish neighborhoods and social networks, advance cultural institutions, educate their children in schools, forge a political consciousness, and train black leaders who would help abolish slavery. These early generations of urban blacks--many of them newly emancipated--constructed a rich and varied community life.Nash's account includes elements of both poignant triumph and profound tragedy. Keeping in focus both the internal life of the black community and race relations in Philadelphia generally, he portrays first the remarkable vibrancy of black institution-building, ordinary life, and relatively amicable race relations, and then rising racial antagonism. The promise of a racially harmonious society that took form in the postrevolutionary era, involving the integration into the white republic of African people brutalized under slavery, was ultimately unfulfilled. Such hopes collapsed amid racial conflict and intensifying racial discrimination by the 1820s. This failure of the great and much-watched \"Philadelphia experiment\" prefigured the course of race relations in America in our own century, an enduringly tragic part of this country's past.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "1988", "publisher": "Harvard University Press", "place": "", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "372", "ISBN": "9780674309333", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Forging freedom", "language": "en", "libraryCatalog": "Google Books", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "African Americans", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "African Americans - Pennsylvania - Philadelphia - History", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "African Americans/ Pennsylvania/ Philadelphia/ History", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Afro-Americans", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Electronic books", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "History / General", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "History / United States / General", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "History / United States / State & Local / General", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "History / United States / State & Local / Middle Atlantic", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "History / United States / State & Local / Middle Atlantic (DC, DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA)", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Philadelphia (Pa.)", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Philadelphia (Pa.) - History", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Philadelphia (Pa.) - Race relations", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Social Science / Ethnic Studies / African American Studies", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [ "5BQTNBF2" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-01-04T08:18:26Z", "dateModified": "2012-01-04T08:18:26Z" } }, { "key": "9GTJVM28", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 64061, "name": "Northern Slavery", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/northern_slavery", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/64061/items/9GTJVM28", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/northern_slavery/items/9GTJVM28", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/64061/items/T8F9GCH5", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 446311, "username": "Matthew Dennis", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/matthew_dennis", "type": "text/html" } } } }, "data": { "key": "9GTJVM28", "version": 1, "parentItem": "T8F9GCH5", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "linked_url", "title": "Google Books Link", "accessDate": "2012-01-04T08:17:17Z", "url": "http://books.google.com/books?id=qz1hab8YjQYC", "note": "", "contentType": "text/html", "charset": "", "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-01-04T08:17:17Z", "dateModified": "2012-01-04T08:17:17Z" } }, { "key": "T8F9GCH5", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 64061, "name": "Northern Slavery", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/northern_slavery", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/64061/items/T8F9GCH5", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/northern_slavery/items/T8F9GCH5", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 446311, "username": "Matthew Dennis", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/matthew_dennis", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Nash", "parsedDate": "2006-04", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "T8F9GCH5", "version": 1, "itemType": "book", "title": "First city: Philadelphia and the forging of historical memory", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Gary B.", "lastName": "Nash" } ], "abstractNote": "With its rich foundation stories, Philadelphia may be the most important city in America's collective memory. By the middle of the eighteenth century William Penn's \"greene countrie town\" was, after London, the largest city in the British Empire.

The city served off and on as the official capital of the young country until 1800, and was also the site of the first American university, hospital, medical college, bank, paper mill, zoo, sugar refinery, public school, and government mint. In First City, acclaimed historian Gary B. Nash examines the complex process of memory making in this most historic of American cities. Though history is necessarily written from the evidence we have of the past, as Nash shows, rarely is that evidence preserved without intent, nor is it equally representative. Full of surprising anecdotes, First City reveals how Philadelphians—from members of elite cultural institutions, such as historical societies and museums, to relatively anonymous groups, such as women, racial and religious minorities, and laboring people—have participated in the very partisan activity of transmitting historical memory from one generation to the next.", "series": "",

freedom in the rural north. This unique social history addresses many long held assumptions about the experience of slavery and emancipation outside the south. For example, by tracing the process by which whites maintained \"a durable architecture of oppression\" and a rigid racial hierarchy, it challenges the notions that slavery was milder and that racial boundaries were more permeable in the north. Monmouth County, New Jersey, because of its rich African American heritage and equally well-preserved historical record, provides an outstanding opportunity to study the rural life of an entire community over the course of two centuries. Hodges weaves an intricate pattern of life and death, work and worship, from the earliest settlement to the end of the Civil War.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "1997", "publisher": "Rowman & Littlefield", "place": "", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "262", "ISBN": "9780945612513", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Slavery and freedom in the rural North", "language": "en", "libraryCatalog": "Google Books", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "African Americans", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Afro-Americans", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Free African Americans", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Free African Americans - New Jersey - Monmouth County - History", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Free African Americans/ New Jersey/ Monmouth County/ History", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Free Afro-Americans", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "History / General", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "History / United States / General", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "History / United States / State & Local / General", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "History / United States / State & Local / Middle Atlantic", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "History / United States / State & Local / Middle Atlantic (DC, DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA)", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Monmouth County (N.J.)", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Monmouth County (N.J.) - History", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Rural African Americans", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Rural African Americans - New Jersey - Monmouth County - History", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Rural African Americans/ New Jersey/ Monmouth County/ History", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Slavery", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Slavery - New Jersey - Monmouth County - History", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Slavery/ New Jersey/ Monmouth County/ History", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Social Science / Ethnic Studies / African American Studies", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Social Science / Ethnic Studies / General", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [ "Z2ZR93E9" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-01-04T08:07:49Z", "dateModified": "2012-01-04T08:07:49Z" } }, { "key": "UE9SSV8U", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 64061, "name": "Northern Slavery", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/northern_slavery", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/64061/items/UE9SSV8U", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/northern_slavery/items/UE9SSV8U", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/64061/items/ITMUM7KQ", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 446311, "username": "Matthew Dennis", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/matthew_dennis", "type": "text/html" } } } }, "data": { "key": "UE9SSV8U", "version": 1, "parentItem": "ITMUM7KQ", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "linked_url", "title": "Google Books Link", "accessDate": "2012-01-04T08:07:20Z", "url": "http://books.google.com/books?id=x7EMFh3310IC", "note": "", "contentType": "text/html", "charset": "", "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-01-04T08:07:20Z", "dateModified": "2012-01-04T08:07:20Z" } }, { "key": "ITMUM7KQ", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 64061, "name": "Northern Slavery", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/northern_slavery", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/64061/items/ITMUM7KQ", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/northern_slavery/items/ITMUM7KQ", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 446311, "username": "Matthew Dennis", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/matthew_dennis", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Hodges", "parsedDate": "1999-10-04", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "ITMUM7KQ", "version": 1, "itemType": "book", "title": "Root & branch: African Americans in New York & east Jersey, 1613-1863", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Graham Russell", "lastName": "Hodges" } ], "abstractNote": "In this remarkable book, Graham Hodges presents a comprehensive history of African Americans in New York City and its rural environs from the arrival of the first African--a sailor marooned on Manhattan Island in 1613--to the bloody Draft Riots of 1863. Throughout, he explores the intertwined themes of freedom and servitude, city and countryside, and work, religion, and resistance that shaped black life in the region through two and a half centuries. Hodges chronicles the lives of the first free black settlers in the Dutch-ruled city, the gradual slide into enslavement after the British takeover, the fierce era of slavery, and the painfully slow process of emancipation. He pays particular attention to the black religious experience in all its complexity and to the vibrant slave culture that was shaped on the streets and in the taverns. Together, Hodges shows, these two potent forces helped fuel the long and arduous pilgrimage to liberty.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "1999-10-04", "publisher": "Univ of North Carolina Press", "place": "", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "434", "ISBN": "9780807847787", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Root & branch", "language": "en", "libraryCatalog": "Google Books", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "African Americans", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "African Americans/ History/ To 1863", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "African Americans/ New Jersey/ History", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "African Americans/ New York Region/ History", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Afro-Americans", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "History / United States / Colonial Period (1600-1775)", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "History / United States / General", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "History / United States / State & Local / General", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "New Jersey", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "New York Region", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Social Science / Ethnic Studies / African American Studies", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Social Science / Ethnic Studies / General", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [ "6PFTARUT" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-01-04T08:07:20Z", "dateModified": "2012-01-04T08:07:20Z" } }, { "key": "NFTDSDMM", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 64061, "name": "Northern Slavery", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/northern_slavery", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/64061/items/NFTDSDMM", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/northern_slavery/items/NFTDSDMM", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/64061/items/25D5IZJJ", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 446311, "username": "Matthew Dennis", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/matthew_dennis", "type": "text/html" } } } }, "data": { "key": "NFTDSDMM", "version": 1, "parentItem": "25D5IZJJ", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "linked_url", "title": "Google Books Link", "accessDate": "2012-01-04T08:07:17Z", "url": "http://books.google.com/books?id=x7EMFh3310IC", "note": "", "contentType": "text/html", "charset": "", "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-01-04T08:07:17Z", "dateModified": "2012-01-04T08:07:17Z" } }, { "key": "WCAZXD9T", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 64061, "name": "Northern Slavery", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/northern_slavery", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/64061/items/WCAZXD9T", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/northern_slavery/items/WCAZXD9T", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/64061/items/RRT7SA5Q", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 446311, "username": "Matthew Dennis", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/matthew_dennis", "type": "text/html" } } } }, "data": { "key": "WCAZXD9T", "version": 1, "parentItem": "RRT7SA5Q", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "linked_url", "title": "Google Books Link", "accessDate": "2012-01-04T08:06:57Z", "url": "http://books.google.com/books?id=MvKmxAO81lYC", "note": "", "contentType": "text/html", "charset": "", "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-01-04T08:06:57Z", "dateModified": "2012-01-04T08:06:57Z" } }, { "key": "RRT7SA5Q", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 64061, "name": "Northern Slavery", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/northern_slavery", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/64061/items/RRT7SA5Q", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/northern_slavery/items/RRT7SA5Q", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 446311, "username": "Matthew Dennis", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/matthew_dennis", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Hodges", "parsedDate": "2010-03-15", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "RRT7SA5Q", "version": 1, "itemType": "book", "title": "David Ruggles: a radical black abolitionist and the Underground Railroad in New York City", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Graham Russell", "lastName": "Hodges" } ], "abstractNote": "David Ruggles (1810-1849) was of one of the most heroic--and has been one of the most often overlooked--figures of the early abolitionist movement in America. Graham Russell Gao Hodges provides the first biography of this African American activist, writer, publisher, and hydrotherapist who secured liberty for more than six hundred former bond people, the most famous of whom was Frederick Douglass. A forceful, courageous voice for black freedom, Ruggles mentored Douglass, Sojourner Truth, and William Cooper Nell in the skills of antislavery activism. As a founder of the New York Committee of Vigilance, he advocated a \"practical abolitionism\" that included civil disobedience and self-defense in order to preserve the rights of self-emancipated enslaved people and to protect free blacks from kidnappers who would sell them into slavery in the South. Hodges's narrative places Ruggles in the fractious politics and society of New York, where he moved among the highest ranks of state leaders and spoke up for common black New Yorkers. His work on the Committee of Vigilance inspired many upstate New York and New England whites, who allied with him to form a network that became the Underground Railroad. Hodges's portrait of David Ruggles establishes the abolitionist as an essential link between disparate groups--male and female, black and white, clerical and secular, elite and rank-and-file--recasting the history of antebellum abolitionism as a more integrated and cohesive movement than is often portrayed.
