Etat : New. In.

Paperback. Etat : New. In 1907, Indiana passed the world's first involuntary sterilization law based on the theory of eugenics. In time, more than 30 states and a dozen foreign countries followed suit. Although the Indiana statute was later declared unconstitutional, other laws restricting immigration and regulating marriage on "eugenic" grounds were still in effect in the U.S. as late as the 1970s. A Century of Eugenics in America assesses the history of eugenics in the United States and its status in the age of the Human Genome Project. The essays explore the early support of compulsory sterilization by doctors and legislators; the implementation of eugenic schemes in Indiana, Georgia, California, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Alabama; the legal and social challenges to sterilization; and the prospects for a eugenics movement basing its claims on modern genetic science.

Rapid growth of various lines which combined into intercontinental giants such as the Union Pacific are considered, as well the economic influence of the many small branch lines. The ownership monopolies of men such as Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jay Gould and others who inordinately benefited from the heavily-subsidied land grant system, whereby huge swathes of public lands were set aside for their private profit, is put into context with concurrent congressional chicanery and lack of judicial oversight. The Crédit Mobilier railroad investment scandal (revealed during the 1872 presidential election,) and failure of the investment bankers J. Cooke and Sons, are put into context with the resultant political and economic fallout such as the Wall Street crash of 1873.* Beyond being an informative history of this time, though, the particular economics affecting farmers (and coal producers) are explored. Being at the mercy of middlemen, haulage and rail companies whose stock was manipulated to exact maximum profits from the farmers, is considered in detail through in-depth interviews. The goals, and identities of the semi-secret "Patrons of Husbandry," founded in 1867, are discussed, as well as the speedily-organized Grange movement which followed in their wake. The author interviews key figures of the co-operative Illinois Farmers Association about the Grange's cooperative farmer's union which suceeded in exerting bulk purchasing power with suppliers. As the Author notes in his Preface, the fast pace of the political organization of the farmers and coal miners who were similarly at the economic mercy of the railroads to sell their product, was a topic of concern for many "back East" who were not subject to these same economic pressures, and feared the shifting of political power away from the eastern bastions of power as the centennial of the nation loomed.**Virginia AUTHOR James Dabney McCabe, Jr. (1842-1883) journalist from the age of 14, wrote a number of popular illustrated history titles during the last quarter of the nineteenth century for this publisher. The pen-name, "Martin" was presumably adopted to distance himself from some of his earlier opinions he had renounced when arriving in the North. (As late as the mid '60's McCabe embraced support of the Confederacy, producing a novel, and a pro-Confederate drama called "The Guerrillas," performed in Richmond in 1864.)* The copyright of this title belongs to publisher Joshua R. Jones, owner of the National Publishing Company of Philadelphia. The company employed direct sales agents who worked on commission, rather than selling through wholesale.

With pencil inscription to front free endpaper and ownership stamp to title page of Dewitt C. Trelin. A sound copy, spine much sunned, cloth rubbed, frayed and head and tail, occasional fingersoil, but largely sturdy: around Very Good. A New York visitor's guide to crime, vice, and scandal at all levels of society, including five chapters documenting several forms of prostitution. McCabe argues that avoiding sites of vice was the only path to safety: "No matter how clever a man may be in his own town or city, he is a child in the hands of the sharpers and villains of this community" (15-16). The book's sensational illustrations could give readers a safer thrill.
