The genealogical narrative, Van Buskirks of Indiana - Western Migration from New Netherlands, 11 Generations -1654-2017 delves behind the genealogical charts and tables to provide unusual insight into the lives and struggles of one of the founding families of colonial America. The chapters depict each generation in its settlement, over three centuries, across the North American continent. The book concerns the progressive migration of the author's family branch from its origin in Holstein, Denmark and its emigration through 17th century Amsterdam to New Netherlands in 1654. They describe the Van Buskirk colonization in the Dutch Hudson Valley and it subsequent progressive migration west through colonial Pennsylvania, post revolutionary war Northwest Territories, a multigenerational stint in Indiana before arriving in the Oregon Country of the Pacific Northwest.
Van Buskirk discusses the first two generations in some detail, including origin of the surname and details about the original patriarch, Laurens Andriessen Van Buskirk and his four sons. The later chapters concentrate on his own direct ancestral line but also include additional discussions about more distant cousins of unusual interest. These range from the tragic intra-familial conflicts of diverse political loyalty and an Indiana Regiment of giants to pioneer toils on the Oregon Trail and body snatching for medical dissection. The author strives to present a readable and interesting tale built upon verifiable genealogical and historical documents.

Empty graves. Coffins splintered. Bodies . . . missing. In the late nineteenth century, Fort Wayne, Indiana is rocked by an ongoing series of shocking crimes: local cemeteries are being stalked, their fresh bodies stolen. Who would do such a thing? All eyes are on the local medical college and Dr. A.E. Van Buskirk, its young demonstrator of anatomy, who must supply the medical school with subjects for dissection.
With an attention to both medical history and local lore, Edmund Michael Van Buskirk traces the incredible true story of a scandal that was passed down through his family for generations. He delves deep into the infamous practice of medical body snatching and how it became a grim necessity for anatomy study in early American medical schools. With the patience of a doctor dissecting an interesting subject, Van Buskirk untangles and pulls apart complicated narratives, then weaves them into a compelling story of family, scandal, and an appalling history that lurks on the "dark fringes of medicine."

Between 1920 and 1950 America saw an unprecedented expansion of wealth and power underwritten by technological innovation, cultural confidence, and victory in war. American elites won World War II, rebuilt the world order with America at its head, inaugurated the jet age and put a man on the moon. The boom led to a larger, richer middle that confirmed America's best ideals.
By the early 1970s that ended. Since then, American elites have captured a disproportionate share of the social and economic rewards over the last 50 years during which time the middle class has shrunk in size and become economically insecure, owning a smaller share of national wealth than at any time in our history despite most households having two income earners versus the single income household that characterized the period of shared prosperity. At the same time, technological innovation that improves people's standard of living has dramatically slowed. This undermines the basic premise behind the broad acceptance of a meritocratic elite, whose rule is predicated on the belief that if the best rise to the top, their talent and energy will create a rising tide that lifts all the boats. We had that once. We can have it again. This book is the story of how American elites won, lost, and can win again.

Описание: As District Attorney, Thomas E. Dewey cracked Tammany Hall, thought to be the United States' most powerful and corrupt political machine. Yet as Governor, despite his state's vast resources, he could not crack the Upper New York State machine. In this modern-day David vs. Goliath tale, a 24-year-old college professor and engineer leads the challenge to liberate and transform his own upstate community from a 40-year reign of political corruption. In the first half of the 20th century, Michael Big Mike Tecumseh Smith founded a political machine which, after aligning with Albany's Democratic powerhouse Dan O'Connell, became impossible to crack. After several generations of inept management, Dr. Paul Van Buskirk rejected his own prominent Republican family's views and publicly called for change. The move, led by Van Buskirk's ruthless, methodical organization, led to the Citizens Party defeating the Democrats in 1963. In this political memoir, Dr. Van Buskirk details the thrilling events leading up to the Citizens Party's nationally-recognized victory over the political machine. It also recounts how, once in office, the Citizens were inspired by President Johnson's progressive War on Poverty to channel their ingenuity and community spirit into revitalizing their decrepit mill town, steering it to become a federally-designated Model City while also earning Look Magazine's highly-competitive All-America City Award. With a sharp wit and a careful eye, Dr. Van Buskirk shares shrewd political observations and offers cautionary advice about the stark differences between running a political campaign and running a city. He also discusses the behind-the-scenes intrigue - including an attempt on his life - that eventually led to the Citizens Party's demise. Despite occurring half a century ago, the tales of corruption and political scheming, as well as the people's rise from apathy to action, will resonate in a current era of political upheaval.

Описание: The Revolutionary War encompassed at least two struggles: one for freedom from British rule, and another, quieter but no less significant fight for the liberty of African Americans, thousands of whom fought in the Continental Army. Because these veterans left few letters or diaries, their story has remained largely untold, and the significance of their service largely unappreciated. Standing in Their Own Light restores these African American patriots to their rightful place in the historical struggle for independence and the end of racial oppression. Revolutionary era African Americans began their lives in a world that hardly questioned slavery; they finished their days in a world that increasingly contested the existence of the institution. Judith L. Van Buskirk traces this shift to the wartime experiences of African Americans. Mining firsthand sources that include black veterans' pension files, Van Buskirk examines how the struggle for independence moved from the battlefield to the courthouse - and how personal conflicts contributed to the larger struggle against slavery and legal inequality. Black veterans claimed an American identity based on their willing sacrifice on behalf of American independence. And abolitionists, citing the contributions of black soldiers, adopted the tactics and rhetoric of revolution, personal autonomy, and freedom. Van Buskirk deftly places her findings in the changing context of the time. She notes the varied conditions of slavery before the war, the different degrees of racial integration across the Continental Army, and the war's divergent effects on both northern and southern states. Her efforts retrieve black patriots' experiences from historical obscurity and reveal their importance in the fight for equal rights - even though it would take another war to end slavery in the United States.
