Disabled Revolutionary War Veterans and the Construction of Disability in the Early United States, c. 1776-1840

This thesis addresses the following broad research question: what did it mean to be a disabled Revolutionary War veteran in the early United States during the period from 1776 to roughly 1840? The study approaches the question from two angles: a state-centred one and an experiential one. In both cases, the theoretical framework employed comes from disability studies. Consequently, disability is regarded as a sociocultural phenomenon rather than a medical condition. The state-centred dimension of the study explores the meaning of disability and disabled veterans to the early American state through an examination of the major military pension laws of the period. An analysis of this legislation, particularly the invalid pension acts of 1793 and 1806, indicates that the early United States represents a key period in the development of the modern disability category. The experiential approach, in contrast, shifts the focus of attention away from the state towards the lived experiences of disabled veterans. It seeks to address the issue of whether or not the disabilities of disabled veterans had any significant material impact on their everyday lives. It does this through a comparison of the situation of 153 disabled veterans with that of an equivalent number of nondisabled veterans. The former group received invalid pensions while the latter did not. In comparing the material conditions of disabled and nondisabled veterans, a wide range of primary sources from military records to memoirs and letters are used. The most important sources in this regard are the pension application papers submitted by veterans in the early nineteenth century. These provide us with a unique insight into the everyday lives of veterans. Looking at the issue of experience through the window of the pension files reveals that there was not much difference in the broad contours of disabled and nondisabled veteran life. This finding has implications for the theorisation of disability that are highlighted and discussed in the thesis. The main themes covered in this study are: the wartime experiences of injured American soldiers, the military pension establishment of the early United States and the legal construction of disability, and the post-war working and family lives of disabled veterans. Keywords: disability, early America, veterans, military pensions, disabled people, Revolutionary War, United States, disability theory.

Reproductive Biology and Spawning Periodicity of Endeavour Shrimps Metapenaeus endeavouri (Schmitt, 1926) and Metapenaeus ensis (de Haan, 1850) from a Central Queensland (Australia) Fishery

Metapenaeus endeavouri and M. ensis from coastal trawl fishing grounds off central Queensland, Australia, have marked seasonal reproductive cycles. Female M. endeavouri grew to a larger size than female M. ensis and occurred over a wider range of sites and depths. Although M. ensis was geographically restricted in distribution to only the shallowest sites it was highly abundant. Mating activity in these open thelycum species, indicated by the presence or absence of a spermatophore, was relatively low and highly seasonal compared with closed thelyeum shrimps. Seasonal variation in spermatophore insemination can be used as an independent technique to study spawning periodicity in open thelycum shrimps. Data strongly suggest an inshore movement of M. endeavouri to mature and spawn. This differs from most concepts of Penaeus species life cycles, but is consistent with the estuarine significance in the life cycle of Metapenaeus species. Monthly population fecundity indices suggest summer spawning for both species, which contrasts with the winter spawning of other shrimps from the same multispecies fishery.

Comercio y Colonias (1770-1850). El papel de Guipúzcoa

Hablar del papel de las colonias y del comercio en los siglos XVIII y XIX del País Vasco es un ciclo sobre Dirección y Administracion de empresas parece un tanto fuera de lugar. Problamenente muchos alumnos y sectores del profesorado no suelen tener muy claro para qué sirve una materia como la historia y más en concreto la historia económica. Sin embargo la Historia en general y la económia en particular cumplen o mejor, deberían cumplir un papel importante y sobre todo deberían ser tenidas en cuenta a la hora de tomar decisiones tanto a nivel micoeconómico como macroeconómico.

O dilatar da nação: a dimensão do político na historiografia de Alexandre Herculano (1839-1850)

Este trabalho se propõe analisar a construção da obra de Alexandre Herculano como historiador, que teve início com a publicação de inúmeros artigos no jornal O Panorama e na Revista Universal Lisbonense. Nesses textos, procuramos perceber as reflexões iniciais que levaram a um projeto de maior fôlego intelectual, a História de Portugal, publicada em um momento de emergência das nacionalidades e da formação das consciências nacionais. Nesse sentido, procuramos perceber como Herculano concebeu a sua história analisando sua trajetória como historiador/político em meio às graduais transformações sociais que ocorriam em Portugal à sua época. Assim, propusemo-nos pensar o Alexandre Herculano político em constante diálogo com a conjuntura daquele período, tendo como referência a sua atuação social e a sua intervenção textual no processo então em curso.

Imigração, negócios e poder: o comerciante português como agente dinâmico das relações internacionais Brasil-Portugal (1850/ 1875)

Este trabalho contemplou a análise das relações entre imigração, negócios e poder a partir da inserção do imigrante português no comércio da cidade do Rio de Janeiro entre 1850 e 1875. Nesse período, as relações internacionais entre Brasil e Portugal caracterizaram-se essencialmente por duas forças sociais: o fluxo migratório e o comércio. Através do intercruzamento de fontes documentais, identificou-se o perfil dos membros da elite mercantil portuguesa instalada na capital do Império brasileiro, bem como suas estratégias de ascensão econômica e projeção política junto à sociedade e aos Estados de Portugal e Brasil. Avaliou-se, ainda, o estímulo causado pelas trajetórias de sucesso na realimentação do movimento de emigração portuguesa. Concluiu-se que os imigrantes lusos, através do comércio, tornaram-se agentes dinâmicos das relações bilaterais Brasil-Portugal.

Manoel Antônio Esteves : um capitalista esquecido no Vale (1850 1879)

O estudo da correspondência possibilita uma análise de detalhes que, de outra maneira, escapariam à compreensão da historiografia. A proposta deste trabalho é fazer uma análise do comportamento de um cafeicultor do Vale do Paraíba Fluminense, Manoel Antônio Esteves que, de 1845 a 1879, manteve correspondência com diversos elementos e soube preservar este material. Entre cartas recebidas e enviadas, através da microanálise, podemos compreender um pouco da realidade do oitocentos brasileiro, com destaque especial para as questões familiares, a criação e manutenção de redes de sociabilidade, a cultura política de um período que marcou a região em foco. Cartas são documentos ainda pouco explorados pela historiografia, mas guardam informações capazes de produzir novas interpretações de uma época. Elas podem, aqui, revelar muito ainda sobre o longo século XIX no Brasil.

Charles Henry Gilbert (1859-1928), Naturalist-in-Charge, and Chauncey Thomas, Jr. (1850-1919), Commanding: Conflict Aboard the U. S. Fish Commission Steamer Albatross in 1902

Charles Henry Gilbert (1859-1928) was a pioneering ichthyologist who made major contributions to the study of fishes of the American West. As chairman of the Department ofZoology at Leland Stanford Junior University in Palo Alto, Calif., during 1891-1925, Gilbert was extremely devoted to his work and showed little patience with those ofa different mindset. While serving as Naturalist-in-Charge of the U.S. Fish Commission Steamer Albatross during her exploratory expedition to the Hawaiian Islands in 1902, Gilbert engaged in an acrimonious feud with the ship's captain, Chauncey Thomas, Jr. (1850-1919), U.S.N., over what Gilbert perceived to be an inadequate effort by the captain. This essay focuses on the conflict between two strong figures, each operatingf rom different world views, and each vying for authority. Despite the difficulties these two men faced, the voyage of the Albatross in 1902 must be considered a success, as reflected by the extensive biological samples collected, the many new species of animals discovered, and the resulting publication of important scientific papers.
