abstract:In the late 1960s, the hills and valleys of Pennsylvania’s anthracite region came alive via two imaginative responses to the devastation of strip-mined landscapes. Paramount Pictures’ The Molly Maguires and a multiyear Penn State landscape architecture study both attempted to make something new of gouged, abandoned land. This article argues that these reclamation attempts relied upon the attraction of melancholic landscapes. The filmmakers and landscape scholars assumed that places of ruin provoked emotional reactions in viewers and visitors, producing ambiguous moods of pastness. Part contemplation and part sensation, these moods were intended to make people feel their way into new, complex relationships with the land. This article analyzes these projects within scholarly conversations about the historical dimensions of landscape tourism, the narrative framing of Appalachia, and the cultural significance of moods.

abstract:The travels of a Moravian-made rifle reveal that Pennsylvania armed its troops in 1776 by disarming peaceable citizens. Modern judicial rulings often look to eighteenth century-precedents to insist that it is permissible only to “disarm the dangerous” and that America has “no tradition” of disarming “peaceable citizens.” But when Pennsylvania’s efforts at making new arms in 1775 and 1776 failed, it passed laws to authorize taking arms from anybody who was not using them, including a very substantial number of non-associators, often described as “well-affected,” whom nobody considered dangerous. Innumerable receipts kept on scraps of paper, dispersed in local, county, and state archives, enable us to trace not only the afterlife of a singular Moravian rifle but also the disarmament process itself in which military officers entered a home, lawfully but surely without a warm welcome, and took a musket or rifle that the homeowners considered their property.
