Although grounded in history, it welcomes works from all disciplines - for example, literature, law, political science, anthropology, archaeology, material culture, cultural studies - bearing on the early American period."," Approximately 125 manuscripts are submitted to the WMQ each year. About one in eight manuscripts is accepted after in-house evaluation and thorough peer review. Accepted articles receive close substantive editing. Extensive backlogs of articles are avoided; ideally, articles are published within about a year of acceptance. The Quarterly aims to be accessible to all: the work of graduate students, junior faculty, and unaffiliated scholars is welcome. Three prizes are available to Quarterly authors, and many of the journal's articles attract considerable reprint interest."," Circulation presently stands at about 3,700, distributed almost equally between individuals and institutions. One in ten subscribers is foreign.

","George Stratton (1823-1910) married Mariette Robinson (abt. 1824-1865) in January 1845. They had six children, all born in Oxford, New York: William Avery (1845-1939), Edward L. (b. December 1847), Harvey J. (b. January 1850), Luke A. (1853-1862), Tracy Frink (b. June 1858), and Alice Robinson (b. February 1864). Some time between 1866 and 1870, George married his first wife's cousin, Maria A. Robinson. George and his four sons who survived to adulthood were all involved in dairy farming and lumber work at one time or another. Stratton seems to have worked in both business, probably in an office capacity, after mid-1881.","Although some details of Stratton's life are unknown, a great deal can be found in the letters. He spent much of his life in parts of Chenango County, New York. He never married. He went to the Oxford Academy, which continued to serve (in an expanded form), as the central school district for Oxford. Around 1866, he attended business college in Poughkeepsie, New York. ","In 1870 and early 1871, Stratton seems to have been looking for work. After a brief trip to visit family and friends in Mississippi and Georgia in the spring of 1871, he settled in Washington, DC, having taken a clerk position with the Office of Internal Revenue, Treasury Department. In 1877, he left the Treasury Department and traveled in California and Oregon. Letters from his trip, as well as after, suggest he may be been looking to find work there. He was back in Oxford the next year, however. By the spring of 1879, Stratton was working for Lord and Taylor in New York City. In 1881, he moved to Othello, Mississippi. Some time after May 1881, he returned again to Chenango County. It is unclear if he remained with the family business(es) or found other work. He died in 1939. His sister, Alice, was his only sibling still alive at that time.

Letters date from as early as the American Civil War (1864) to the year after Stratton's death (1940). For the most part, letters are about social and family news, though some of the early letters contain Civil War and post-bellum news from the South.

The collection also contains a large number of wedding and graduation invitations for events in Oxford, New York, where Stratton spent much of his life.","A significant portion of the family correspondence shares news from places around the country. There is also an emphasis on family business (the selling of butter from the farm, land, and stock dividends, for example) and local politics. Stratton's extended family lived throughout central and eastern New York, as well as in other parts of the country, and appear often throughout the correspondence both as writers and topics. In addition to  Stratton s, other connected families include the  Chase s, the  Robinson s, the  Ten Brock s ( Ten Broeck s) and the  Juliand s. A list of major correspondents by decade is provided under \"Series I: Correspondence\" below.","Note:  There is very little correspondence for the period of June 1882 through November 1890, and none for the period of 1920 to 1934. ","In addition to letters, the collection also contains a series of wedding and graduation invitations. During the second half of his life, while living predominantly in Oxford, New York, Stratton appears to have been a popular invitee. Many of the graduation invitations are for his old school, the Oxford Academy.

December 1847), Harvey J. (b. January 1850), Luke A. (1853-1862), Tracy Frink (b. June 1858), and Alice Robinson (b. February 1864). Some time between 1866 and 1870, George married his first wife's cousin, Maria A. Robinson. George and his four sons who survived to adulthood were all involved in dairy farming and lumber work at one time or another.

These letters contain discussion of troubles with Indians, the growth of the railroad, and cattle driving in Oregon, Colorado, Nevada, and Texas. These were not the only colorful characters with whom he corresponded. After an unknown attack of some kind while living in Mississippi, a friend advised him that \"if I had been in your place I would have shot a hole in him big enough to see what he had for last meal.\" His friend then recommends he buy a pistol and \"shoot the H--l out of the first man that attempts to molest [him].\" Later letters from his sister and brother-in-law, Alice and Ira MacFarland, relate stories of gold mining and ranching in Nevada.","This series is arranged chronologically.","Series II: Invitations, 1874-1935, includes invitations to events in and around Oxford, New York, and other locations. It contains two subseries: Subseries I: Weddings and Anniversaries, 1874-1935, and Subseries II: Graduations and Reunions, 1890-1900. Subseries I includes weddings and anniversary party invitations and announcements. Many of these have place cards attached. Subseries II contains invitations to graduation and reunion events at the Oxford Academy, some of which have attached calling cards.","This series is arranged chronologically within each subseries.

His terms as VMI's Business Executive and Historiographer encompassed thirty years, but before, during and subsequent to that period, he served in many other official and unofficial capacities. He was a noted authority on local and regional history, and on the life and times of Stonewall Jackson. In addition to his official duties at VMI, he was responsible for the initial organization and preservation of the Institute's rich historical holdings, including it's unique collection of alumni biographical and genealogical materials.","Researchers should note that, because William Couper served in\nseveral different positions at VMI, many of his professional papers are located in various record groups in the VMI Archives. These include records of the Business Office, Alumni Association, and various administrative subject files (e.g., Southern Conference).","The Virginia Historical Society (Richmond, Virginia) holds additional William Couper and Couper family papers.","The William Couper papers document a portion of the life and career of Couper, a man notable for his research and publications about the history of VMI, Lexington, Rockbridge County, Shenandoah Valley, Virginia history and genealogy, Stonewall Jackson, and Claudius Crozet.","A significant portion of the papers consist of publication\nmanuscripts, notes, and other material related to Couper's major historical research projects (many of which were published). These include the following:\n \"One Hundred Years at VMI,\" a four volume comprehensive history of the Institute from it's founding in 1839 through 1939 \"The VMI New Market Cadets,\" which contains biographical information about the VMI cadets and staff who fought in the Civil War battle on May 15, 1864 \"Claudius Crozet,\" a biography of the notable 19th century Virginia Civil Engineer \"A History of the Shenandoah Valley,\" Virginia \"Stonewall Jackson Day by Day,\" which contains chronological account including events, anecdotes, clippings, transcribed correspondence, notes, and maps \nCouper's passion for the history of Lexington and Rockbridge County is evident in the substantial amount of local history research material found in his papers. Included are notes on a wide range of local history topics, as well as extensive research material (notes and maps) concerning the history of many local properties and the Lexington cemetery.","The papers also include material concerning the\nconstruction of Fort Jackson (South Carolina), Couper's\nspeeches and addresses, maps, scrapbooks, photograph albums, and correspondence.","In 1974, at the request of the Fort Jackson Museum, South Carolina, selected papers relating to the construction of Fort Jackson were placed on indefinite loan to the Museum.","Manuscript collections in the VMI Archives are made available for educational and research use.

Born in 1920, Mertz started his career as a highway engineer with the Bureau of Public Roads in the Department of Commerce. As a field engineer, Mertz worked on many interesting and important transportation projects. He took part in the 1955 Road Test in Ottawa, Illinois, where the basic designs for Interstate pavements were developed. Mertz was assigned in 1956 to the Bureau of Standards to develop standards for computer software for use in highway engineering applications. During the 1960s he worked with such groups as the National Capital Transit Agency in Washington, D.C. and the Tri-State Transportation Commission in New York.
