Nan Grant's home was kind of the same thing, she fed and housed six working men. The only difference is that, Nan Grant also housed Gretty's mother before she died which is unusual. The article states that lodging is available by week or month. That's another difference because it seemed that the men living at Nan Grant's house were there for way longer than that.

To me, her house seems like a boarding house. She has men that live and eat there and she provides that for them. It's a newspaper advertisment for a home away from home in a way. For men on the road to work sort of. The advertisment offered different forms of payment and "reasonable terms". The terms part makes me think about the different rules the Nan Grant had. She had different ones for the men and ones for Gerty. Gerty wasn't allowed to do anything but the men were. That is mainly because they were paying. I compare a boarding house to a hotel. A hotel in the 1800's though, not like hotels now. Differences in the nature of hotels or boarding houses has changed since then.

Thompson Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1833 Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) Much of the travel to India during this time, while having to do with the East India trading company, was also due to the missionary work that was being done by countries like America and England with the intent of spreading the word of God, and by doing so, converting ‘heathen’ Hindi’s to God worshiping Christians. Much of The Lamplighter holds the notion that God is the leading light for many of the characters, and religion plays a large part in their life. In one specific section, Willie explains to Gerty what praying is and why it is used. Religion was a major part of the lives of people in the 1800s and any missionary work being done around the world would be well known by those very pious people in America, and thus places inhibited by them would be known as more sacred, and thus more civilized, making them more desirable to be visited. In this biography, Thomas T. Tomason talks about his time in India as a missionary, and how he was able to convert Indian natives to the Christian culture. He talks about the life he lived, and the issues he came across, and how the culture in India was transformed by the work of missionaries. He talked about how India was seen as a more cultures place because of the missionary work. One particular passage mentions how missionaries were members (and instructors) of schools in India, so they could ‘properly; educate the future generations.

Frederick William Thomas Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1891 Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) In the Lamplighter Mrs. Sullivan, Willie’s mother, takes a dream excursion to India. In her dreams she imagines she is journeying over “land and sea” to Calcutta “ a beautiful city, with churches , towers, thongs of gay people moving in every direction”. Mrs. Sullivan has the idea that India is civilized and a metropolis full of culture. The words “city” and “civilized”, used by Cummin’s, gives the reader the idea that Mrs. Sullivan dream trek of the British India Empire is civilized and Christianized. In this essay, the dominance of Britain over India is explained in terms of Britain’s influence over India’s culture. The essay tracks the culture of India’s religion and how the culture of education (specifically in one passage, the sciences) was brought to India. Essay’s like this were read by people in European countries and America- so woman like Mrs. Sullivan would have read these and imagines India as this hub of cultural diffusion and a place where great intellect was established, thanks to “civilized” Europeans taking over India for the British Empire. The essay describes many aspects that Britain introduced to India; page 137 states that “the principal still openly proclaimed and defended that it is the business of the English to create a highly educated class’; who will then transmit their culture to the lower strata of society”. Page 8 also states that English men “Such men who in that wonderful land were the visible representatives of culture, religion, and all the higher forces of men. Britain was seen as the high place of intellect, so for Britain to ‘invade’ India would imply that their education and intellect has spread through the culture of India, making India cultured and civilized Contributor The name of the person who obtained, uploaded, and described the item.

[After doing research on the database I found out that Hezekiah Niles had written the article in his magazine] Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1836-10-8 Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) The article that I have found talks about the fortifications of the New York Harbor and how it was built to survive an attack. The article expresses how the harbor was not armed enough if we were to ever have an attack on the harbor. They had troops watch the harbor, but if it were ever attacked, it would end badly for New York. The reason I choose this article was because if the harbor was ever attacked then this would have a direct impact on the soldier (Montraville) and could have changed the outcome of the book. I feel as though this is really important because the harbor was a main port for New York, and after reading the article, you find out it had very little protection.

The building has a fine appearance to it and also attracts guest to the Saratoga Springs. In the Lamplighter, it talks about the Piazza, so I thought it would be interesting to find a picture describing the building around that time period.

This relates back to The Lamplighter because during the story, we see Gertrude receive a letter from her father, who describes what happened during the California Gold Rush, where many people moved from their homes to California, in order to try and profit on the recent discovery of gold. We see in the lithograph the people moving across the Rocky Mountains, moving to California in order to capitalize on this. The lithograph shows us how these people crossed to their new homeland, bringing everything on covered wagons and hauling it across the United States.

Dean Labree Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1843-08-23 Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) This article is significant to The Lamplighter because they were both written around the same time. The article discusses Washington Street in Boston, which is where certain parts in the book take place. The article also describes how there was an old building that used to be one of the head quarters for a commander-in-chief of England’s colonial troops. The information from this document allows us to paint a picture of what Washington Street looked like in the mid to late 1800s. We get a better idea of where Gertrude was in the book at the same time and place of the document. Washington Street appears on page 136 in the Lamplighter when Gertrude is speaking with Mr. Bruce. Mr. Bruce tells Gertrude how he would have liked to walk down Washington Street with her and she replies, “I did not go down Washington-street.” From their conversation it appears as though Washington Street is one of the main streets in Boston at that time.

Lodgings for the Poor [a look at the current living conditions of the poor] Creator Enter the name of the author or other creator of the document or image exactly as (s)he is identified in the document. If no author is specified there, see fields guide. Boston Traveller Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1847-12-04 Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) The newspaper article provides an interesting insight into the living conditions and perceived morality of the poor. In The Lamplighter, Nan Grant’s house resembles the description of the house and living conditions that exist within this article. The article describes the exterior of the house to be “miserable” and “beastly." This is similar to the description of Nan Grant’s house, “Upon the wooden door-step of a low roofed, dark, and unwholesome-looking house, sat a little girl, who was gazing up the street with much earnestness" (Cummins 1). Nan Grant’s house is described as sad and unwelcoming. It is cold and the conditions for the people living in the house are very pitiable. The article’s description of the houses supports the presence of Nan Grant’s house. Nan Grant’s house and the houses in the novel are small, uncomfortable, and sad. Furthermore, the description of the houses in the article sheds further light on Nan Grant’s house. The reader is able to connect Nan Grant’s house to Boston because the article provides a colorful explanation of the poor houses there. In addition, the article goes on to describe the people living inside the houses as having no “self-respect”, “honesty”, and “integrity." The description of the poor living in the houses in Boston provides support for the actions of Nan Grant and Gerty. Nan Grant and Gerty are both immoral and hurtful in their conduct. The article goes on to state that poverty causes the poor to become “vicious." This statement supports the actions of Nan Grant, “Nan was a Scotchwoman, no longer young, and with a temper which, never good, became worse as she grew older” (Cummins 9). Nan Grant is portrayed as angry and hurtful. She is almost like an animal waiting to strike. The article supports Nan Grant’s actions as being legitimate to poor people in that time period. Furthermore, Nan Grant’s history of poverty has caused her to become the person she is in the novel, “She had seen life’s roughest side, had always been a hard-working woman, and had the reputation of being very smart and a driver” (Cummins 9). The article provides further insight into Nan Grant’s attitude because it states that the constant turmoil and labor of the poor causes them to become harsh and immoral. This article provides support for the actions of Nan Grant. She is a product of the struggle of poverty, like others in Boston. The description of Nan Grant’s house is similar to other houses that belong to the poor in Boston. This provides further insight into the ability of Nan Grant’s character to be legitimate. The article supports the phenomena that the outside is a good judge of what is inside. Contributor The name of the person who obtained, uploaded, and described the item.

Washington St. is also a place where “Money is advanced bolding and lavishly for the erection of commanding structures, many of which exceed in grandeur and commercial edifices in the cities of the old world,” meaning Washington St. is a place coming up in the professional world through investment of making old building fit into a new style. This works in conjunction with The Lamplighter when Mr. Bruce is discussing Gerty’s where-a-bouts in Boston. Mr. Bruce speaks about wishing to accompany Miss. Flint for a stroll down Washington St. She denies ever being on that street. Mr. Bruce rebuttal, “But you would have done so with a suitable escort.” Mr. Bruce is a spoiled, lazy, and smug gentleman who has family money, hence his visit to Europe. He thinks himself as a suitable partner for Gerty. Suitable enough to escort a lovely young woman down an up and coming, populous street.
