Introduction Gary B. Nash, Distinguished Research Professor 27 July 1933 - 29 July 2021 Gary Nash, a prolific historian of early America and a member of the history department since 1966, died on July 29th.

Gary earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees at Princeton, taking a break to serve in the Navy for three years.

Once he finished his doctorate, he taught briefly at Princeton before coming to UCLA. He moved rapidly through the faculty ranks, earning full professor in 1972, by which time he had published two books: Quakers and Politics: Pennsylvania, 1681-1726 (1968), based on his doctoral dissertation and Class and Society in Early America (1970). Although Gary retired from UCLA in 1994, he long remained involved in the university, with the National Center for History in the Schools among other concerns. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he continued to write and to support the work of colleagues, especially students and junior colleagues.

Among his most notable books, his Red, White, and Black: The Peoples of Early America (1974, with many subsequent editions) offered a survey of early American history that featured the three major groups in British North America; this innovative work reshaped the way historians approached the American past. He was proud to report that it was required reading for a time at some military academies such as West Point. His magnum opus, The Urban Crucible: Social Change, Political Consciousness and the Origins of the American Revolution (1979), argued for the importance of non-elites in bringing about the American Revolution. Part of the new social history and the new Left historiography that was remaking understandings of the American past, the book reflected Gary’s view that U.S. history was shaped by the struggles of ordinary people trying to better themselves. Urban Crucible, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, inspired a number of historians to study social history and American radicalism. Gary’s focus on the struggles of ordinary people also inspired the textbook he co-authored, The American People: Creating a Nation and a Society (1986, with many subsequent editions). He wrote numerous books in African American history as well, including Forging Freedom: The Formation of Philadelphia's Black Community, 1720-1840 (1988) and The Forgotten Fifth: African Americans in the Age of Revolution (2006). By the time of his death, he had authored dozens of books, many of them single-author monographs but others co-authored or co-edited works. Most recently, he published Warner Mifflin: An unflinching abolitionist (2017); and Writings of Warner Mifflin: Forgotten Quaker Abolitionist of the Revolutionary Era, co-authored with Michael R. McDowell, was released this summer. His last manuscript, Our Beloved Friend: The Life and Writings of Anne Emlen Mifflin, co-authored with Emily M. Teipe, has just been completed.

His highly productive research career was only part of how he spent his time; Gary was also an active university and professional citizen. At UCLA, he was Dean of Undergraduate and Intercollege Curricular Development, and Dean, Council on Educational Development. He founded the National Center for History in the Schools at UCLA, working with National Council for History Standards to create History Standards with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Department of Education (a project mandated by Congress). Once the Standards were published— with input from many educators and scholars—the by-then former head of the NEH launched an all-out campaign against them and against Gary as their lead author. He and his colleagues Charlotte Crabtree and Ross Dunn wrote an account of the controversy, History on Trial: Culture Wars and the Teaching of the Past (1997). This controversy has echoes in the current efforts to dictate educational content on the part of the former U.S. president and his supporters. Gary also served as President of the Organization of American Historians (1994-95). His service to the profession, the public (as with the National Park Service), and K-12 educators was legion.

Gary was also a passionate and engaging teacher; he was awarded the UCLA Distinguished Teaching Award in 1991. He fought to get social history included in the US survey at UCLA, which led for a time to two separate surveys, one social (the 6 series) and the other a more traditional political and intellectual history (7), before the two were combined into today’s History 13 (A-C). His lecture courses wove stories about the past, stories that featured individuals struggling to better their lives. His seminars were challenging and attracted many graduate students. For years, early American history students met at his home for a potluck dinner and to discuss each other’s dissertation chapters. A clear and elegant writer himself, he was also an extremely talented editor of the writing of others; not only his many students but also innumerable colleagues pay tribute to his talents in this direction.

Gary was above all passionate, about his causes, about writing history, and about fighting the good fight. He was an athlete, a backpacker, and a lover of the outdoors. His enormous energy allowed him to make an outsized contribution in many areas. He leaves behind his wife of forty years, Cindy Shelton, children, grandchildren, and many bereft friends.

—Carla Pestana, UCLA History Department Chair.

Gary began collecting stamps as a young boy growing up in Philadelphia. While we don’t have his early stamp collection, we know his boyhood hobby was something that stuck with him. After he had finished his graduate studies, started a family and began teaching and publishing, he returned to stamp collecting in earnest. He recently told one of his daughters that when his books started paying royalties, he decided to dedicate some of this as his “play money”. Thus began another 40 years of stamp collecting.

As a lifelong historian, collecting stamps was a natural complement to his professional life. Buying, selling, and studying the origins of stamps provided a calming reprieve from academia, and he shared with his family how much he enjoyed the nuanced artistry and historical context of each stamp.

In the last 10 years, Gary decided to try his hand at selling stamps through eBay (under the name of “Stamp Goat”), shipping stamps both locally and across the globe. When possible, he enjoyed delivering them in person, and recently handdelivered stamps to a buyer in Prague, while vacationing there. Gary invited his fellow philatelist over to the AirBNB where he and his family were staying to get acquainted over a glass of wine. This human connection was emblematic of Gary’s inquisitive, affable nature as well as his passion for telling and sharing stories.

2.

The highest bid acknowledged by the auctioneer shall prevail. Should a dispute arise between bidders (including a dispute between a floor bidder and the auctioneer acting on behalf of a mail bidder, consignor or vendor), the auctioneer alone shall determine who is the successful bidder and whether to reoffer the lot in dispute. Should a dispute arise after the sale, the auctioneer’s sale records shall be conclusive. On all lots sold, a commission of 18% on the hammer price is payable by the buyer.

3.

(a) The auctioneer reserves the right to bid on behalf of clients (and consignors or vendors) but shall not be liable for errors and omissions in executing instructions to bid, however received, and whether such errors or omissions be those of the bidder or agent or those of the auctioneer. (b) All lots are offered subject to a reserve price. The auctioneer may implement such reserve price. The auctioneer may implement such reserve price by bidding on behalf of the consignor vendor.

5. (a) Subject to the fulfillment of all of the conditions set forth herein, on the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, title to the offered lot will pass to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer, and such bidder the reupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility therefore, and (b) will pay the purchase price as set forth in Conditions of Sale 4. (b) In addition to other remedies available to us by law, we reserve the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 2% per month if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein. Unless otherwise agreed by Harmers, all property must be removed from our premises by the purchaser at his expense not later than 10 business days following its sale. (c) If any applicable conditions herein are not complied with by the purchaser, the purchaser will be in default and in addition to any and all other remedies available to us and the Consignor by law, including, without limitation, the right to hold the purchaser liable for the total purchase price, including all fees, charges and expenses more fully set forth herein, we, at our option, may (x) cancel the sale of that, or any other lot or lots sold to the defaulting purchaser at the same or any other auction, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser, or (y) resell the purchased property, whether at public auction or by private sale, or (z) effect any combination thereof. In any case, the purchaser will be liable for any deficiency, any and all costs, handling charges, late charges, expenses of both sales, our commissions on both sales at our regular rates, legal fees and expenses, collection fees and incidental damages. We may, in our sole discretion, apply any proceeds of sale then due or thereafter becoming due to the purchaser from us or any affiliated company, or any payment made by the purchaser to us or any affiliated company, whether or not intended to reduce the purchaser’s obligations with respect to the unpaid lot or lots, to the deficiency and any other amounts due to us or any affiliated companies. In addition, a defaulting purchaser will be deemed to have granted and assigned to us and our affiliated companies, a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money of or owing to such purchaser in our possession or in the possession of any of our affiliated companies, and we may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to us or to any affiliated company of ours. We shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code (UCC ). (d) Payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until we have collected good funds. Any claims relating to any purchase, including any claims under the Conditions of Sale, must be presented directly to Harmer. In the event the purchaser fails to pay any or all of the total purchase price for any lot and Harmer nonetheless elects to pay the Consignor any portion of the sale proceeds, the purchaser acknowledges that Harmers shall have all of the rights of the Consignor to pursue the purchaser for any amounts paid to the Consignor, whether at law, in equity, or under these Conditions of Sale.

(c) It may also be assumed that all consignors have been advanced monies against the sale of their stamps and Harmers therefore has a security interest over and above the normal auction commission. (d) Purchases made by a consignor or vendor or his agent on his own lots shall be considered as a sale subject to commissions and sales tax as applicable. (e) Agents are responsible for all purchases made on behalf of their clients, unless other arrangements have been confirmed in writing prior to the auction. (f ) HRHarmer further reserves the right to ban any bidder from participation in its’ sales for any reason deemed appropriate in its’ sole discretion. (g) HRHarmer retains the right to demand a cash deposit from anyone prior to bidder registration and/or to demand payment at the time the lot is Hammered down to the highest bidder, for any reason whatsoever. In the event that any buyer refuses or fails to make payment in cash for any lot at the time it is knocked down to him, the auctioneer reserves the right to reoffer the lot for sale to the highest bidder.

If an opinion of a generally recognized authority is desired, the period of time within which a lot must be received by Harmers will be extended in accordance with Condition of Sale 8.
