		Otis claimed that he never objected to "lawful or legitimate organizations formed and maintained by laborers in any branch of industry," only to "gross and mischievous abuse in the management of the organizations by the leaders of them." In fact, he'd even been a member of the typesetters union -- briefly.

	Architects of Our Fortunes: The Journal of Eliza A. W. Otis
		Harrison's contribution includes four letters written to Eliza in 1859 soon after they were married and an action-packed diary recording his Civil War experiences in 1862 and 1863.
		Harrison's letters also conform to the conventions of the day, but his wartime diary is a barely legible, often slanted scrawl, suggesting he was using his knee or perhaps the bare ground as support.
		A few letters written during the first year of his marriage plus Eliza's accounts of their time together indicate that Harrison Otis was a devoted husband and an unusually zealous supporter of the effort to preserve the American Union and defeat what they both regarded as Southern treason.

	AmericanHeritage.com / BEHIND THE FEDERAL FACADE
		Possibly the only concept that Otis had inherited from earlier Bostonians was the notion of a Puritan elect, but for Otis, God’s appointed would rule not in heaven but in the statehouse, the courthouse, and the countinghouse.
		Otis, Bulfinch, and the merchants and shipowners who dominated the Federalist party in Boston embraced the political philosophy of Alexander Hamilton and the neoclassical style of Robert Adam.
		But the Otis house has a greater complexity: it is a story taller than the typical Georgian house, and its three levels are clearly distinguished by white stone stringcourses and by varying window heights.

	The contrast to Scott's
		General Otis’ father was a staunch abolitionist; the family farm was a stop on the Underground Railroad.
		Any opposition to Otis and his allies was seen by him as endorsement of a form of slavery; his fl and white view of the conflict meant that the public was forced to choose sides, sides that were set up by General Otis and the MandM.
		Otis’ own rhetoric of political and economic freedom was used against him by labor leaders, who argued that it was precisely the tradition of revolution for freedom that he espoused that was being followed by the unions.

	Charles Lummis and the Early Days of the Los Angeles Times
		In this colossal brouhaha, Otis was the sole diehard defender of the chief of police.
		He had spent his first three months on the Times staunchly defending an incompetent tyrant as chief of police at the behest of his boss, whose own judgment and motives in the matter were suspect.
		Indeed, Otis was widely regarded as a tyrannical bully in his own right, a man who didn’t hesitate to use underhanded tactics and the pages of his newspaper to unfairly attack and undermine his opponents.
