This is a blatant attempt to bring my blog to the attention of Lernu members. If this is not permitted, my apologies.
Did you know that the United States has had three national organizations? Many people know there was a predecessor to the current group, Esperanto-USA (which was previously called ELNA), but the earlier group, EANA, had a predecessor too.
I've been blogging on a variety of topics at my blog impofthediverse.blogspot.com, including the early movement in the United States. I invite you to step back in time with me as I look through the early history, of the days when claiming to be studying Esperanto was fashionable (the New York City group had to take measures to keep out those who wanted to join without learning the Esperanto).
For a variety of reasons, the blog is chiefly in English, though I hope to have more posts in Esperanto in the future.
I hope you enjoy it, and don't forget to say "saluton!"

This thread, especially after this one, is a bit pathetic as far as I am concerned.
jaidit:the blog is chiefly in EnglishChiefly? On its landing page I couldn't spot even one post which weren't in English.

Por Nornen, kiu scivolas ĉi mi verkas esperante: http://impofthediverse.blogspot.com/2014/11/du-esp...
Why do you consider it pathetic? At the time a blogger was ripping off my work by posting it on his blog against my express wishes. People reading it on his blog weren't finding their way to mine (I know, I get reports), so they weren't reading any of my new stuff.
I'll admit that one of the other comments in the thread made me think that maybe I should promote my effort here. When I made the first post, I just wanted the plagiarism to stop. (And, no, I do not take it as a compliment if people take their own work for their own purposes. It is not published under a Creative Commons license. You can read all you want for free, but it stops there.)
If you consider it "pathetic" that I want people to read my work on my blog, don't read my blog. But don't insult a writer for trying to protect his or her work.
Dankon, Alkanadi, por la ĉarmaj vortoj.

Size has nothing to do with it. For the most part, these weren't rival organizations, but successive ones.
The American Esperanto Association was the first group, from 1905 through 1909. That was followed by the (better known) Esperanto Association for North America, which was the U.S. group for about 50 years. George Allen Connor was fervently anti-Communist, and his goal getting all communists out of the Esperanto movement lead to EANA no longer being recognized by the UEA.
There was probably a period where EANA tried to maintain their legitimacy, though it seems most of the membership abandoned the organization (I would be curious to know why they didn't simply oust Connor, and I suspect that he wasn't alone in his goal of a purged movement), and re-formed (without Connor) as the Esperanto League for North America (now using the name Esperanto-USA).
