Mary Jones: Last First Lady of the Republic of Texas
MARY JONES: LAST FIRST LADY OF THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS Birney Mark Fish, B.A., M.Div. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2011 APPROVED: Elizabeth Hayes Turner, Major Professor Richard B. McCaslin, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of History D. Harland Hagler, Committee Member Denis Paz, Committee Member Sandra L. Spencer, Committee Member and Director of the Women’s Studies Program James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Fish, Birney Mark. Mary Jones: Last First Lady of the Republic of Texas. Doctor of Philosophy (History), December 2011, 275 pp., 3 tables, 2 illustrations, bibliography, 327 titles. This dissertation uses archival and interpretive methods to examine the life and contributions of Mary Smith McCrory Jones in Texas. Specifically, this project investigates the ways in which Mary Jones emerged into the public sphere, utilized myth and memory, and managed her life as a widow. Each of these larger areas is examined in relation to historiographicaly accepted patterns and in the larger context of women in Texas, the South, and the nation during this period. Mary Jones, 1819-1907, experienced many of the key early periods in Anglo Texas history. The research traces her family’s immigration to Austin’s Colony and their early years under Mexican sovereignty. The Texas Revolution resulted in her move to Houston and her first brief marriage. Following the death of her husband she met and married Anson Jones, a physician who served in public posts throughout the period of the Texas Republic. Over time Anson was politically and personally rejected to the point that he committed suicide. -

Entrepreneurship, ESM style Tony Arnold Hitting high notes in new music Summer 2009 FOr ALUMNI, PARENTS, AND FrIeNDS OF THe eASTmAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC FROM THE DEAN The Teaching Artist I suppose that in the broadest sense, art may be one of our greatest teachers. Be it a Bach Goldberg Variation, the brilliant economy of Britten’s or- chestration in Turn of the Screw, the music in the mad ruminations of King Lear, or the visual music of Miro, it is the stirring nature of such intense, insightful observation that moves us. Interestingly, these artistic epiphanies bear a remarkable resemblance to what happens during great teaching. And I believe that some of the many achieve- ments of Eastman alumni, faculty and students can be traced to great Eastman “teaching moments.” Like great art, great teaching is not merely the efficient transmission of knowl- NOTES edge or information, but rather a process by which music Volume 27, Number 2 or information gets illuminated by an especially insight- Summer 2009 ful light, thus firing our curiosity and imagination.
