Hamilton (Chair of Committee) (Member) (Member) May 1996 Major Subject: Anthropology Ill ABSTRACT A Dialogue Between Material Remains, Historical Documents, and Oral History: Allenfarm and Rogers Plantation, a Case Study. (May 1996) Randal Scott Allison, B.A., Texas A&M University; M.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Sylvia Grider Often lost behind the mythic veneer of Texas history is the fact that the eastern one-third of the state was a true part of the antebellum South. As a result, research into slavery era Texas has been slow in developing. This is especially true in historical archaeological and material culture studies of slavery. With the exception of a few articles and historical archaeological studies, very little has been done in the way of material culture studies of Texas slavery. For Brazos County, there has only been one study, and much of its focus is on the postbellum period. The aim of this dissertation is to interpret and present a material culture study of antebellum life on Allenfarm, Rogers Plantation, and the Millican region of iv southwestern Brazos County with respect to those who settled the land, their lifeways, and their impact on the land. To accomplish this goal, the dissertation utilizes a variety of available materials and a cross-disciplinary approach to interpreting the materials. In doing so, a methodology for studying and inferring the meaning of the material culture in regions where there is scant physical evidence is developed. What emerges is a picture of a rich culture created by the interaction of slaves and their white owners and neighbors in a unique, frontier experience. V DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to my wife, Terri, and our daughters, Kristen and Tegan. Thanks for putting up with me during this time. vi ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The completion of this dissertation would not have been possible without the assistance and input of many people and assistance networks. A special note of thanks and acknowledgment goes to Dr. John Michael Vlach, Director of the African-American Studies Program at George Washington University, Washington DC, for his input and suggestions on pursuing this topic. Also, a special note of thanks to Dr. Alan Alter, Professor Emeritus, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, for allowing a hapless undergraduate the opportunity to find the field in which he truly belongs. I would like to thank Dr. Vaughn M. Bryant, Jr., Head, and the Department of Anthropology for allowing me to pursue my studies and research, and for allowing me to work as a Graduate Teaching Assistant during the 1994-1995 and 1995-1996 academic years. I also wish to express my gratitude to the following people for their past support and encouragement of my educational endeavors: Edd C. Hendee, Sgt. Riley Ross, USAF (Retired), Chuck Billing and Sherry Igor-Billing, Alice Barry, Michael Balog, Jean vii Raniseski, Dr. Victor Arizpe, Dr. Bedford Clark, Dr. C. Wayne Smith, and Dr. John Velasquez. My sincerest gratitude to my committee members, Dr. Thomas A. Green, Jr., Dr. Donny L. Hamilton, and David G. Woodcock, FAIA, RIBA, for their aid and enthusiasm in this endeavor. I would be remiss if I did not extend my sincerest gratitude to Dr. Sylvia Grider, friend and mentor, for guiding me in this project. Without her input and guidance, this work would never have come to fruition. The browbeating was good for me. Finally, I wish to thank all of my family, especially my parents, Bryan and Jean Allison, for their support and encouragement in pursuing my education. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT............................................... iii DEDICATION........................................... v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS...................................... vi LIST OF FIGURES....................................... x LIST OF TABLES........................................ xi CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION— OPENING THE DIALOGUE............ 1 Methodology.................................. 5 Histories of Slavery in Texas............... 12 II SETTLEMENT..................................... 16 Brazos County Statistics..................... 20 Early Settlement in Austin's Colony......... 24 Slavery in the Colonial Period.............. 28 Slavery:Post-Colonialism to the CivilWar.... 33 Brazos County: Colonialism to the Republic... 40 Brazos County: Republic to the CivilWar ..... 48 Brazos County: Reconstruction and Beyond..... 59 III LIFEWAYS....................................... 75 Out of Africa................................ 84 Patterns of Work............................. 93 Patterns of Life............................. 99 The Slaves' Perspective: A Synthesis of Slavery in the Region......................... 132 ix CHAPTER IV STRUCTURES..................................... 139 Building the Landscape...................... 140 Historical Archaeology of Allenfarm and Rogers Plantation........................... 142 Conceptualizing the Architecture........... 148 The Big House............................... 151 Slave Quarters.............................. 164 Other Structures............................ 171 V CONCLUSION— CLOSING THE DIALOGUE............... 178 REFERENCES........................................... 187 APPENDIX 1............................................ 202 APPENDIX II........................................... 206 APPENDIX III.......................................... 260 VITA 264 X LIST OF FIGURES Page FIGURE 1.

The abundant and cheap lands attracted these settlers, who found in the southwestern part of the county a band of rich, alluvial soils suitable for large-scale agriculture. Bordered by the Brazos River to the west and the Navasota River to the east, these alluvial plains offered the promise of high crop yields and profits for the new settlers. Early crops focussed on corn and grains which could provide food for the settlers and their livestock as they carved out a life for themselves on the frontier. As the land became more settled, cotton became a primary crop. By 1831, the terraced slopes with their accompanying rocky soils and post oak cover were beginning to be settled. Although these areas were less productive, they were suitable for grazing. Farther inland, the town of Millican grew, and would become a major city by the 1860s. Yet except for This dissertation follows the style and format of Historical Archaeology. Millican, this section of the county remained a rural, sparsely populated region. Given over to agriculture, the land's stewards focussed on raising crops and livestock. By the 1850s, the plains along the Brazos River, which we now call Allenfarm and Rogers Plantation, were devoted wholly to raising cotton. In the neighboring counties— Burleson, Grimes, Milam, Robertson, and Washington— the pattern was much the same. With the exception of the Brazos Bluffs in Washington County, the lands along the rivers and major streams were similar to southwestern Brazos County. Lands along the Brazos and Navasota watershed were settled first, and soon became major farming centers. By the 1850s, these areas, like Allenfarm and Rogers Plantation, were devoted to growing cotton, and also remained rural, sparsely populated lands. In all of these counties, settlement, the development of the cotton industry, and the development of the landscape depended primarily on labor by the slaves brought into the area. Although Brazos County was not a traditional "black county," slaves in Brazos and her neighboring counties accounted for nearly one-fifth of the total slave population in Texas by 1860 (Bornhorst 1971; Campbell 1989). In 1995, the lands in southwestern Brazos County, 3 especially around Allenfarm and Rogers Plantation, look much as they did in the mid-nineteenth century

  • Project Planning Documentation
    Project Planning Documentation Overview of Project Project funding will be used to complete necessary preliminary engineering and NEPA for a new 250 mile high-speed core express service between Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston. Based on the preliminary planning summarized in this document, the Dallas-Fort Worth to Houston route could utilize one of three routes analyzed, consisting of a BNSF route through Teague, a UPRR route through College Station, or a new green field route that parallels I-45. Additionally, all three of the routes include segments of the UPRR Terminal and West Belt Subdivisions in order to connect to the existing passenger rail station in downtown Houston and a small portion of the UPRR Dallas Subdivision to connect to the existing passenger rail station (Union Station) in Dallas. Purpose and Need The purpose of the Dallas/Fort Worth to Houston core express service preliminary engineering and NEPA documentation is to prepare the project for the next stage of final design and construction. The Dallas/Fort Worth to Houston corridor has been included in the Texas Rail Plan as well as a research study performed by the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI), and the America 2050 report as a key corridor with need for high speed rail service. Texas Rail Plan TxDOT completed and published the Texas Rail Plan in November 2010, which included a short term and long term program for passenger rail. The Dallas to Houston corridor was included in the short term program for preliminary planning and in the long term program for further development of the project.

  • Southern Pacific
    Santa Fe By J. A. DANA Division Freight Agent, Houston HE WILLINGNESSOf America’s railroads to provide facilities T whereby commerce might move expeditiously and be widely distributed has been one of the greatest factors in the Na- tion’s growth. Had it not been for the part the rail lines have played it is doubtful if the United States could have reached its present status as an industrial and agricultural nation. Playing a predominant part in the transportation of America’s products during the past 75 years has been the Santa Fe system. Indications point to the Santa Fe taking a still greater role in the years to come. Operating 13,102 miles of railroad, the Santa Fe system links many of the nation’s largest industrial and supply centers with the Gulf Coast and the Pacific Coast. Not only are the industrial and supply centers afforded a speedy route for the movement of their products but likewise the vast agricultural area of ,the Southwest and the Midwest are served. History of the Santa Fe system, as it operates today, dates These new steel beauties are typical o~ the super-powered high speed freight back to 1859 when Cyrus K. Holliday a, pplied for, and received, a locomotives ordered by the Santa Fe and among the first o~ the big fleet of freight and passenger engines now being delivered. Left to right, they are the new 4-8-4 charter for the construction and operation of a railroad which steam Iocom~ive of the 2900 class, next is a 5400 horsepower freight Diesel would link the two struggling Communities of Atchison and Topeka.

    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published Quarterly by The State H lstorical Society of Colorado Vol. XXVI Denver, Colorado, July, 1949 No. 3 Dr. Rose Kidd Beere, First Colorado Nurse in the Philippines ELLIS MEREDITH* Anyone who has youth, an inquiring mind, patience, all the time there is, and a secure income can have a pleasant and useful life discovering and writing the story of American Firsts. Any other land would include pasts too remote and obscure, but the "United States is very young. Almost anyone can recall a few "firsts" in his own community. This is the story of how Dr. Rose Kidd Beere got to the Philippine Islands in 1898, going as a nurse, not as a doctor, though she was given charge of the government hospitals on her arrival in Manila. ·when the United States declared war on Spain in 1898, Major Meredith B. Kidd, U. S. Cavalry, wrote his daughter Rose, lamenting: ''There is an American war, and none of our family is in it. I am too old to go, your boys are too young." While he did not say it, she understood-she was a woman, not available. She wired her father, "If you will take care of my boys I will go,'' and presently the three youngsters were on their way to their grandfather, while their mother started on the perilous road of adventure. ' The first set-back came from Governor Alva Adams, who haq the courage to speak the disagreeable truth. ''They won't send you,'' he said with a rueful shake of his head.

The Irish • The Irish were another important group that influenced traditional American music and dance. Black dancers imitated Irish dancers and vice versa . Eventually, the two styles mix ed and made a new dance Tap Dance • This dance comes from the African Juba dance and Irish Step-dancing. • Tap dancers create rhythms by tapping metal plates on their heels and toes.
