Xerox University Microfilms INFORMATION TO USERS T h ii material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer fotlowed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pagas may have indistinct print. Filmed as received. Xerox University Microfilms 300 North Zoob Rood Ann Arbor, Michigan 43106 I I; !

TENNESSEE IN TURMOIL: POLITICS IN THE VOLUNTEER STATE, 1920-1932 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David Dale Lee, B.A., M.A. The Ohio state University 1975 Reading Committee: Approved by Merton L. Dillon Gary W. Reichard John C. Burnham Adviser Department of History ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The assistance of many fine people, some of whom helped in ways they never realized, has made writing this disserta­ tion one of the most delightful experiences of my life. The staffs of the Tennessee State Library and Archives, the Memphis Public Library, and the Lawson-McGhee Library cheer­ fully and efficiently supplied materials for research. Professor Merton Dillon, who patiently supervised all of my graduate work, read the manuscript with his usual good judgment and pointed to numerous lapses of logic and style. Particular thanks must go to Professor Gary Reichard. Professor Reichard first suggested this topic to me and guided my progress at every stage. His contributions, both as teacher and friend, have won my deepest gratitude. Doctoral dissertations are often wearying of mind and spirit, and I would also like to thank those people who helped me to remember a world outside of libraries. Mrs. Maxine Stout of Nashville, Tennessee, graciously opened her home to an itinerant graduate student in a strange city. The Young Adult Sunday School Class of Belmont United Methodist Church in Nashville took me into its fellowship. My neighbors on the third floor of the Jones Graduate Tower repeatedly persuaded me that playing "Jeopardy" was more ii • I 4 important than holding a doctorate o£ philosophy. Lastly I must thank my parents, who have borne with grace and humor the difficulties of raising an over-educated son. VITA August 5, 1948 . Born - Cincinnati, Ohio 1970 ................

  • Foreword Missouri Has a History of Diversity in Geography, the Economy, Culture and People
    Foreword Missouri has a history of diversity in geography, the economy, culture and people. The state is well known for its ability to adapt to the changes required to accommodate this diversity. Among the changes that are occurring is the influx of immigrants from around the world. The changing of the colors of Missouri is, once again, providing a set of challenges to respond to. The most notable change in the faces and colors of Missouri in recent years is the increase of Latino and Hispanic peoples in both rural and urban areas. These new Missourians are contributing significantly to the local and state economy as well as to the social progress of the state. Because these new immigrants speak a different language and represent different cultures and values, we need to acknowledge and welcome their contributions and make an extra effort to weave and integrate them into the rich societal tapestry that results from such a change. Sylvia Lazos and Stephen Jeanetta together have studied and documented the current status of Latino and Hispanic people in the state. This critical and most timely research effort identifies the important issues that businesses, social services and community agencies need to consider in developing appropriate public policy issues that should be addressed. I urge you to use the knowledge included in this monograph to help create a Missouri that values each person and affords the equality of opportunity and individual rights that each person deserves. This is the right thing to do.

The volumes have been arranged chronologically and have been microfilmed. The original documents have been retained.

  • Let Us Give Them Something to Play With”: the Preservation of the Hermitage by the Ladies’ Hermitage Association
    “LET US GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO PLAY WITH”: THE PRESERVATION OF THE HERMITAGE BY THE LADIES’ HERMITAGE ASSOCIATION by Danielle M. Ullrich A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School at Middle Tennessee State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History with an Emphasis in Public History Murfreesboro, TN May 2015 Thesis Committee: Dr. Mary Hoffschwelle, Chair Dr. Rebecca Conard ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My parents, Dennis and Michelle Ullrich, instilled in me a respect for history at an early age and it is because of them that I am here today, writing about what I love. However, I would also not have made it through without the prayers and support of my brother, Ron, and my grandmother, Carol, who have reminded me even though I grow tired and weary, those who hope in the Lord will find new strength. Besides my family, I want to thank my thesis committee members, Dr. Mary Hoffschwelle and Dr. Rebecca Conard. Dr. Hoffschwelle, your wealth of knowledge on Tennessee history and your editing expertise has been a great help completing my thesis. Also, Dr. Conard, your support throughout my academic career at MTSU has helped guide me towards a career in Public History. Special thanks to Marsha Mullin of Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage, for reading a draft of my thesis and giving me feedback. And last, but certainly not least, to all the Hermitage interpreters who encouraged me with their questions and with their curiosity. ii ABSTRACT Since 1889, Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage has been open to the public as a museum thanks to the work of the Ladies’ Hermitage Association.
