His sons and subsequent streets were nmed for U.S. presidents like Jefferson, Washington, Monroe, and Jackson.

  • Katherine Mansfield – Assessment Task
    Katherine Mansfield – Assessment Task Engaged in the real world of the 20th century, modernist writer Katherine Mansfield depicts her short stories and her strong beliefs on feminism, social issues and relationships through the voice of characters contained in her ‘Collection of Short Stories.’ With narrative anthologies exploring a vast range of dysfunctional relationships, Mansfield argues they should be a matter of personal choice. Her experiences growing up in New Zealand heightened her awareness of the discontinuities, lacunae, and constrictions of 20th century life. Following with her journeys around the world, where she absorbed the condescending ethics of social class around a patriarchy society, which she demonstrates throughout her narratives. The concept that relationships should be a matter of choice is portrayed by the views of multiple characters in Mansfield’s ‘Prelude’. ‘Prelude’ is the first story in the collection and is an essential reading, like its sequel, ‘At the bay.’ Initially, the Burnell family are moving from the city to the country. The three children are neglected by their parents, Linda and Stanley and are predominantly raised by their grandmother, Mrs Fairfield. The Burnell’s being ‘upper class’ use language primarily to establish control over their environment, “we shall simply have to cast them off.” This contrasts with the linguistic style of the Samuel Josephs who are ‘lower class’ and the reader assumes to be less educated, “you come and blay in the dursery”. Mansfield writes with such strong descriptive language that the story is played out visually for the reader, “she had a comb in her fingers and in a gentle absorbed fashion she was combing the curls from her mother’s forehead.” Through this technique we know Linda is unhappy in her marriage and ironically her envious sister Beryl Fairfield contrarily wishes she was in one.

  • The Archaeological Survey of Sand Bay Pier Bois Blanc Island, Lake Huron, Michigan
    The Archaeological Survey of Sand Bay Pier Bois Blanc Island, Lake Huron, Michigan Conducted By Team Members: John Sanborn, project manager/author Andrea Gauthier, data recording Donovan Alkire, researcher/author Henry Ramsby, operational officer/author INTRODUCTION The remains of a pier (loading dock) located in Sand Bay on Bois Blanc Island (BBI), Michigan, in the Straits of Mackinac, was surveyed as part of a Nautical Archeology Society (NAS) certification program in the summer of 2010. The objective of this project is to document the history and use of the pier as it related to logging from the late 1800’s to the time of its demise in 1930. The primary focus of this research is to survey the remains of the pier, both underwater and on the foreshore. A total station was used to survey two of the main crib structures, a number of pilings and submerged artifacts. Extensive photographic documentation was also produced of the site as a record of its current state. During preliminary research it was discovered that a strange tale existed surrounding the pier. In the early 1900's a narrow gauge railroad had been constructed across the island, which terminated at the end of the pier. Local folklore indicated that a Shay locomotive had either been driven off the end of the pier into Lake Huron, or had been blown up with dynamite while still on the pier. This local mystery has provided a research question to be answered by this project. The research team has set out to either prove, or disprove the legend of the Shay and the manner in which the locomotive met its demise.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

It requires similar interests, similar styles of writing and above all a similarity of critical perspective which must be neither so narrow as to inhibit original thinking nor so broad as to allow real differences to show. Even parallel lines of thought can follow tracks different enough to be embarrassing when the aim is to present a coherent and unified view of the subject. When the writer is a regional figure with a metropolitan publishing history the strain of diversity can be acute.
