Dear Sir: — I beg leave to dedicate to you the Third Volume of the History of Methodism in Kentucky, with which my labors close. It was my intention to bring this History down to a later period; but finding myself among so many living men, to whose labors a sense of delicacy will not allow me to do justice, I deem it proper to refer their names and achievements to the future his- torian. The task I have performed has been to me one of great pleasure, although delicate and attended with many difficulties. The memory of persons advanced in age, especially in reference to dates, is not always reliable, nor are the official records of the Church free from errors.

    Mills on Lower Howard Creek

    Bryan-Taylor Mills on Lower Howard’s Creek Harry G. Enoch Originally published in The Millstone, Journal of the Kentucky Old Mill Association (Fall 2002), Vol. 1, No. 2, p. 19 Introduction The natural and industrial history of Lower Howard’s Creek in Clark County is currently the subject of intense local interest. The valley contains unique biological and cultural resources and is particularly noted for its sites of early mills, distilleries and quarries. Property near the mouth of the creek acquired by the Clark County Fiscal Court has been set aside as the Lower Howard’s Creek Nature and Heritage Preserve. Several projects have been completed at the Preserve and additional work is in progress. Much of the early effort focused on the John Martin house and mill.1 Archaeological surveys of other structures in the valley have identified the remains of several additional mill sites upstream from the Martin Mill on Lower Howard’s Creek and West Fork. A preliminary report of these findings has been published.2 One of the sites is at the mouth of West Fork and another is just upstream on the main stem of the creek. This essay was prepared as part of an effort to identify and interpret the structures found at these two sites. Early mills at these locations were associated with the Bryan and Taylor families. Bryan Family James Bryan (1723-1807) was one of seven sons of Morgan and Martha (Strode) Bryan of Chester County, Pennsylvania. Morgan Bryan is thought to have been a trader who resettled in what later became Frederick County, Virginia.

    A Summary of the 20 Two-Hour Talks on Nineteenth-Century British Art

    A summary of the 20 two-hour talks on nineteenth-century British art. I will go though a number of works we covered on the course. I will not put up the artist, title and date to begin with. Please do not shout out the details as the aim is for each one of you to gradually recognise the painting. You may you remember you have seen it before or you might remember all the details. I want everyone to silently score themselves against their own personal objectives. I will gradually reveal more and more about each painting and then give you the information before moving on. It is more important to remember what it is about than all the precise details of the artists name, the exact title and the precise date. 1 Benjamin West (1738-1820), The Death of General Wolfe, 1770, National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa • The first an by far the most important category was history painting. • Although history painting was never popular in England, the most popular categories were portraits and landscapes. • Benjamin West was an American who came to England in 1763 aged 25, and never returned. He became the second President of the Royal Academy (1792-1805, 1806- 1820) and declined a knighthood as he thought he should be made a peer. • It is not an historical event, it could be mythological, it is a biblical or classical scene that ennobles the viewer. • This painting created a minor scandal as the figures are wearing contemporary clothes, George III refused to buy it • Benjamin West was pushing the limits of history painting and changed what was acceptable • General Wolfe is Christ-like, wearing ordinary clothes, in blue Dr.

Tisdell Professor of Adult Education Francis Bremer Special Member Professor Emeritus Department of History Millersville University of Pennsylvania *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii ABSTRACT This work answers two main questions: How did settlers in the Old Northwest Territory and Kentucky identify themselves and how did they want others to see them as they lived on America’s first frontier from 1777 to 1830. It also challenges the idea of a western persona as one created after the 1830s in the far regions of the country. The first American West and the personality developed to portray frontier life initially began in the Old northwest Territory. Using rhetorical analysis, historical research, and psychological Interpretation, my answer to these questions is that settlers moving into Kentucky and the Old Northwest created an early American identity that designated them as the first westerners. These settlers used the process of identifying difference or “othering” to various degrees and memory to identify what they believed to be acceptable and unacceptable character traits.

    CONFLICT OF NATIONAL IDENTITY IN SUDAN Kuel Maluil Jok Academic Dissertation to be publicly discussed, by due permission of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Helsinki, in auditorium XII, on 31 March 2012 at 10 o‟clock. University of Helsinki, Department of World Cultures Kuel Jok Conflict of National Identity in Sudan Copyright © Kuel Jok 2012 ISBN 978-952-10-7919-1 (Print) ISBN 978-952-10-7891-0 (PDF) UNIGRAFIA Helsinki University Print Helsinki 2012 ii ABSTRACT This study addresses the contemporary conflict of national identity in Sudan between the adherents of „Islamic nationalism‟ and „customary secularism‟. The former urge the adoption of a national constitution that derives its civil and criminal laws from Sharia (Islamic law) and Arabic be the language of instruction in national institutions of Sudan. The group argues that the intertwined model of the Islamic-Arab cultural identity accelerates assimilation of the heterogeneous African ethnic and religious diversities in Sudan into a homogeneous national identity defining Sudan as an Islamic-Arab state. The latter demand the adoption of secular laws, which must be derived from the diverse set of customary laws and equal opportunities for all African languages beside Arabic and English. The group claims that the adoption of the Islamic laws and Arabic legalises the treatment of the citizens in the country in terms of religion and race and that implies racism and discrimination. In this way, the adherents of the Islamic nationalism imposed the Islamic-Arab model. In reaction, the Muslims and the non-Muslim secularists resort to violence as an alternative model of resistance.

    Origins of the Old South: Revolution, Slavery, and Changes in Southern Society, 1776-1800 Matthew P. Spooner Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Matthew P. Spooner All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Origins of the Old South: Revolution, Slavery, and Changes in Southern Society, 1776-1800 Matthew Spooner The American Revolution and its aftermath posed the greatest challenge to the institution of slavery since the first Africans landed in Jamestown. Revolutionary defenses of the natural equality of man provided ammunition for generations of men and women opposed to racial subordination while the ideological strains of the struggle sounded the death knell for slavery in Northern states and led significant numbers of Southerners to question the morality and safety of slaveholding. Most importantly, the bloody and chaotic war in the South provided an unprecedented opportunity for slaves to challenge their bondage as tens of thousands of black men and women fled to the British, the swamps, or the relative anonymity of the cities. Merging social, military, and economic history, "Origins of the Old South" examines how, in the attempt to rebuild their society from the ravages of war, black and white Southerners together created the new and historically distinct slave society of the “Old South.” The first two chapters of the dissertation demonstrate how the struggle to contain the disorders of a civil war amongst half a million enslaved African-Americans transformed the Southern states—the scene of the war’s bloodiest fighting after 1778— into a crucible in which men, land, and debt melted into capital.
