As the founder of the National PCA/ACA, its regional organizations, the inspiration behind the Journal of Popular Culture and the Journal of American Culture, a prolific author and advocate for Popular /American Culture scholars Ray’s influence was felt worldwide. st Join us in dedicating our 31 Annual SWTX PCA/ACA Conference in his honor. CONTENTS PROGRAM Ray Browne (1922 – 2009): Mentor to Many and Friend to All Ray Browne was a mentor to thousands of us and we celebrate his influence as we mourn. At the age of 87, he was still editing book reviews for the Journal of American Culture and, pretty much till the end of his life, making the daily trek to his office in Bowling Green State University’s Jerome Library. Ray believed that there was both a need and an opportunity to study popular culture. For someone trained in folklore (as Ray had been), this was not a radical notion, but “traditionalist” professors in English and history departments deplored such slumming. A 1969 Toledo, Ohio, meeting of the American Studies Association focusing on popular culture became the occasion for crystallizing random experiments into a new movement. With cohorts Russell Nye, Tom Towers, Marshall Fishwick, and Daniel Walden—and with indispensable help from Ms.

One member of the team has been looking into the therapeutic potential of fibrinogen, a component of blood, with the growing expectation that it will prove of immense benefit in a number of clinical situations (i.e. as surgical sealant; delivery vehicle for drugs; template for bone reconstruction). But how to get enough of this material to meet the anticipated need?

This paper closely examines twenty-four scholarly works that attempt to understand this period and place it in its proper context. The widespread fascination with the Starving Time stems from Jamestown’s importance in the history of the United States as the first permanent English settlement in America. Upon first glance, famine is not something that is usually associated with success, though.

  • Annotated 1870 Lexington, Virginia Census
    1870 CENSUS TOWN OF LEXINGTON AND TOWNSHIP OF LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA Transcribed, corrected, and annotated by Col. Edwin L. Dooley, Jr. (Updated 19 July 2012) The National Archives, National Archives and Records Service, General Services Administration, Washington. National Archives Microfilm Publication Microcopy No. 593, Population Schedules of the Eighth Census of the United States, 1870. 1. The spelling of many names has been corrected by the editor. For names as they appear in the Census, reader should consult the original record. 2. Birth and death dates have been added from independent sources listed in “Sources Cited in Endnotes,” which follows the Census record. Ages given in the original Census are often wrong and should be compared with birth and death dates. 3. Groupings follow those in the Census schedule. Groupings indicate family groups or persons residing in the same household; however, the order of names does not necessarily indicate relationships. 4. This Census study is the continuation of a similar study of the 1860 Lexington Census. Where the same name appears in each Census, an informational endnote can be found in the 1860 Census, with a cross-reference appearing in the 1870 Census. Where a name appears only in the 1870 Census, the informational endnote will be found in the 1870 Census. 5.The informational endnotes in this Census study are updated periodically. For comments, additions, corrections, or suggestions, direct correspondence to Col. Edwin L. Dooley, Jr., c/o VMI Archives, Preston Library, VMI, Lexington, VA 24450. 6. KEY: N = Number assigned by editor; HH=Household numbered in the schedules; S = sex (M = male, F = female); R = race (W = White, B = Black, M = Mulatto); B = birthplace.
