“Between the Creeks” Gwen Pettit This is a compilation of weekly newspaper columns on local history written by Gwen Pettit during 1986-1992 for the Allen Leader and the Allen American in Allen, Texas. Most of these articles were initially written and published, then run again later with changes and additions made. I compiled these articles from the Allen American on microfilm at the Allen Public Library and from the Allen Leader newspapers provided by Mike Williams. Then, I typed them into the computer and indexed them in 2006-07. Lois Curtis and then Rick Mann, Managing Editor of the Allen American gave permission for them to be reprinted on April 30, 2007, [email protected]. Please, contact me to obtain a free copy on a CD. I have given a copy of this to the Allen Public Library, the Harrington Library in Plano, the McKinney Library, the Allen Independent School District and the Lovejoy School District. Tom Keener of the Allen Heritage Guild has better copies of all these photographs and is currently working on an Allen history book. Keener offices at the Allen Public Library. Gwen was a longtime Allen resident with an avid interest in this area’s history. Some of her sources were: Pioneering in North Texas by Capt. Roy and Helen Hall, The History of Collin County by Stambaugh & Stambaugh, The Brown Papers by George Pearis Brown, The Peters Colony of Texas by Seymour V. Conner, Collin County census & tax records and verbal history from local long-time residents of the county. She does not document all of her sources. -

Callaway County, Missouri During the Civil War a Thesis Presented to the Department of Humanities
THE KINGDOM OF CALLAWAY: CALLAWAY COUNTY, MISSOURI DURING THE CIVIL WAR A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS By ANDREW M. SAEGER NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY MARYVILLE, MISSOURI APRIL 2013 Kingdom of Callaway 1 Running Head: KINGDOM OF CALLAWAY The Kingdom of Callaway: Callaway County, Missouri During the Civil War Andrew M. Saeger Northwest Missouri State University THESIS APPROVED Thesis Advisor Date Dean of Graduate School Date Kingdom of Callaway 2 Abstract During the American Civil War, Callaway County, Missouri had strong sympathies for the Confederate States of America. As a rebellious region, Union forces occupied the county for much of the war, so local secessionists either stayed silent or faced arrest. After a tense, nonviolent interaction between a Federal regiment and a group of armed citizens from Callaway, a story grew about a Kingdom of Callaway. The legend of the Kingdom of Callaway is merely one characteristic of the curious history that makes Callaway County during the Civil War an intriguing study. Kingdom of Callaway 3 Introduction When Missouri chose not to secede from the United States at the beginning of the American Civil War, Callaway County chose its own path. The local Callawegians seceded from the state of Missouri and fashioned themselves into an independent nation they called the Kingdom of Callaway. Or so goes the popular legend. This makes a fascinating story, but Callaway County never seceded and never tried to form a sovereign kingdom. Although it is not as fantastic as some stories, the Civil War experience of Callaway County is a remarkable microcosm in the story of a sharply divided border state. -

Pebbles and Crumbs in Neoliberal Space
Pebbles and crumbs in neoliberal space Siraj Izhar 2006 Written for City Mined conference on ‘Generalised Empowerment’ London 2006 www.generalizedempowerment.org/conference These are improbable times when represented reality bears less and less resemblance to actual reality. The greater the currency of the words freedom and democracy, the more pervasive the forms of social control with new technologies of surveillance and monitoring underpinned by an indefinite War on Terror; the greater the demand for more mobile, more cheap and more flexible labour, the more the significance of borders and impulse to reactive nationalism; the greater the appeal to economic growth, the more the precaricity and insecurity in our communities and widening of social division. There is a baroque aesthetic form in the making that extrapolates the world of representation from the world of lived reality to the absolute extreme. It is a grand project of abstraction become viral and truthfully mirrors an economic reality in which monetary exchanges for necessary commodities are a tiny fraction of the amount produced for speculation. In such terms at least, our lived reality is sedimented at the bottom of a seismic flow of transnational speculative capital. Sustaining a belief out of this falls to the labour of the professional classes today; theirs is the imaginative task of ‘consensualising’ the contradictions. This make belief world is itself a vast undertaking commissioned outsourced and routinised and in it Culture is the keystone and its producers, including artists have become key functionaries; Art in particular is coveted for this role because it is an ‘innocent’ child, because its intrinsic value is independent of economic capital, because of its (to quote Bourdieu) ‘inverted economy’. -

WHY ECOSOCIALISM TODAY? by Joel Kovel Homo Sapiens Has Been
WHY ECOSOCIALISM TODAY? By Joel Kovel Homo sapiens has been contending with its effects on nature since Paleolithic days and the first great extinctions wrought by hunting bands. But it was not until the 1970s that these became experienced as a great ecological crisis threatening the future of the species. The modern environmental movement was born in that moment, with its Earth Days, green parties and innumerable NGOs signalling that a new, ecologically aware age had arisen to contend with the planetary threat. The optimism of those early years has now quite faded. Despite certain useful interventions like greater recycling of garbage or the development of green zones, it is increasingly apparent that the whole mass of governmental regulations, environmental NGO’s, and academic programs has failed to check the overall pace of ecological decay. Since the first Earth Day was proclaimed, in fact, the breakdown in crucial areas such as carbon emissions, the loss of barrier reefs and deforestation of the Amazon basin, has actually accelerated and even begun to assume an exponential character. How do we explain this grim fact, the awareness of which should inspire the most vigorous efforts to go beyond the limits of present-day environmentalism? Perhaps Margaret Thatcher should be heeded here. In the later years of the 1970s, the very decade that was to usher in the environmental era, the “Iron Lady” Prime Minister of the UK announced the rise of “TINA,” such being the acronym for her slogan that “There Is No Alternative” to the given society, and certainly no alternative of the sort envisioned by the first wave of environmentalists.
