RANDY MIll.S rtier accounts vary as to whether excessive drinking on the part of many Native American groups stemmed from biological or cultural factors or resulted from the influence of both forces. Recent research, however,has tended to focus on the latter viewpoint: Historical accounts do indicate that the tendency of tribal groups to drink to excess in the area of the Old Northwest became an especially troubling problem as tribes came into closer contact with newly arriving white settlers. Both white officials such as Indiana Territorial Governor William Henry Harrison,and Native Am (3 ri- can leaders such as Tecumseh and his brother the Prophet, wrestled wit]1 this dilemma.

A band of warriors marched in front painted for battle... and commenced a dance round our flag staff....After performing...they went to the Colonel's marque, and danced in the hot sun, drinking whisky at the same time, until all were as drunk as they could be and stand on their feet.

" men and women roamed all day about the town,merely to get rum, for which they eagerly exchanged their peitry,their toys, their clothes,and at length, when they had parted with their all, they offered their prayers and entreaties,never ceasing to drink till they had lost their senses....We found them in the streets by dozens in the morning, wallowing in the filth with the pigs."Volney also noted how binge drinking without restraint often led to deadly encounters. It "was rare for a day to pass without a deadly quarrel,by which about ten men lose their lives yearly.

Currency is losing value. Army vets are unpaid – given promissory notes that are worth little due to inflation. Vets sell their notes to put clothes on their backs and food in their mouths. Economic slump of the 1780s had many sources: • Massive quantities of property were destroyed in the war. • Because men were fighting in the war, they were unable to perform their regular jobs. Economic output fell. • Enslaved men, women, and children emancipated themselves by leaving with the British or simply running into forests and swamps. This was a financial loss to their enslavers. • Britain refused to allow Americans to trade with British sugar islands in the Caribbean – one of the American’s greatest income sources.

  • KENTUCKY in AMERICAN LETTERS Volume I by JOHN WILSON TOWNSEND
    KENTUCKY IN AMERICAN LETTERS Volume I BY JOHN WILSON TOWNSEND KENTUCKY IN AMERICAN LETTERS JOHN FILSON John Filson, the first Kentucky historian, was born at East Fallowfield, Pennsylvania, in 1747. He was educated at the academy of the Rev. Samuel Finley, at Nottingham, Maryland. Finley was afterwards president of Princeton University. John Filson looked askance at the Revolutionary War, and came out to Kentucky about 1783. In Lexington he conducted a school for a year, and spent his leisure hours in collecting data for a history of Kentucky. He interviewed Daniel Boone, Levi Todd, James Harrod, and many other Kentucky pioneers; and the information they gave him was united with his own observations, forming the material for his book. Filson did not remain in Kentucky much over a year for, in 1784, he went to Wilmington, Delaware, and persuaded James Adams, the town's chief printer, to issue his manuscript as The Discovery, Settlement, and Present State of Kentucke; and then he continued his journey to Philadelphia, where his map of the three original counties of Kentucky—Jefferson, Fayette, and Lincoln— was printed and dedicated to General Washington and the United States Congress. This Wilmington edition of Filson's history is far and away the most famous history of Kentucky ever published. Though it contained but 118 pages, one of the six extant copies recently fetched the fabulous sum of $1,250—the highest price ever paid for a Kentucky book. The little work was divided into two parts, the first part being devoted to the history of the country, and the second part was the first biography of Daniel Boone ever published.

Cayton _____________________________________________ Reader Dr. Mary Kupiec Cayton ____________________________________________ Reader Dr. Katharine Gillespie ____________________________________________ Dr. Peter Williams Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT "IN THE LAND OF CANAAN:" RELIGIOUS REVIVAL AND REPUBLICAN POLITICS IN EARLY KENTUCKY by Matthew Smith Against the tumult of the American Revolution, the first white settlers in the Ohio Valley imported their religious worldviews and experiences from a colonial past to their unfamiliar new surroundings. Within a generation, they witnessed the Great Revival (circa 1797-1805), a dramatic mass revelation of religion, converting thousands of worshipers to spiritual rebirth while transforming the region's cultural identity. This study focuses on the lives and careers of three prominent Kentucky settlers: Christian revivalists James McGready and Barton Warren Stone, and pioneering newspaper editor John Bradford. All three men occupy points on a religious spectrum, ranging from the secular public faith of civil religion, to the apocalyptic sectarianism of the Great Revival, yet they also overlap in unexpected ways.

  • Kentucky Women Have Been Active in Politics for Over 200 Years. Before
    Kentucky Women Rising Kentucky women have been active in politics for over 200 years. Before and after the passage of the 19th Amendment which granted women the right to vote, they repeatedly sought to participate in political life and make their voices heard. Though not always self-identifying as feminist – one who supports political, economic and social equality of the sexes - many fought for political, economic, and social equality. They organized groups focused on achieving their goals, ran for and attained political office, and proposed legislation. Women of color did not share equally in the gains made over time by their white female counterparts. Although the 19th Amendment applied to women of color, cultural norms – manifested in Jim Crow laws and other discriminatory practices – restricted women of color from their rights, especially in the southern states. Despite over 200 years of activism and the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, the struggle for equality continues today. Kentucky women are still in the fight, with many participating in the successive waves of feminism that have shaped the lives of all Kentuckians. Thanks to the WKU Department of Library Special Collections, Library of Congress, and University of Kentucky Special Collections for providing images utilized in this exhibition. Kentucky Women rising first Wave 1830’s to 1920’s First Wave Feminism focused on women’s right to vote. In 1838 – ten years before the Seneca Falls Convention – Kentucky passed the first permanent statewide suffrage law. It allowed any widow or female head of household over 21 who paid property taxes the right to vote in elections for the school system.
