Blyth ~Oc?618l L\~\ Before the antebellum South, there was another South, the area of the ea..,lern Spanish Borderlands. From 1783 to 1795 Spain claimed much of present-day Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Florida. Spanish governors and commanders made brilliant but unsuccessful improvisations to maintain claims to the area. In 1795 Spain gave up her claims to the Ohio Valley and the Natchez district to the United States. Spain's retreat from the South was just beginning. In 1803, after convoluted diplomatic dealings, the United States purchased Louisiana from France, which hadjust recovered it from Spain. I The eastern Spanish Borderlands, less parts of the Gulf Coast and Florida, became the Anglo-American Old Southwest. In studies of this area, little notice is given to the Spanish story.2 Attempts to tell any story from the Spanish Borderlands must first deal with two barriers. One is the national tale of the seemingly irreversible Anglo­ American advance across the North American continent. Another "is the old 'Black Legend' of Spanish cruelty deeply imbedded in the mentality of the English-speaking world.'" This paper will present the actions of army deserters and runaway slave& to show that not everything went the Anglo-American's way all the time. The experiences ofthese two groups also show a humanitarian and inclusive side of Spanish frontier society not often realized. Deserting soldiers and runaway ~laves have neither been studied extensively nor together. The successful acts of desertion or running away left little evidence except reports or notices. No moral comparison can be made between soldiers and slaves. yet both their status's deprived them of many. if not all, rights before the law. Resistance to the demands of servitude often led them to flee. Further, in early American Louisiana, sIaveowners linked soldiers and slaves. Soldiers provided a "psychological function" for slaveowners, who believed soldiers a deterrent to the ever-present fear of a slave insurrcction.4 So when deserters and runaways both fled to Spanish territory, it was a cause for concern for sIaveowners. Also troublesome would have been the general inclusiveness of Spanish society on the northern frontier. Northern New Spain possessed a heterogeneous population composed of Europeans. Native Americans, and Africans. In particular, Texas was a racial melting pot by the end of the eighteenth century. Foreign settlers always had entered Texas, although officially forbidden to do so by law. The inhabitants of Spanish Texas did not take such royal prohibitions too seriously. Foreigners often were cla..'isified as "Spaniards" (espanoles) from their country of origin, such as a "Spaniard from France." Spanish frontier society offered social and ethnic mobility and a place for both deserters and mnaways from Louisiana.5 In December 1803, General James Wilkinson led the United States' military occupation of Louisiana with 300 regular soldiers and 200 Tennessee militiamen. The new governor, William C.C. Claiborne, wanted such a large force in case the mulatto and slave populations used the transfer to stage an Lance R. Blyth is a graduate sttldellt at Northern Arizona University, FlagwlIff, ArizufUJ. 4 EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION insurrection. The insurrection did not occur and Wilkinson and Claiborne completed the transfer of New Orleans on the twentieth of December. Not until April 26. 1804, did Captain Edward D. Turner, First United States Infantry, occupy Natchitoches on the new U.S.-Spanish frontier. American deserters had crossed the frontier months ahead of him. Spanish officials in Texas now encountered American deserters and runaway slaves at their frontier post of Nacogdoches.6 Nacogdoches was the eastern entrance to Spanish Texas. At the time it was a settlement of almost 200 families with a total population of over 800. Given its place on the trade and contraband route, most immigrants to Texas from Louisiana preferred to stay in Nacogdoches. Nacogdoches was also an important military post. As early as 1795 Spain positioned a military detachment in Nacogdoches to prevent foreigners from entering Texas, and its importance grew following the occupation of Louisiana by the United States.

Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2011 APPROVED: Elizabeth Hayes Turner, Major Professor Richard B.

Spencer, Committee Member and Director of the Women’s Studies Program James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Fish, Birney Mark. Mary Jones: Last First Lady of the Republic of Texas. Doctor of Philosophy (History), December 2011, 275 pp., 3 tables, 2 illustrations, bibliography, 327 titles. This dissertation uses archival and interpretive methods to examine the life and contributions of Mary Smith McCrory Jones in Texas. Specifically, this project investigates the ways in which Mary Jones emerged into the public sphere, utilized myth and memory, and managed her life as a widow. Each of these larger areas is examined in relation to historiographicaly accepted patterns and in the larger context of women in Texas, the South, and the nation during this period. Mary Jones, 1819-1907, experienced many of the key early periods in Anglo Texas history. The research traces her family’s immigration to Austin’s Colony and their early years under Mexican sovereignty. The Texas Revolution resulted in her move to Houston and her first brief marriage. Following the death of her husband she met and married Anson Jones, a physician who served in public posts throughout the period of the Texas Republic. Over time Anson was politically and personally rejected to the point that he committed suicide.

Theodore Pavie was eighteen years old and a full-blown, wide-eyed Romantic in 1829 when he sailed from France to Louisiana to visit his uncle on a pJantatlon near Natchitoches. While there, Pavie was adventurous enough to explore the wilderness road between Natchitoches and Nacogdoches, and he was completely entranced by the people of the frontier wilderness on both sides of the Sabine River. He absorbed the whole Borderland panorama, ran the experience through the filter of The Romantic Age, and produced a semi­ fictional travel book and several short stories. The short stories. these Tales of the Sabine Borderlands.

É instigante pensar em como a vida se constitui enquanto uma fluidez de eventos, sentimentos, aprendizados e passagens. Enquanto esta fluidez permeia os mais recônditos espaços da existência, uma força pode atuar de uma de forma assombrosamente silenciosa: O tempo esvai-se de si cotidianamente em uma fração singular e aparentemente invisível, dando-nos a vida, ao mesmo segundo que a tira. Ele é quem nos dá, segundo após segundo, o privilégio de sentir a vida passando ante a nossos olhos, constituindo-se como o motor de nossa existência, em que frequente ao seu curso, a vida se vai e de si se esvai. De uma forma talvez cruel, o tempo qualifica a experiência: O que era ontem, já não será o hoje; o segundo retirado da nossa existência há pouco, jamais se repetirá; o agora se configura como uma instância volátil, que evapora em um fragmento quase imperceptível.

    THE GROWTH OF BRAZILIAN BAPTIST CHURCHES IN METROPOLITAN sAo PAULO: 1981- 1990 by Donald Edward Price submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Theology in the subject MISSIOLOGY atthe University of South Africa SUPERVISOR: PROF WA SAA YMAN JOINT SUPERVISOR: DR B H BURNS NOVEMBER, 1998 University of South Africa Abstract THE GROWTH OF BRAZILIAN BAPTIST CHURCHES IN METROPOLITAN sAo PAULO: 1981-1990 by Donald Edward Price Chairperson of the Supervisory Committee:Professor Willam A. Saayman Department of Missiology This work endeavors to analyze the growth of Brazilian Baptists in metropolitan Sao Paulo between the last two official censes. Protestants have been accused of not adapting to Brazilian culture, of organizing "mini­ convents," rather than life and society-transforming communities, of having their roots so deeply embedded in their rural past that they are maladjusted to Brazilian urban life. Is this so? Has the result of over one hundred years of missionary effort been the production of a carbuncle within the Brazilian social fabric, a foreign body that must be rejected - as it rejects its host? Chapter two traces the history of Brazil, and of the insertion of Missionary Protestantism into the Brazilian social fabric. Special emphasis is given to the growth and development of the Brazilian Baptist Convention, especially in the State of Sao Paulo. Finally, the growth of the Brazilian Baptist churches in metropolitan Sao Paulo between the last two censes, 1981-1990, is analyzed. Brazilian Baptists have grown at better than twice the rate of the general population, especially in the urban, residential, communities.
