  • Chronological Bibliography of Rivers of America Series
    University of Dubuque / Charles C. Myers Library William J. Petersen Collection CHRONOLOGICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF RIVERS OF AMERICA SERIES By Joel L. Samuels Dubuque, Iowa 52001-5050 June 24, 1997 (Lightly edited, May 5, 2006) Contents Introduction . 3 Bibliography Original Editions . 4 Later Editions . 14 Index of Authors . 22 Index of Illustrators . 24 Index of Rivers . 26 Introduction "The American nation came to birth upon the rivers" is the concept behind the "Rivers of America," a series of books originated by Constance Lindsay Skinner, distinguished novelist and poet. The intention was to portray American history as understood through an imaginative grasp of the rivers' influence upon the ordinary lives of Americans. Initially projected as a series of twenty-four volumes under the editorship of Constance Lindsay Skinner, it developed into a series of sixty-two titles from the first title in 1937 to the last title in 1974. Two titles, Havighurst's Upper Mississippi (1937) and Niles' The James (1939), were revised by the authors and published, respectively, in 1944 and 1945 and are normally considered part of the original series, thereby making it a series of sixty-four titles. Many persons consider Songs of the Rivers of America, edited by Carl Carmer (New York: Farrar & Rinehart, 1942) to be a title in the series, thereby making a series of sixty-five titles. The original series was published by Farrar & Rinehart (1937-1945) and its successor firms: Rinehart (1946-1958) and Holt, Rinehart, and Winston (1962-1974). There were thirty-one titles published by Farrar & Rinehart; twenty- four titles published by Rinehart; and ten titles published by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston.

Some of these have lasted a long time and are impor- tant while others existed only a brief period and died, leaving, perhaps, only a name with no date available. In going through the old copies of the Banner the names of many of these latter appear only to be omitted in later issues and so we assume that they passed from the scene. A group might get together for some purpose, select a name, be recorded in the Banner, and then in a short time cease to exist. These we have not included for while they may have been important to the founders, they made no impression on the Yale scene. We have not in- cluded athletics or the preparatory school and state clubs that as a rule meet infrequently, perhaps for one dinner a year, and usually have an ephemeral existence. After months of research we have compiled a list of the more important extracurricular activities, giving, where possible, the date, when they first appeared and if they dropped out, the year. In some cases there are no adequate records and so we have resorted to ques- tion marks.

  • Was Foucault a Plagiarist? Hip-Hop Sampling and Academic Citation Mickey Hess
    Computers and Composition 23 (2006) 280–295 Was Foucault a plagiarist? Hip-hop sampling and academic citation Mickey Hess Department of English, Rider University, Lawrenceville, NJ 08648, United States Abstract This article argues that comparing academic citation and hip-hop sampling can help students become better users of sourcework. I contend that sampling and academic writing share a goal of building new work in response to existing sources and that this goal is obscured by lawsuits that reduce sampling to theft by applying to sound a copyright regulation system designed for print. Both sampling and citing seek to build new compositions by working from sources, yet academic citation systems preserve textual ownership through attribution while sampling often guards or disguises its sources. These different stances in regard to authorship and ownership belie the values shared by the two systems. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Keywords: Sampling; Hip-hop; Intellectual property; Citation; Plagiarism Sometimes I quote someone without using quotation marks or a footnote to give the name of the source. It seems like I’m just supposed to prove I’ve read this famous scholar, and I say why should I have to put quotes around it if you can’t even recognize who it comes from? The passage above seems to undermine so much of what we teach about academic writing. It is paraphrased, not from a conversation with a student, but from an interview with Michel Foucault (1980) where he described his citation practices in regard to Marx and Marxism: I often quote concepts, texts and phrases from Marx, but without feeling obliged to add the authenticating label of a footnote with a laudatory phrase to accompany the quotation.
