A HISTORY OF HAT CREEK PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, 1742-1953 BY SYDNOR FRANKL IN FOSTER, JR . A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF RICID·WND IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY ... LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND VIRGINIA AUGUST, 1954 PREFACE All the records of the early history of Hat Creek were destroyed in a very unfortunate fire in 1854. The first two volumes of the present records are kept in storage at the Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, Virginia. The third volume, covering the period from 1902 to 194o, will probably be sent there for safe storage in the very near future. Em­ ploying every available source, the writer has attempted to give a chronological account of the events surrounding Hat Creek from ifs founding in 1742, through the end of 1953. It would have been impossible to compile the data for this thesis and get it in a readable form if it had not been for the cooperation of those who possessed the records and a knowledge of some of the background to the founding of Hat Creek.

Baker Whether concerned with the historical record, print culture, Southern literature, or book collecting, scholars have regarded Austria-born Sigmund Heinrich Goetzel as a significant publishing figure in the Deep South, both in the late antebellum period and during the Civil War. Although the firm operated as a publishing house for only eight years, its imprint is one of the best-known to collectors of rare books, and particularly to collectors of Confederate imprints. All of the Goetzel publications are now scarce, and some of them are of great rarity.1 Goetzel’s two publishing firms—S. H. Goetzel & Co. and S. H. Goetzel—are known primarily through twenty-eight publications. These include a map, a broadside, several pamphlets, and numerous books, representing a variety of literary genres: historical and contemporary novels, essays, poems, military and agricultural manuals, an ordinance code book, travel books, political treatises, sermons, and a spelling book. While most of the Civil War imprints were reissues of northern- and English-published titles, quite a few of the antebellum works were original titles. Over the four years of the war’s duration, a number of Cotton City entrepreneurs were engaged in occasional publishing, but only S.

Conquest displaced the Spanish colony and its subjects, some of who fled into the mountainous interior of Jamaica and assumed lives in isolation. This project reconstructs the historical experiences of the “negro” populations of Spanish and English Jamaica, which included its “free black”, “mulattoes”, indigenous peoples, and others, and examines how English cosmopolitanism and distinct interactions laid the groundwork for and informed the syncretic identities and communities that emerged decades later. Upon the framework of English conquest within the West Indies, I explore the experiences of one such settlement alongside the early English colony of Jamaica to understand how a formal relationship materialized between the entities and how its course inflected the distinct socio-political identity and emergent political agency embodied by the Jamaican Maroons.

  • Hand-List of the Legh of Booths Charters in the John Rylands Library
    HAND-LIST OF THE LEGH OF BOOTHS CHARTERS IN THE JOHN RYLANDS LIBRARY. BY F. TAYLOR, M.A., PH.D. KEEPER OF MANUSCRIPTS AND ASSISTANT LIBRARIAN IN THE JOHN RYLANDS LIBRARY. documents listed below relate to the old Cheshire A family of Legh of Norbury Booths Hall, near Knutsford, and its estates from the late thirteenth to the early nineteenth century. They were saved from destruction 1 last century by the antiquary Richard Henry Wood (1820-1908), a scholar associated for many years with local history studies in Cheshire and Lancashire, and now form part of the large and important manuscript collection which he brought together from many sources. A general survey of this collection, which was deposited in the Library in 1940 by Captain J. Hatton Wood, has been given elsewhere,2 and it is perhaps sufficient here to notice that, in addition to the Legh charters, it is rich in monastic documents (twelfth-fifteenth century) and rare seals,3 and contains several royal grants (the earliest dating from the reign of Henry I), as well as a considerable number of miscellaneous deeds, mostly pre-1500, relating to some twenty-five counties. The Cheshire element of the Hatton Wood MSS., excluding the Legh charters, is comparatively small, numbering only thirty-six documents. Certain of these, however, are worthy of note, among them being eight thirteenth-century charters of the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, five leases (1562-1647) from the Master and Brethren of the Hospital of St. John without the North Gate, Chester, a letter from Burghley to Edmund Gammell, late Mayor of Chester (Oct.

  • Rewriting the Frontier: Making History in Tuscaloosa, Alabama
    REWRITING THE FRONTIER: MAKING HISTORY IN TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA by THOMAS CHASE HAGOOD (Under the Direction of Allan Kulikoff) ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the dynamics of white settlement at Tuscaloosa, Alabama and the role of settlers’ written words in mythologizing the nineteenth-century, American frontier. The lived experiences of settlers, captured in individuals’ letters, diaries, deeds, wills, poems and books, tell how they transformed a frontier into the Old South. Over the course of the nineteenth century, however, generations of migrants, storytellers and local writers also blended historical accounts, memories, Native legends and fiction, thereby contributing to the creation of the myths of the American frontier and the early formations of southern identity. INDEX WORDS: White settlement, Tuscaloosa, Alabama, American frontier, Old South, southern identity.
