Eleven vessels of quaint shape bearing the broad banner of Spain , were moored close to the shore ;one thousand men of infantry and three hundred and fifty men of the cavalry , fully equipped , were landing in proud array under command of Hernando De Soto , one of the most illustrious ' one companions of Pizarro in the conquest of Peru , and reported ” of the best lancers of Spain . >l< >I< >l< >x< Among his followers are gentlemen of the best blood of Spain and of Portugal . >k >l< Chi c k es aw s Now he is encamped in the territory of the , the most ferocious of the Indian tribes .

That band had two leaders , Father e oli et e Marqu tte , a monk , and J a m rchant , the prototype of two i n great sources of power , religion and commerce , which , the course u of time , were destined to exercise such infl ence on the civilization ' b the of the Western territory , traversed y mighty river which they had discovered T hat humble monkish gown of Father ’ ’ Marquette concealed a hero s heart , and in the merchant s breast there dwelt a soul that would have disgraced no belted knight .

  • Equality of Man Before His Creator”: Thaddeus Stevens’S Struggle for Radical Reconstruction on December 4, 1865
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF HUMANITIES “EQUALITY OF MAN BEFORE HIS CREATOR”: THADDEUS STEVENS’S STRUGGLE FOR RADICAL RECONSTRUCTION ON DECEMBER 4, 1865 CURTIS ROYER SPRING 2017 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in American Studies with honors in American Studies Reviewed and approved* by the following: John Haddad Professor of American Studies Thesis Supervisor Anne A. Verplanck Associate Professor of American Studies Faculty Reader Ronald A. Walker Associate Professor of Mathematics Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College i ABSTRACT December 4, 1865 remains one of the least remembered dates in American history. Yet, the implications of the events of that day affect us even today. United States Representative Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania (1792-1868) worked with fellow Republicans in the House of Representatives to bar Southern representative-elects from taking their seats in Congress on December 4, 1865. This thesis explores December 4 as a pivotal date to both the United States and the career of Stevens. If the Southern representative-elects, some of whom were former Confederate officials, were permitted to take their seats in Congress they may have worked with Northern Democrats to reverse the progress made by Republicans during the Civil War by permanently manipulating the Thirteenth Amendment to reinstate a form of slavery. Southern legislatures had already begun the process of recreating a slave-like system with the black codes. Stevens found these codes to be highly disturbing. Instead, Stevens consulted the Constitution and effectively barred the Southern delegation from Congress.

They record the social, political and economic lives of rich and poor, female and male, slave and free, African, Native, European and American colonials. Although the majority of the cases deal with attempts by creditors to recover unpaid debts, the colonial collection includes many successions. These documents often contain a wealth of biographical information concerning Louisiana’s colonial inhabitants. Estate inventories, records of commercial transactions, correspondence and copies of wills, marriage contracts and baptismal, marriage and burial records may be included in a succession document. The colonial document collection includes petitions by slaves requesting manumission, applications by merchants for licenses to conduct business, requests by ship captains for absolution from responsibility for cargo lost at sea, and requests by traders for permission to conduct business in Europe, the West Indies and British colonies in North America **************************************************************************** RECORD GROUP 2 SPANISH JUDICIAL RECORDS Acc. # 1849.1; 1867; 7243 Acc. # 1849.2 = playing cards, 17790402202 Acc. # 1849.3 = 1799060301 1769-1803 190.5 ln. ft (381 boxes); 2 oversize boxes Like the judicial records from the French period, but with more details given, the Spanish records show the life of all of the colony.
