The collection is organized in eight series: Journals; Family Correspondence; General Correspondence; Scrapbooks; Speech, Article, and Book File; Biographical File; Printed Matter; and Addenda. The Family Correspondence series includes numerous handwritten letters of Owen Wister and of such relatives as his grandmother Fanny Kemble Butler, his mother, Sarah Butler Wister, and his cousins, Silas Weir Mitchell and Langdon E. Mitchell. Wister's letters to his mother, 1870-1907, and to his wife, Mary Channing Wister, 1898-1913, contain detailed descriptions of his activities and thoughts during those years. The letters of Wister's grandmother, the celebrated British actress, Fanny Kemble, are numerous and extend from 1829 to 1891. His mother, the anonymous author of articles published by The Atlantic Monthly, was a close friend of Henry James, and the family papers contain several of James's letters to her. The large General Correspondence series consists mainly of letters received by Wister. Copies of his replies are infrequent. There is a great deal of correspondence from Wister's publishers, particularly the Macmillan Company. Much of his correspondence concerning specific literary works has been placed in the Speech, Article, and Book File. Among prominent individuals who are represented by numerous letters are John Jay Chapman, Joseph H. Coit, Horace Howard Furness, Mark Antony DeWolfe Howe, Jean

    Many Voices, One Nation Booklist Many Voices, One Nation began as an initiative of past American Library Association President Carol Brey-Casiano. In 2005 ALA Chapters, Ethnic Caucuses, and other ALA groups were asked to contribute annotated book selections that best represent the uniqueness, diversity, and/or heritage of their state, region or group. Selections are featured for children, young adults, and adults. The list is a sampling that showcases the diverse voices that exist in our nation and its literature. A Alabama Library Association Title: Send Me Down a Miracle Author: Han Nolan Publisher: San Diego: Harcourt Brace Date of Publication: 1996 ISBN#: [X] Young Adults Annotation: Adrienne Dabney, a flamboyant New York City artist, returns to Casper, Alabama, the sleepy, God-fearing town of her birth, to conduct an artistic experiment. Her big-city ways and artsy ideas aren't exactly embraced by the locals, but it's her claim of having had a vision of Jesus that splits the community. Deeply affected is fourteen- year-old Charity Pittman, daughter of a local preacher. Reverend Pittman thinks Adrienne is the devil incarnate while Charity thinks she's wonderful. Believer is pitted against nonbeliever and Charity finds herself caught in the middle, questioning her father, her religion, and herself.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Film Preservation Program Are "Cimarron,"
    "7 NO. 5 The Museum of Modern Art FOR RELEASE JANUARY 14 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 955-6100 Cable: Modernart EARLY FILMS TO BE REVIVED AT MUSEUM "The Virginian," Cecil B. DeMllle's 1914 classic, from the novel by Owen Wlster, with Dustin Famun who played in the stage version, will be shown as part of a series of eleven early films to be presented from January 14 through January 25, at The Museum of Modern Art. The Jesse Lasky production of "The Virginian" will be introduced by James Card, Curator of the George Eastman House Motion Picture Study Collection in Rochester, which is providing the films on the Museum program. At the eight o'clock, January 14 performance, Mr. Card will introduce the film and address himself to the controversy over the direction of "The Virginian," one of the early silent feature films. The fact that Cecil B. DeMille directed has been in dispute over the years. On the same program with "The Virginian," another vintage film will be shown. Tod Browning's "The Unknown" starring Lon Chaney. Made in 1927, it was an original story by the director, called "Alonzo, the Armless." According to The New York Times Film Reviews, a recently published compilation of the paper's film criticism, "the role ought to have satisfied Mr. Chaney's penchant for freakish characterizations for here he not only has to go about for hours with his arms strapped to his body, but when he rests behind bolted doors, one perceives that he has on his left hand a double thumb." Joan Crawford plays the female lead in the film, about which Roy Edwards writes in Sight and Sound, the characters and special effects add up to a "thorough display of grotesqueries." Other notable films that are part of this film preservation program are "Cimarron," starring Richard Dix and made in 1931 from Edna Ferber's popular novel; "Dr.

  • Metuchen the Brainy Borough
    METUCHEN THE BRAINY BOROUGH Compiled by the Metuchen Historic Preservation Committee Metuchen The Brainy Borough Compiled by the Metuchen historic preservation committee The Metuchen Historic Preservation Committee was formed in January 2008 to advise the Mayor and Council on steps to strengthen Metuchen’s commitment to historic preservation. The Committee’s goals are to develop public education on the benefits of historic preservation, honor Metuchen’s historic resources by increasing the number of structures in town listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places, and explore the development of a Metuchen Historic Preservation Ordinance to formally recognize and protect the town’s distinctive historic and architectural character. The Historic Preservation Committee Suzanne Andrews Lori Chambers Michele Clancy Richard Miller Tyreen Reuter, Chair Rebeccah Seely Richard Weber Nancy Zerbe Jay Muldoon, Council Liaison June, 2015. All Rights Reserved. Metuchen, New Jersey. Introduction For several years, the Metuchen Historic Preservation Committee — with the assistance of grants from the Middlesex County Cultural and Heritage Commission — has studied Metuchen’s history and historic neighborhoods to evaluate the potential for one or more historic districts. These studies have resulted in additional historical information, especially related to one important theme: Metuchen’s reputation as “the Brainy Borough.” Local historians were aware of the 1914-1915 newspaper “battle” between Metuchen and Glen Ridge as to which town deserved the title; however, there were no extant copies of the Metuchen Recorder newspaper that over the extended period of the battle carried each town’s submissions of prominent residents who would warrant their hometown being considered “brainy.” The Committee’s recent studies have not only added to the general knowledge of the battle; they resulted in a significant research find: much of Metuchen’s reporting on the subject was also reprinted in Bloomfield’s Independent Press,* available at the Bloomfield Public Library.

    VolumeXXIv] [Number 3 ~tntritau~i~tgtital Ituitur THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION, I9I9 EMBERS of the American Historical Association expect to M find at the beginning of the April number of this journal an account of the transactions of the annual meeting of the Associa­ tion, customarily held in the last days of December preceding, and with it certain items of formal matter relating to the meeting, such as the text of important votes passed by the Association or the Executive Council, a summary of the treasur~r's report, an exhibit of the budget or estimated receipts and expenditures or appropria­ tions, and a list of the officers of the Association and of the various committees appointed by the Executive Council. The thirty-fourth annual meeting, which was to have taken place at Cleveland on December 27 and 28, was indefinitely postponed on' account of a strong recommendation, received from the health officer of that city a few days before the date on which the meeting should have taken place, that it should be omitted because of the epidemic of influenza then prevailing in Cleveland. Yet, though there is no annual meeting to chronicle in these pages, it will be convenient to members that the formal matter spoken of above should be found in its customary place. Moreover, though no meeting of the Asso­ ciation has taken place, there was a meeting of the Executive Council held in New York on January 31 and February I, 1919, some of the transactions of which, analogous to those of the Asso­ ciation in its annual business meeting, may here for convenience be described.

  • The Chisholm Trail
    From the poem “Cattle” by Berta Hart Nance In the decades following the Civil War, more than 6 million cattle—up to 10 million by some accounts—were herded out of Texas in one of the greatest migrations of animals ever known. These 19th-century cattle drives laid the foundation for Texas’ wildly successful cattle industry and helped elevate the state out of post-Civil War despair and poverty. Today, our search for an American identity often leads us back to the vision of the rugged and independent men and women of the cattle drive era. Although a number of cattle drive routes existed during this period, none captured the popular imagination like the one we know today as the Chisholm Trail. Through songs, stories, and mythical tales, the Chisholm Trail has become a vital feature of American identity. Historians have long debated aspects of the Chisholm Trail’s history, including the exact route and even its name. Although they may argue over specifics, most would agree that the decades of the cattle drives were among the most colorful periods of Texas history. The purpose of this guide is not to resolve debates, but rather to help heritage tourists explore the history and lore associated with the legendary cattle-driving route. We hope you find the historical disputes part of the intrigue, and are inspired to investigate the historic sites, museums, and attractions highlighted here to reach your own conclusions. 1835-36 The Texas Revolution 1845 The United States annexes Texas as the 28th state 1861-65 The American Civil War 1867 Joseph G.

So with the First Citi­ zeness of South Berwick: the evanescent flesh is remote now, but the inextinguishable spirit lives on. THE LETTERS OF SARAH ORNE JEWETT By JOHN ELDRIDGE FROST THE ever-growing volume of Miss Jewett's letters in print has made desirable a survey both of those which have been printed and of those in manuscript form in libraries. It is neither possible nor desirable to list those owned by individuals for this would constitute an invasion of the collector's privacy or, worse still, a breach of manners toward Miss Jewett's friends and their heirs. It is interesting to note that plans have already been nlade for the eventual disposal to libraries of all letters privately owned that I have viewed. Miss Jewett was a warm, vivid, stinlulating person whose genius often flowed into her correspondence. An astonishingly large amount of it was saved by those who knew her. She was an avid correspondent who frequently devoted an entire morn­ ing to the writing of letters.

URL: http://www.h-net.org/~diplo/essays/PDF/Keylor-Young.pdf Reviewed for H-Diplo by William R. Keylor, Boston University ver the past several decades two genres of historical writing have been relegated to O the margins of the discipline by the powers-that-be in the profession. The first is biography, dismissed by many as an obsolete relic of an earlier era of historical scholarship when the personal story of an individual was considered a useful means of comprehending the past. The second is diplomatic history, in the narrowest sense of that term, which addresses the thoughts and activities of a government’s official representatives abroad. Robert Young, the author of earlier studies of French foreign and defense policies, has unapologetically chosen to buck this trend. He takes as the subject of his latest book the life and career of Jean-Jules Jusserand, a diplomat who represented France in the United States from 1904 to 1925. Apart from specialists in the history of Franco-American relations during this period, it is unlikely that many historians have even heard of Jusserand, or that those who recognize the name have more than a vague knowledge of his role in representing French interests in 1 | P a g e H-Diplo Review Essay Washington.
