Index to the Memphis Eagle 1846-1850, April 22 & May 15, 1851 Compiled by Joyce McKibben University of Memphis Libraries 2015 The Memphis Eagle was founded in 1842 as a weekly Whig paper known as the American Eagle. Its chief rival was the Democratic-leaning Memphis Appeal. In late 1842 the paper began putting out a daily paper, the Memphis Eagle, while continuing the weekly American Eagle. The weekly paper was a compilation of articles that appeared in the daily paper. For that reason, I switched over to indexing articles in the daily Memphis Eagle in 1846. In late 1851 the Eagle merged with the Memphis Enquirer to become the Memphis Eagle-Enquirer. We have the following issues on microfilm in the University of Memphis Libraries: American Eagle 1842-1848 Memphis Eagle (daily) 1846-1850 April 22 & May 15, 1851 Memphis Eagle Enquirer (daily) January-June 1852 January-June 1853 July 27, 1855 March 7, 1856 Notes: 1.An entry cited as: August 28, 1836, 2:4 can be found on August 28, 1836, page 2, column 4.

    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.

Plus: Our Lincoln Triumphs Photography by Don Ament Extraordinary Kentuckians—Famous, and Not Dear Friends, On pages 34-35 of this issue of Kentucky Humanities, you’ll see a report on Our Lincoln, the musical and dramatic extravaganza we presented in February to mark the beginning of Kentucky’s celebration of Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday. Forgive our immodesty, but we think it was terrific, and a sold-out house at the Singletary Center for the Arts in Lexington seemed to agree. Lincoln, Kentucky’s greatest son, is the most written-about American who ever lived. His greatness is unquestioned, and it’s appropriate for the Council and the Commonwealth to go all out for his bicentennial on February 12, 2009. Over the next two years, we will try to help Kentuckians gain a deeper understanding of Lincoln and his legacy—Lin- coln project grants, Chautauqua performances in communities and schools, and special publications are some of the ways we’ll do it. But if the list of extraordinary Kentuckians begins with Lincoln, it hardly ends with him. In this issue of our magazine, you’ll meet a worthy but largely forgotten member of the extraordinary Kentuckians club—a compelling “unknown” named Eliza Calvert Hall.

One of the best examples is Anna Mac Clarke, who made history in the mil- itary.This memorable young woman grew up in Lawrenceburg and graduated from Kentucky State College in 1941. Rejecting domestic work—the only job a black col- lege graduate could get in Lawrenceburg in those days—she packed up and moved to New York to work at a Girl Scout Camp. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941, she recalled the words of her commencement speaker at Kentucky State a few months before. The great edu- cator Mary McCloud Bethune had told the graduates, “We must not fail America, and as Americans, we must insist that America not fail us.” Lt.

    The Devil's Backbone: Race, Space, and Nation-Building on the Natchez

    The Devil’s Backbone: Race, Space, and Nation-Building on the Natchez Trace A thesis, submitted by Mary Kathryn Menck In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of the Arts In History and Museum Studies Tufts University May 2017 Adviser: Kendra Field i ABSTRACT Beginning in Nashville, Tennessee and terminating 444 miles south in Natchez, Mississippi, the Natchez Trace began its existence as a Choctaw and Chickasaw footpath. As white settlers poured into modern-day Mississippi in the late 18 th and early 19 th centuries, the United States sought inroads into these vital American Indian lands for new settlements, mail routes, and other aspects of “civilization”. With them, these settlers—and oftentimes, slave-traders—brought enslaved, black men and women to Mississippi. It was this movement which instigated the Trace’s transformation from “pathway” to “road”, and signaled its importance as contested territory. Conflicts of race, land commodification, commerce, and slavery played out in the interactions along its length. Through studying the Natchez Trace as an aspect of early American nation building, it is possible to isolate its role in the triangulation of wealth, race, and expansion which would become indicative of the wider patterns of the formation of early America. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In writing this thesis, I relied upon the aid and good will of numerous academics and archivists without whom I would have been unable to complete my work. In particular, Christina Smith at the Natchez Trace Parkway Archives in Tupelo provided significant research assistance, as well as fantastic suggestions for my visit to Mississippi.
