It reflects our continuing effort to encourage education in the humanities, to promote scholarly research, and to support programs that reach a wide public audience. In addition to funding thousands of excellent projects in 1989, the NEH also issued a special report, 50 Hours: A Core Curriculum for College Students. The purpose of this report was to call attention to the need for rigorous and coherent programs of general education in our nation's colleges and universities. A core of learning not only provides students oppor- tunities to explore the major fields of human inquiry, we rioted, it also encourages commu- nity. Having some learning in common draws students togethe.and faculty members as well. When that common learning engages students with their democratic heritage, it invites informed participation in our ongoing national conversation about the goals and values appropriate to a free people. In 1989, we announ--A a new program of Distinguished Teaching Professorships. These special challenge grants will help colleges and universities establish faculty chairs for distinguished teachers in history, literature, philosophy, and other humanities disciplines; morethan 100 colleges and universities have already responded. We also made the first awards in the NEH/Reader's Digest Teacher-Scholar Program, which underwrites a year of independent study for an outstanding elementary or secondary teacher from each of the fifty states, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. We also endeavored to make the words and wisdom of the humanities available to peo- ple in every part of the nation from small towns and rural communities to the largest cities. Two-handled silver We funded projects for the Araerican public that range from a liorary discussion on Mark cup, ca. 1744, by Twain to a conference on Schubert's music, to a television program on the Japanese- American silver- American experience in World War II.

  • Doris Kearns Goodwin
    Connecting You with the World's Greatest Minds Doris Kearns Goodwin Doris Kearns Goodwin is a world-renowned presidential historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Goodwin is the author of six critically acclaimed and New York Times best-selling books, including her most recent, The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism (November, 2013). Winner of the Carnegie Medal, The Bully Pulpit is a dynamic history of the first decade of the Progressive era, that tumultuous time when the nation was coming unseamed and reform was in the air. Steven Spielberg’s DreamWorks Studios has acquired the film and television rights to the book. Spielberg and Goodwin previously worked together on Lincoln, based in part on Goodwin’s award-winning Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, an epic tome that illuminates Lincoln's political genius, as the one-term congressman and prairie lawyer rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals of national reputation to become president. Team of Rivals was awarded the prestigious Lincoln Prize, the inaugural Book Prize for American History, and Goodwin in 2016 was the first historian to receive the Lincoln Leadership Prize from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation. The film Lincoln grossed $275 million at the box office and earned 12 Academy Award® nominations, including an Academy Award for actor Daniel Day-Lewis for his portrayal of President Abraham Lincoln. Goodwin was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in history for No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II, and is the author of the best sellers Wait Till Next Year, Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream and The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys, which was adapted into an award-winning five-part TV miniseries.

The Legacy Press www.thelegacypress.com 1 of 50 The Enterprising S. H. Goetzel: Antebellum and Civil War Publisher in Mobile, Alabama Cathleen A. 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.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: RACE, RELIGION, and CLASS: THE
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: RACE, RELIGION, AND CLASS: THE THOUGHT OF REVEREND GEORGE FREEMAN BRAGG, JR., Stanley Jenkins Jr., Master of Arts, March 2019 Thesis Chair: Debra N. Ham, Ph.D. Department of History George Freeman Bragg (1863-1940) was a black Episcopal priest and civil rights activist during the Progressive Era in America. He was also a brilliant yet complicated man whose thoughts and opinions were in tension with one another. Bragg’s writings are not one dimensional and lend themselves to various interpretations. Hence, it is possible to view him as either an accommodationist, a man imbued with a racial consciousness or an unwieldy blend of both. However, much of the available literature on Bragg presents a one-dimensional portrait of him. Celebrating his many civil rights struggles, these portraits ignore the sometimes contradictory and complex nature of his thought. Indeed, Bragg bears witness to historian Wilson J. Moses’s contention that all serious prolonged thinking eventually results in contradiction. Hence, the following thesis will critically examine the writings of Bragg in an effort to flesh out the complex character of his thought. It will also attempt to provide a workable explanation to explain the same. The writings of Bragg were not the only sources used to examine his thought. The works of historians Wilson J. Moses, Kevin K. Gaines, and Evelyn Higginbotham that focused on black elites, racial uplift ideology, and classism were indispensable to this study. Notwithstanding, there were a plethora of primary and secondary sources that undergirded this study and helped to socially contextualize and interrogate Bragg’s complex thought.

  • 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.
