Smallwood, Professor Emeritus of History at Oklahoma State University, died November 25, 2013, at his home in Gainesville, Texas. He was 69. In 1965, Kenneth Stampp wrote in the introduction to his The Era of Reconstruction, 1865-1877 that '1\ half century ago, most historians were extremely critical ofthe reconstruction measures that congressional Republicans forced upon the defeated South. They used terms such as 'military despotism: 'federal tyranny: 'Negro rule: and 1\fricanization' to describe what white Southerners were forced to endure.... Yet, during the past generation, historians have written numerous books and articles which demonstrate that many ofthe popular notions about the era of reconstruction are distorted or untrue." James M. Smallwood was among those early revisionist scholars who labored to correct the historical record ofthe Reconstruction era. Focusing primarily on African American experiences in post-Civil War Texas, Smallwood's most enduring contribution to Reconstruction historiography was his Time of Hope, Time ofDespair: Black Texans during Reconstruction, published in 1981. This work was instrumental in highlighting African Americans struggles and achievements during the Reconstruction years. The Texas State Historical Association recognized the importance ofthis work by awarding it the prestigious Coral H. Tullis Award in 1982 for best book of the year on Texas history. 9 Volume 52 Later in his career, Smallwood published three books that focused on Reconstruction violence in Texas. Published in 2003, Murder and Mayhem: The War of Reconstruction in Texas, written with co-authors Barry A. Crouch and Larry Peacock, placed the infamous Lee-Peacock feud in the historical context ofa continued Civil War in Northeast Texas. This work revealed that the terrorist groups preying on blacks and their white allies in North Texas were able to operate in the shadows of the South's Lost Cause. In 2007, Smallwood with co-authors Kenneth Howell and Carol Taylor published The Devil's Triangle: Ben Bickerstaff, Northeast Texans, and the War of Reconstruction in Texas. Smallwood and his co-authors were able to expand upon the ideas first presented in Murder and Mayhem by focusing on the terrorist groups associated with Ben Bickerstaff, the notorious Texas outlaw responsible for the death of numerous African Americans, Republican sympathizers, and federal troops stationed in the northern part ofthe state. Both books have led to new interpretations of Reconstruction violence in Texas and a better understanding ofthe plight ofblacks and whites who supported the federal government's attempt to bring social and political change to the Lone Star State. Finally, in 2008, Smallwood published The Feud That Wasn't: The Taylor Ring, Bill Sutton, John Wesley Hardin, and Violence in Texas. This work placed the so-called Taylor-Sutton feud in the context ofthe Reconstruction era, concluding that the same patterns of violence found in the northern part ofthe state were also present in South Texas. The importance ofthis work was evident in the accolades that it garnered, including the East Texas Historical Associations Otis Lock Award for the Best Book ofthe Year (2008), the Texas Institute ofLetter's Best Scholarly Book Award (2008), and the Texas State Historical Association's Coral H. Tullis Award (2008). Smallwood remains the only scholar to win the Coral H. Tullis Award twice in the 45-year history ofthe award. In 2008, he was also inducted as a member into the Texas Institute of Letters. Aside from his these books, Smallwood wrote numerous articles and delivered a multitude oflectures on the Reconstruction era, focusing primarily on African American experiences and violence in Texas during these tumultuous years. In addition to his work on Reconstruction Texas and African American history, Smallwood published on a broad range oftopics related to United States history. During his early years at Oklahoma State University, he authored or edited more than ten volumes on Oklahoma history, 10 Spring 2014 including several publications on the famous humorist Will Rogers. Additionally, Smallwood wrote several local and county histories, including his highly acclaimed two volume study ofSmith County titled Born in Dixie: The history ofSmith County, Texas (1999). Born in Dixie continues to set the standard for the way county histories should be written. He was also a contributor to the Texas history textbook, Beyond Myth and Legends: A Narrative History ofTexas (2008). Moreover, Smallwood published books and articles on Native Americans in Texas, FDR's New Deal program, Lyndon B. Johnson political career, and a full-length biography ofVirginia Durr, a noted twentieth-century liberal reformer from Alabama. In sum, Smallwood leaves behind an impressive array ofpublication that will continue to influence students ofAmerican and Texas history for many decades to come. James Milton Smallwood was born on July 10,1944, in Terrell, Texas. His formative years were spent in Terrell, where he became a local sports legend, excelling in football and baseball. After leaving Terrell High School, Smallwood attended Henderson County Community College (now known as Trinity Valley Community College),

  • Decision at Fort Sumter
    -·-~• .}:}· ~- ·-.:: • r. • • i DECISION AT FORT SUMTER Prologue In 1846 Congressman JeffeLson Davis of Mississippi presented to the House of Representatives a resolution calling for the replace- ment of Federal troops in all coastal forts by state militia. The proposal died in committee and shortly thereafter Davis resigned from Congress to lead the red-shirted First Mississippi Rifles to war and (~~-ll glory in Mexico. Now it was the morning of April 10, 1861, and Davis was President of the newly proclaimed Confederate States of America. As he met with his cabinet in a Montgomery, Alabama hotel room he had good reason to regret the failure of that resolution of fifteen years ago. For had it passed, he would not have had to make the decision he was about to make: Order Brigadier General P. G. T. Beauregard, commander of Confederate forces at Charleston, South Carolina to demand the surrender of the Federal garrison on Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor. But before Davis made this decision, other men had made other decisions -- decisions which formed a trail leading to that Montgomery hotel room on the morning of April 10, 1861. The War Department'~cision In a sense the first of those decisions went back to 1829 when the War Department dumped tons of granite rubble brougi1t from New England on a c.andspit at the mouth of Charleston harbor. On the foundation so formed a fort named after the South Carolina r - 2 - Revolutionary War hero, Thomas Sumter, was built. However it was built very slowly, as Congress appropriated the needed money in driblets.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

Committee Member Chai the Department^History Dean of Vhe Graduate School Ledbetter, Billy D., Slavery, Fear, and Disunion in the Lone Star State: Texans' Attitudes toward Secession and the Union, 1846-1861. Doctor of Philosophy (History), August, 1972. 315 pp., 4 figures, appendix, bibliography, 388 titles. This work is a study of white Texans' attitudes toward their role in the federal Union and their right to secede from it during the antebellum period. The central question of the study is why did people so strongly Unionist in 1846 became so strongly secessionist by 1861. In tracing this significant shift in Texans' sentiment, the author especially emphasizes the racial attitudes of white Texans, their emotional defense of the institution of slavery, and their strong conviction that the Negroes, if emancipated, would destroy white society. Of special importance to this study is the relationship of Texans' racial attitudes to their attitudes toward the Union. Since few secondary sources are available for this period of Texas history, research was done almost entirely in primary sources. Of utmost importance to the work were Texas newspapers. While having some influence on public opinion, the papers generally tended to reflect, rather than formulate, Texans' attitudes. Personal papers, especially letters, were also valuable in this undertaking. Papers of numerous individuals of the period are available at the University of Texas Library, in the Texas State Library at Austin, and in the Rosenberg Library in Galveston.

  • The American Indian in the American Film
    THE AMERICAN INDIAN IN THE AMERICAN FILM Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in American Studies in the University of Canterbury by Michael J. Brathwaite 1981 ABSTRACT This thesis is a chronological examination of the ways in which American Indians have been portrayed in American 1 f.ilms and the factors influencing these portrayals. B eginning with the literary precedents, the effects of three wars and other social upheavals and changes are considered. In addition t-0 being the first objective detailed examination of the subj�ct in English, it is the first work to cover the last decade. It concludes that because of psychological factors it is unlikely that film-makers are - capable of advancing far beyond the basic stereotypes, and that the failure of Indians to appreciate this has repeatedly caused ill-feeling between themselves and the film-makers, making the latter abandon their attempts at a fair treatment of the Indians. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface iii Chapter I: The Background of the Problem c.1630 to c.1900. 1 Chapter II: The Birth of the Cinema and Its Aftermath: 1889 to 1939. 21 Chapter III: World War II and Its Effects: 1940 to 1955. 42 Chapter IV: Assimilation of Separatism?: 1953 to 1965. 65 Chapter V: The Accuracy Question. 80 Chapter VI: Catch-22: 1965 to 1972. 105 Chapter VII: Back to the Beginning: 1973 to 1981. 136 Chapter VIII: Conclusion. 153 Bibliography 156 iii PREFACE The aim of this the.sis is to examine the ways in which the American Indians have been portrayed in American films, the influences on their portrayals, and whether or not they have changed.

It is black-letter law that the federal government has the power to take land through eminent domain. This modern understanding, however, is a complete departure from the Constitution’s historical meaning. From the Founding until the Civil War, the federal government was thought to have an eminent domain power only within the District of Columbia and the territories—but not within states. Politicians and judges (including in two Supreme Court decisions) repeatedly denied the existence of such a power, and when the federal government did need to take land, it relied on state cooperation to do so. People during this period refused to infer a federal eminent domain power from Congress’s enumerated powers or the Necessary and Proper Clause because they viewed it as a “great power”—one that was too important to be left to implication. And they refused to infer it from the Takings Clause either, because the Clause was not intended to expand Congress's power beyond the District and territories.
