They originally migrated from the Great Lakes region centuries ago and settled in the Southeast, primarily the Carolinas and Georgia. As Europeans appropriated their land, the Cherokee were resettled in the Great Plains, and their official headquarters is now Tahlequah, Oklahoma. This account was recorded by English language folklorists in the 19th century and first published in 1913 by Katharine Berry Judson. 3 How the World Was Made earth was fastened to the sky with four cords, but no one remembers who did this. At first the earth was flat and soft and wet. The animals were anxious to get down, and they sent out different birds to see if it was yet dry, but there was no place to alight; so The earth is a great floating island in a sea of water.

  • 1 Almira S. Burnham (1840-1932)
    1 Almira S. Burnham (1840-1932) At the turn of the twentieth century, when the public reception of visual arts in Bloomington, Illinois could be characterized as “tepid,” or indeed, “positively cold,” and “comparatively few people … [knew] to what extent genuine and meritorious works of art” were produced in the city, there remained a commitment on the part of local artists—largely women—and the media to elevate the appreciation and patronage of painting to levels achieved by music and literature.1 One such artist, Almira S. Burnham (1840-1932) helped shape the figurative landscape for local working painters with her very own prolific and profitable, oil-painted landscapes and still lifes. Almira Sarah Ives was born on November 2, 1840 in Oswego, Kendall County, Illinois to parents Almon and Sarah (Ervin) Ives.2 Almon, Almira’s father, was born in Chautauqua County, New York and was one of the early settlers of Kendall County. He and his family moved to that county around 1834, where and when he engaged in farming.3 However, owing to ill health, Almon gave up farming and turned instead to a career in law. He was one of the first students to attend the Chicago Law School in 1847, and went on to make part of his living a real estate attorney.4 In June 1853, Almon, Sarah, and their nine children moved from Kendall County to Bloomington, where Almira resided for the rest of her life.5 Shortly after the family arrived, Almira’s mother, Sarah, died in 1854. In 1857, Almira’s father married Lucindia Barker.6 It is said, on the account of the early death of their mother, that Almira’s oldest sister Mary “became like a mother to her [eight] brothers and sisters.”7 Almon passed away in 1887 at the age of 72.8 Little else is known about Almira’s youthful experience in Bloomington prior to marrying Captain John H.

  • Raising the Revolutionaries' Banner 1775-1776
    Vol. 4 No. 3_____________________________________________ __July-August-September 2007 Raising the Revolutionaries’ Banner 1775-1776 19th century magic lanternslide depicting SC Patriot Sgt. William Jasper of the 2d South Carolina Continental Line, commanded by Col. William Moultrie, heroically re-raising the battered South Carolina standard over the parapet of the sand and palmetto log Fort Sullivan during the British naval bombardment of June 28-29, 1776. Mike Coker, the South Carolina Historical Society’s image expert, reports that this image is from a lanternslide painted by artists at the C. W. Briggs Company. The title on the slide is: “Sergeant Jasper at Ft. Moultrie, 1776”; it is a transparency, collodion on glass; size 3 1/4 X 4 inches. The Briggs were an American family of lanternists, slide painters and manufacturers. Daniel Briggs started painting and selling slides in 1850. Later the firm became C. (Caspear) W. Briggs and Co. in Philadelphia. Slides were made from stock negatives and colored by hand. (1850-1930s) This slide’s artist is unknown. Image is courtesy of the SCII Regiment. Artist Lucy Brown made a painting of this image in 1975, the original of which hangs in the main offices of the South Carolina Forestry Commission, 5500 Broad River Road, Columbia.
