I have accomplished this work by your gracious help and inter¬ est. Every day you have made life sweeter, better and more useful to me, as I have recorded chapter after chapter of the ancestral records of your royal blood and I shall ever be satisfied with your grateful benediction on this labor of love. Happier still, if as the years pass on 1 may be permitted to pursue this mighty task and give to history many more volumes of the great and noble women of my country, the land which has ever been “peo¬ pled with the dream fabric” of a nation whose civilization has up¬ lifted the world in song and story of heroic and chivalrous manhood and gentle, cultured and queenly womanhood. Yes. the South will ever have a charm that holds the golden chapter in American history that no other nation can claim. For ‘ the indestructible kingdom of the land of twilight dreams” still lives, and but for the blood royal of the ancient line that still ripples in the heroic strain of her children today I would find no inspiration for them to fill the pages of my ‘Representative Women of the South.” MRS. NELLIE PEARL NEAL (Sketch on pages 118, 119) * \ REPRESENTATIVE WOMEN OF THE SOUTH 15 MRS. BRYAN WELLS COLLIER By MARY HILLIARD HINTON. It can be stated with absolute truth that the greatest asset of the South of yesterday was her daughters. Upon their shoulders de¬ volved duties that seemed beyond their strength which they accepted with ease. After the Republic was firmly established a calm pervaded the Southern home that can be likened only to the sweet expectant rest of the Beyond, of which it was a harbinger because the vir¬ tues that moulded that home were founded upon the spiritual, not the material. A new era has succeeded that age and different standards, or lack of standards, are found throughout the land. What is the lesult? The homes are endangered—a spirit of restlessness is world¬ wide, and calm is relegated to the dictionary, Arctic wastes and Tropical jungles. Where are we drifting? How will future genera¬ tions battle with the temptations? As a balm—a panacea—has come from the pen of one of the South’s most realistic interpreters a monumental gift, inspired by the best that has been becpieathed to us of the past, that must leave its impress upon the future. This work has been the outburst of a soul who loves the workers of today as well as those of yesterday and holds a fair vision for the children of the future of the land that is dear to the heart of Margaret Wootten Collier. No one can express this love so forcefully as did the late la¬ mented Lollie Belle Wylie in 1922 in THE CONFEDERATE VET¬ ERAN: “It was said of Queen Elizabeth that the secret of her power was that the impulses she had were impulses common to the English people. Her purposes were their purposes. So we know Mrs. Collier loves the South. No one can come in touch with her and not feel this loyal love. She knows her people and be¬ lieves that in no other country are the women like the Southern women. This is the inspiration of her work.” And again the tribute from Georgia’s brilliant historian, Dr. Lu¬ cian Lamar Knight, reveals the secret of the success of “Representa¬ tive Women of the South”: “Only one in spirit akin to these, one of the very elect num¬ ber, could hazard such an undertaking. Blit Mrs. Collier is of the South. Its gentlest aristocracy is in her veins, and she brings to her sacred task a heart of tenderness, filled with all its mem¬ ories and dowered by all its muses. It has long been her dream to produce something truly worth while for the South, and the publication of this work is a worthy ambition realized, and a splendid dream fulfilled. The author is to be congratulated, first on the magnificent vision in which such a work had its genesis; and in the second place on the artistic manner in which she 16 REPRESENTATIVE WOMEN OF THE SOUTH has performed her task and brought a task so colossal to com¬ pletion. It is not only a finished product but a flower of genius.” From the emigrant ancester, Richard Wootten, who received a grant of land in Warwick County. Virginia, August 30, 1647, to John Fletcher Wootten of Wilkes County. Georgia, there is an unbroken line, which went from the Old Dominion to North Carolina, then to Georgia He married Margaret Marion Hendrix. Their youngest daughter, Margaret, was horn December 9, 1869. Losing her mother six years later, her father became her most beloved companion, and he moulded her character, instilling into her soul those lofty ideals and inspirations which have borne the rare fruit of maturer years. In Dr. Wootten was found all the charm of a gentleman of the old school—knightly, cultured, brilliant—a gifted writer, an eloquent speaker, naturally he was a delightful conversa¬ tionalist. Patriotism is a virtue Mrs. Collier inherited from her father, a brave patriot himself, who served as surgeon throughout the War between the States. This home was the center of a generous hospitality. Dr. Wootten numbered among his friends persons of equal culture and charm, who would drive long distances to spend an evening by his welcoming fireside, basking in the warmth of his genial companionship.

  • Henry Tutwiler, Alva Woods, and the Problem Of
    SOUTHERN HONOR AND NORTHERN PIETY: HENRY TUTWILER, ALVA WOODS, AND THE PROBLEM OF DISCIPLINE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA, 1831-1837 by KEVIN LEE WINDHAM A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Educational Leadership, Policy, and Technology Studies in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2010 Copyright Kevin Lee Windham 2010 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The University of Alabama opened its doors in April 1831, and over the next six years, the first president, Alva Woods, was confronted by numerous episodes of student misdeeds. Knife fights, dueling, shootings, slave baiting, hazing, the torture of animals, and the destruction of property were common events on campus. Woods—a Baptist minister from Vermont—was never able to end the troubles; in fact, student defiance ultimately led to mass resignations by the faculty and the installation of a new president. However, the traditional reading of Woods’ tenure at Alabama has not taken into account deeper issues. At the heart of Woods’ difficulty was a contest for discipline. He came to Tuscaloosa determined to establish a religiously orthodox vision of virtuous conduct for the future leaders of Alabama. Woods himself was the product of New England’s theological schism between Calvinism and Unitarianism. At that time he was mentored by his uncle Leonard Woods, who instilled in him a challenge to counter the spread of liberal theology by teaching the ethics of Christian piety. This was the charge that he pursued first at Columbian College, then as interim president of Brown University, as president of Transylvania University, and finally at Alabama.

  • Atlanta Writers Club Centennial Anniversary (1914-2014)
    Atlanta Writers Club Centennial Anniversary (1914-2014) Edited by AWC Presidents: Valerie Connors Adrian Drost George Weinstein PREFACE One hundred years ago, Charlie Chaplin made his film debut, the protection of copyright was established, the US Federal Reserve Bank opened for business, and a Serbian nationalist assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife in Sarajevo, sparking the global cataclysm of the Great War. In the Carnegie Library in Atlanta that same year, a mere fifty years after Sherman and his troops incinerated the city, a small group of writers and editors gathered to establish a social club for the advancement of literature and promotion of the written word. They decided to call themselves the Atlanta Writers Club and elected to be an elite society with membership by invitation only. Prominent representatives of the turn-of-the-century literati were asked by members to address their periodic dinners, sumptuous affairs enjoyed in ball gowns and tuxedos, reflecting the dignity of their mission and social standing. Early editors of The Atlanta Journal, The Atlanta Constitution, and The Atlanta Georgian would be counted among their members, as would the first Georgia Poet Laureate, distinguished professors, accomplished journalists, and an array of successful novelists, poets, and playwrights. They banded together to share the camaraderie of their literary fellowship, strengthen their professional connections, and explore avenues for expanding the reach of their publications. For a century this band of men and women committed to the craft of writing would survive wars, a worldwide Depression, social upheavals, economic downturns and recoveries, and vast technological developments.

Georgia Women: Their Lives and Times, Volume 1. Athens: University of Georgia Press, 2009. 392 pp. $69.95 (library), ISBN 978-0-8203-3336-6; $24.95 (paper), ISBN 978-0-8203-3337-3. Reviewed by Amy Benson Brown (Emory University)Published on H-SAWH (October, 2010) Commissioned by Antoinette G. van Zelm New Collection on Georgia Women Covers Broad Territory Georgia Women offers rich essays on eighteen diverse women from the colonial era through the end of World War I. The depth of thought from the contributing scholars equals the complexities of the women they write about, which is no mean feat. These Georgia women come through the pages of history with elbows out--vivid, extraordinarily persistent, deeply flawed, sometimes funny, and uncommonly canny. The choice of Susie King Taylor's resolute face for the cover of this collection signals that this history of Georgia women is not limited to the real-life counterparts of Scarlett O’Hara or the women whose family names grace prominent buildings around the state. Catherine Clinton describes how as a mere fourteen-year-old Susie King Taylor escaped slavery in coastal Georgia and married a soldier in one of the first black Union regiments. She worked in the Union enclave of Port Royal, South Carolina, throughout the Civil War as a nurse, teacher, and laundress. The record of her life survives, as is the case with many of the other women in this collection, because she penned a memoir of her experiences.
