  • Philadelphia and the Southern Elite: Class, Kinship, and Culture in Antebellum America
    PHILADELPHIA AND THE SOUTHERN ELITE: CLASS, KINSHIP, AND CULTURE IN ANTEBELLUM AMERICA BY DANIEL KILBRIDE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1997 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In seeing this dissertation to completion I have accumulated a host of debts and obligation it is now my privilege to acknowledge. In Philadelphia I must thank the staff of the American Philosophical Society library for patiently walking out box after box of Society archives and miscellaneous manuscripts. In particular I must thank Beth Carroll- Horrocks and Rita Dockery in the manuscript room. Roy Goodman in the Library’s reference room provided invaluable assistance in tracking down secondary material and biographical information. Roy is also a matchless authority on college football nicknames. From the Society’s historian, Whitfield Bell, Jr., I received encouragement, suggestions, and great leads. At the Library Company of Philadelphia, Jim Green and Phil Lapansky deserve special thanks for the suggestions and support. Most of the research for this study took place in southern archives where the region’s traditions of hospitality still live on. The staff of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History provided cheerful assistance in my first stages of manuscript research. The staffs of the Filson Club Historical Library in Louisville and the Special Collections room at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond were also accommodating. Special thanks go out to the men and women at the three repositories at which the bulk of my research was conducted: the Special Collections Library at Duke University, the Southern Historical Collection of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the Virginia Historical Society.

T ASKS A SSOCIATED W ITH R ESTORATION A CTIVITIES 4.A.1. Introduction The project to prepare a natural lands restoration master plan for Fairmount (East/West) Park began in October 1997. Numerous site visits were conducted in Fairmount (East/West) Park with the Fairmount Park Commission (FPC) District #1 Manager and staff, community members, Natural Lands Restoration and Environmental Education Program (NLREEP) staff and Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (ANSP) staff. Informal meetings at the Park’s district office were held to solicit information and opinions from district staff. Additionally, ANSP participated in the NLREEP Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meetings in March and October 1998. These meetings were used to solicit ideas and develop contacts with other environmental scientists and land managers. A meeting was also held with ANSP, NLREEP and FPC engineering staff to discuss completed and planned projects in or affecting natural lands in Fairmount (East/West) Park. A variety of informal contacts, such as speaking at meetings of Friends groups and other clubs, and discussions during field visits provided additional input. ANSP, NLREEP and the Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) set up a program of quarterly meetings to discuss various issues of joint interest. These meetings are valuable in obtaining information useful in planning restoration and in developing concepts for cooperative programs. As a result of these meetings, PWD staff reviewed the list of priority stream restoration sites proposed for Fairmount (East/West) Park.
