Few ask what local elected officials know of urban planning or other complicated public affairs. Yet, that is a question that voters should ponder before entering a voting booth and making Est. 1996 a choice. Est. 1996 The current collection of elected city officials are who the voters chose to make long and short term plans and that is perhaps the most important element of the job that a local elected officials execute. One example of when local Real Journalism For A Real Democracy planning was lacking occurred when a property owner offered a commercial building to the city for $1.

  • Illinois Historical Markers of Dekalb County
    Illinois Historical Markers of DeKalb County Three self-guided driving tours This tour booklet is made possible by a generous grant from The Douglas C. and Lynn M. Roberts Family Foundation. © 2018 DeKalb Area Agricultural Heritage Association, Inc. Layout, production and printing provided by Marcia Thompson, Graphic Matters. Introduction DeKalb County is a region rich in creativity, innovation and historical significance. This booklet provides information for three self-guided driving tours of the historical markers within the county that mark significant events. These tours focus on historical markers that commemorate an event or person of significant historical interest, differing from the National Register of Historic Places that recognizes significant buildings. The historical markers have been divided into three tours based on geographic location of the markers. The location of each marker is shown on a map at the beginning of each tour. This tour booklet is provided free of charge through generous grant support from the Douglas C. and Lynn M. Roberts Family Foundation. The content of “Historical Markers of DeKalb County” is possible through the contributions of Sue Breese, DeKalb County Historian, and the Joiner History Room, who provid- ed historical pictures and information for many of the markers. Modern photo- graphs were taken by photographer Bob Myers, Hawk Aerial Imagery, who also developed the maps for each tour. Marcia Wilson provided crucial proofreading assistance. Their participation in creating this tour booklet is invaluable. Special thanks to the many people who were part of organizing and developing the markers and recognizing the historical significance that we can admire today.

  • 'O'er Mountains and Rivers': Community and Commerce
    MCCARTNEY, SARAH ELLEN, Ph.D. ‘O’er Mountains and Rivers’: Community and Commerce in the Greenbrier Valley in the Late Eighteenth Century. (2018) Directed by Dr. Greg O’Brien. 464 pp. In the eighteenth-century Greenbrier River Valley of present-day West Virginia, identity was based on a connection to “place” and the shared experiences of settlement, commerce, and warfare as settlers embraced an identity as Greenbrier residents, Virginians, and Americans. In this dissertation, I consider the Greenbrier Valley as an early American place participating in and experiencing events and practices that took place throughout the American colonies and the Atlantic World, while simultaneously becoming a discrete community and place where these experiences formed a unique Greenbrier identity. My project is the first study of the Greenbrier Valley to situate the region temporally within the revolutionary era and geographically within the Atlantic World. For many decades Greenbrier Valley communities were at the western edge of Virginia’s backcountry settlements in what was often an “ambiguous zone” of European control and settlers moved in and out of the region with the ebb and flow of frontier violence. Settlers arriving in the region came by way of the Shenandoah Valley where they traveled along the Great Wagon Road before crossing into the Greenbrier region through the mountain passes and rivers cutting across the Allegheny Mountains. Without a courthouse or church, which were the typical elements of community in eighteenth- century Virginia society, until after the American Revolution, Greenbrier settlers forged the bonds of their community through other avenues, including the shared hardships of the settlement experience.

A Study in Contextual Analysis _____________ A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Anthropology The College of William and Mary in Virginia In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts _____________ by Charles Thomas Chapman 2005 DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to all those who have come before us, who have created our ideas, our thoughts, our lives, our words, and our stories, and to all those who will follow and recreate what we have done. Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? One generation passesth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
