  • Fort Davy Crockett: Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge (Colorado)
    U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE: REGION 6 - CULTURAL RECOURSE PROGRAM Fort Davy Crockett?: An Archaeological Mystery Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge – Northwest Colorado Summarized from: A Report on the Results of Limited Subsurface Testing at 5MF5478, a Proposed Site of Historic Fort Davy Crockett, Moffat County, Colorado Kristen D. Kent and Mona C. Charles, Department of Anthropology, Fort Lewis College, Durango, Colorado December 2004 Introduction The follow excerpts are from a 2004 report documenting archaeological testing at the possible location of Fort Davy Crocket on the Brown’s Park National Wildlife Refuge. Many studies and much research has been conducted over the years to try and determine if the remains found on a bluff overlooking the Green River on the Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge are indeed those of the Fort. This research adds additional insight into the mystery. Fort Davy Crockett In 1837 three fur trappers, Prewett Sinclair, Philip Thompson, and William Criag, formed a partnership and reportedly built Fort Davy Crockett that same year. The Fort was named after the famous Tennessee frontiersman who died at the Battle of the Alamo in Texas the previous year. Kit Carson, another famous frontiersman, trapper and scout is reported to have been employed by the owners of Fort Davy Crockett. In 1839 members of the Peoria Party on their way to Oregon reported staying at the Fort. A description of the Fort was provided in the recordings of Thomas Jefferson Farnham, leader of the Peoria Party. He described the Fort thus: The fort, as it is called, peered up in the centre, upon the winding banks of the Sheetskadee.

Those who came during the five years before the Mississippi Choctaw Treaty of Doak's Stand (1820) were the first. Many of this group moved to southeast Texas. About eighty other families joined Stephen F. Austin when their land claims north of the Red River were given to the incoming Indians. The second wave of Americans arrived at the American settlements during the next decade, joining relatives and former friends who remained in what was called Miller County, Arkansas Territory. This governmental entity, once a part ofthe large Hempstead County, was after 1828 located south of the Red River, stretching from the Great Bend as far west as civilization expanded, or basically to what is now Fannin County.

  • Disney, the Comic Code, and the Rise of Underground Comix While
    Reimagining the Alamo: Disney, the Comic Code, and the Rise of Underground Comix While the popularity of comic books for children had grown throughout the 1940’s, by 1954 certain factions of American culture were questioning the books’ influence and subject matter. The publication of Frederick Wertham’s The Seduction of the Innocent cemented this anxiety in the minds of parents across the country and in turn brought about the Comic Code Authority, an industry organization overseeing strict rules of decency and morality. Due to the Code, comic books moved away from the crime and violence of earlier stories and towards narratives seen as wholesome family fun. At the same time, Walt Disney was producing the first three episodes of the “Davy Crockett” mini-series for his Walt Disney’s Disneyland television series. Before Elvis and the Beatles, the popularity of Davy Crockett throughout 1955 brought about a new youth culture for Eisenhower’s America. These two developments, the Comic Code and the Crockett Craze, gave rise to a thirty-year series of misinformation presented to American youth. Just as the Code regulated what children were allowed to read, Disney began rewriting history, beaming jingoistic tales of great American heroes into the American living room every Wednesday evening. Within ten years of the Comic Code’s institution, however, the very people who were raised on it began poking subtle holes through its seemingly impregnable armor. By 1964, Jack “Jaxon” Johnson was publishing God Nose, perhaps the first in a series of 60’s era “Underground Comix,” and by the end of the decade there were hundreds being published across the country.

  • Early Settlers of Washington County, Tennessee This 'Coffee Table' Size Book Is a Masterpiece of Both Information and Production Quality
    JOHN CROCKETT SENIOR 'Tennessee Royalty' Biography Courtesy of the Jonesborough Genealogical Society excerpted from their book, Early Settlers of Washington County, Tennessee This 'coffee table' size book is a masterpiece of both information and production quality. The book may be purchased from the Jonesborough Genealogical Society. The link to the Jonesborough Society is under 'Helpful Links' at our Website. As with many famous men in the annals of history, some disagreements arise among knowledgeable Historians. John Crockett - the father of David Crockett - is no exception. The current Greene County Historian and a past President of the Crockett Descendants Association clarifies that the marriage date of John Crockett is uncertain, that any middle name or initial for him or his famous son, David, is not adequately proven, and John and Rebecca Crockett had only nine children. Also in dispute is the actual date of death of John Crockett and the location of Rebecca's death at her daughter, Rebecca Jane Crockett Foster's home and subsequent burial. What all can agree with is both John Crockett and his esteemed son, David, have entered into the annals of East Tennessee History. Life on the Frontier Some Historians believe John Crockett was a son of David "The Elder" Crockett. Both he and his [purported] wife, Elizabeth Hedge Crockett were killed at their home near today's Rogersville on August 19, 1777 by Cherokee Indians led by Dragging Canoe. John and Elizabeth are believed to be buried in Rogers Cemetery, located in the oldest section of Rogersville. The parentage of John Crockett and his wife's name is also now under dispute among Historians as is the Crockett's Huguenot ancestry.

    CRESCAT SCIENTIA Utah Valley University J o u r n a l o f H i s t o r y V o l u m e X 2 0 1 3 REVIEW OF MARTIN LUTHER’S DEDICATORY LETTER TO POPE LEO X ADRIENNE SHELLEY HOUSANDS OF CHURCHES AROUND THE WORLD CAN THANK MARTIN TLuther. He went against the social and societal norms because of his strong belief in the reformation of the Catholic Church and by doing so allowed the evolution of new churches. Martin Luther had different views than the Catholic Church. He believed that the selling of indulgences was immoral and that the corruption and perversion of the church and its leaders must be modified as well as the doctrines being taught. Martin Luther sent a letter to Pope Leo X explaining his own views on religion, which he believed to be the “truth,” and invited him to join him in the true word. In the beginning of the letter Luther de- fends and creates a sense of loyalty to the pope. He explains how he has never said anything that was not honorable about Leo and goes on to say what a good person he is. He is blunt when he refers to the cardi- nals and describes them as his enemies because of their corruption and their efforts in overthrowing peace. He brings up similarities between the cardinals and anti-christs to show the perversion of Leo’s court and explains that this corruption isn’t really Christian. He goes on to write about the purpose of these positions saying, “Christ was sent for no other office than that of the word, and the order of apostles, that of bishops, and that of the whole body of the clergy, have been called and instituted for no object other but the ministry of God.”1 He implies that if their whole calling is to the ministry of God, then those in these 1 Luther, Martin, Henry Wace, and C.

  • Davy Crockett Is Dead, but How He Died Lives On
    Davy Crockett is Dead, But How He Died Lives On BRENDA GUNN ELCOME TO THE CENTER for American History on this San Jacinto Day when we commemorate the event Wthat ended the Texas revolution and the achievement of independence from Texas's mother country, Mexico. While my presentation this morning does not directly address the Battle of San Jacinto, it is in the spirit of the day: the Battle of the Alamo is the backdrop. Out of that defeat, which led to the victory two months later at San Jacinto, came a controversy centering around a Mexican soldier and his diary. Before I tell you more about this soldier, his diary, and the ex- traordinary fuss, I would like to give you a brief introduction to the Center for American History. We are a special collections li- brary, archive, and museum comprised of four components. Three are not on this campus. Winedale is a complex of historical struc- tures and modern facilities situated on 225 acres near Round Top, Texas. The site offers examples of early Texas architecture and decorative arts, and a variety of educational programs are con- ducted there. Another component is the Sam Rayburn Library and Museum in Bonham. The museum features exhibits docu- menting the life and career of this former Texas congressman and GUJSIN is assistant director of tbe Center for American History, University of Texas at Austin. She gave this talk on April 21, 2005, following the Society's semiannual meeting in Austin.
