Its original projects were collections centered around Florida history with the purpose of preserving eyewitness accounts of economic, social, political, religious and intellectual life in Florida and the South. In the 45 years since its inception, SPOHP has collected over 5,000 interviews in its archives. Transcribed interviews are available through SPOHP for use by research scholars, students, journalists, and other interested groups. Material is frequently used for theses, dissertations, articles, books, documentaries, museum displays, and a variety of other public uses. As standard oral history practice dictates, SPOHP recommends that researchers refer to both the transcript and audio of an interview when conducting their work. A selection of interviews are available online here through the UF Digital Collections and the UF Smathers Library system. Suggested corrections to transcripts will be reviewed and processed on a case- by-case basis. Oral history interview transcripts available on the UF Digital Collections may be in draft or final format. SPOHP transcribers create interview transcripts by listening to the original oral history interview recording and typing a verbatim document of it. The transcript is written with careful attention to reflect original grammar and word choice of each interviewee; subjective or editorial changes are not made to their speech.

For the first time since Reconstruction tbe state went Republican 1 in a national election, Herbert Hoover getting 53.9% of the total vote. This was not the beginning of a definite trend because the state did not go ? Republican in a presidential election again until 195~. The hold of the Democratic Party over the people appeared as strong as ever on both the local and national levels after this bolt. Since the Givil War the Republican Party in the South had been identified 3 with Reconstruction, emancipation, and civil rights for Negroes. It usually had little support. In Virginia this tendency to a one~party system was accentuated by the lack of several strong factions within the Democratic /Party, as was usual in most of the rest of the South.

  • History and Facts on Virginia
    History and Facts on Virginia Capitol Building, Richmond 3 HISTORY AND FACTS ON VIRGINIA In 1607, the first permanent English settlement in America was established at Jamestown. The Jamestown colonists also established the first representative legislature in America in 1619. Virginia became a colony in 1624 and entered the union on June 25, 1788, the tenth state to do so. Virginia was named for Queen Elizabeth I of England, the “Virgin Queen” and is also known as the “Old Dominion.” King Charles II of England gave it this name in appreciation of Virginia’s loyalty to the crown during the English Civil War of the mid-1600s. Virginia is designated as a Commonwealth, along with Kentucky, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. In 1779, the capital was relocated from Williamsburg to Richmond. The cornerstone for the Virginia Capitol Building was laid on August 18, 1785, and the building was completed in 1792. Modeled after the Maison Carrée at Nîmes, France, the Capitol was the first public building in the United States to be built using the Classical Revival style of architecture. Thomas Jefferson designed the central section of the Capitol, including its most outstanding feature: the interior dome, which is undetectable from the exterior. The wings were added in 1906 to house the Senate and House of Delegates. In 2007, in time to receive the Queen of England during the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the Jamestown Settlement, the Capitol underwent an extensive restoration, renovation and expansion, including the addition of a state of the art Visitor’s Center that will ensure that it remains a working capitol well into the 21st Century.

POLLARD LC ©ClA705590 MAY 28 '23 no 1 Os. 7R May 31, 23 TO The one to whom I long ago dedicated my life, and to whose sweet companionship and gentle, loving helpfulness is due whatever of good I may have accomplished; who has been an inspiration for all of my best successes and achievements, I now lovingly dedicate this little volume of sketches of that life—to My Wife, JESSIE GRESHAM POLLARD. “ I thank all who have loved me in their hearts With thanks and love from mine. ” Memoirs and sketches of the life of Henry Robinson Pollard; an autobiography http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbcb.10851 Library of Congress vii INTRODUCTION At one time, under the influence of Sir Walter Scott and other such writers, I supposed that the history of no other country could equal in charm and interest that of the little land sometimes called North Britain, but a closer study of the people of my own Virginia and of the vicissitudes through which they have passed with credit to themselves has led me to alter this opinion. What better support for this change of view could I offer than to point the reader to these vivid sketches selected by my valued friend, Hon. Henry R. Pollard, from interesting and thrilling scenes and experiences of his long and active life? No important events have taken place in Virginia during the last sixty years in which he has not taken an active and often a leading part.
