Judge. Correspondence (1907–1944) regarding Watts’s personal affairs, politics and government at the state and local levels, and the progress and resolution of legal cases in which he was involved; and publications (1914–1944), also regarding politics and government at the local, state, and national levels. The correspondence series of this collection reflects Watts’s interest in the welfare of the Democratic Party in all state and national elections from 1910 to 1944, with many letters and telegrams regarding the character and suitability of candidates for office. _________________ Biographical Note: Born in Muldrow, Indian Territory, in 1875, Charles G. Watts attended Hiram and Lydia College at Altus, Arkansas. He then studied law under attorney, Colonel W. M. Cravens at Ft. Smith until 1896 when he was admitted to the Arkansas bar. In 1896, he began to practice law in Wagoner, Indian Territory, where he served two terms as Mayor before statehood in 1907. Watts served as District Judge of Wagoner and Muskogee Counties from 1914 to 1921, and was appointed to the State Supreme Court Commission for a two year term. Later, he served by special appointment to the State Supreme Court and State Court of Criminal Appeals. Watts was active in the Democratic Party as a member of the Central Committee. He was also involved in the Methodist Church of Wagoner, as well as the Masonic Lodge, Oklahoma Bar Association, and Wagoner Chamber of Commerce. About the Collection: This collection contains the court notes and documents of Watts, a leading trial lawyer and judge of Indian Territory and early statehood. The collection includes a wide range of case files in the following areas: divorce, accidental injury, criminal appeals, and bill collection. The wealth of information contained in the collection provides insight into the finances, business transactions, and legal expectations of the residents of Indian Territory, and early Oklahoma. A large number of Watts' clients were of American Indian and African- American descent. This collection provides an original account of legal problems concerning these people and the communities in which they lived. Box 1 Folder: 1. Estate of Sampson Barbee, Leon B. Fant, administrator.

  • Music and the American Civil War
    “LIBERTY’S GREAT AUXILIARY”: MUSIC AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by CHRISTIAN MCWHIRTER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2009 Copyright Christian McWhirter 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Music was almost omnipresent during the American Civil War. Soldiers, civilians, and slaves listened to and performed popular songs almost constantly. The heightened political and emotional climate of the war created a need for Americans to express themselves in a variety of ways, and music was one of the best. It did not require a high level of literacy and it could be performed in groups to ensure that the ideas embedded in each song immediately reached a large audience. Previous studies of Civil War music have focused on the music itself. Historians and musicologists have examined the types of songs published during the war and considered how they reflected the popular mood of northerners and southerners. This study utilizes the letters, diaries, memoirs, and newspapers of the 1860s to delve deeper and determine what roles music played in Civil War America. This study begins by examining the explosion of professional and amateur music that accompanied the onset of the Civil War. Of the songs produced by this explosion, the most popular and resonant were those that addressed the political causes of the war and were adopted as the rallying cries of northerners and southerners. All classes of Americans used songs in a variety of ways, and this study specifically examines the role of music on the home-front, in the armies, and among African Americans.

This case involves Viacom’s abuse of its market power over access to commercially critical networks – its highly popular Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, BET, and MTV networks – to force Cablevision to license and distribute over scarce bandwidth some dozen other Viacom networks, which Viacom calls Suite Networks, that many Cablevision subscribers do not watch and for which Cablevision would prefer to substitute competing networks. Viacom strong-armed Cablevision into carrying Suite Networks by threatening to impose a near $ billion penalty if Cablevision licensed only the Viacom networks Cablevision wanted, networks Viacom calls its Core Networks. Stated differently, unless Cablevision agreed to distribute Viacom’s Suite, Cablevision would pay nearly as much for just the Core (which includes commercially critical networks) than for the Core and Suite 1 Case 1:13-cv-01278-LTS Document 9 Filed 03/07/13 Page 2 of 60 combined. Viacom’s diabolical and coercive scheme, which harms competition, consumers, and Cablevision, constitutes tying and block booking in violation of the Sherman Act and New York law.

    COLLEGIANS RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB 1890— 1990 by PIERRE PAUL FRY Published by Collegians Rugby Football Club, Belfast, and printed by Nelson & Knox (N.I.) Ltd. BELFAST: 1989 it FOREWORD One does not proceed very far into the research on Collegians Rugby Football Club without realising the depth and the degree to which Collegians owes its survival and existence to the generosity and benevolence of Charles Seaver Neill. Collegians is synomonous with Charlie Neill. Appropriately, the present pavilion at Deramore Park is a tangible memorial to him. It was my privilege to have known him and to have played rugby at Collegians when he was very much the dominating personality. When you met him you saw either the obvious gentleman with old world charm and courtesy or a man with commanding presence, he was over six feet tall and straight in stature, forbidding, even autocratic, but whichever mood he was in you may be sure that underneath his exterior was a most sympathetic and understanding nature. In conversation when he was invariably extolling the virtues of Collegians, he spoke with a distinct, pulsating and passionate voice. Charlie Neill was the great Collegian. I wish to thank many people and sources from which I have had assistance in the compilation of this work. My first acknowledgement must be made to the Belfast Newsletter, the Belfast Telegraph, the Ireland's Saturday Night, the Northern Whig, the Linenhall Library and the Central Library for permission to use their files for reports and results of matches. My thanks are also due to the Methodist College, Belfast for access to its archives, mainly for the records of the early years.

Red Masters & Their Black Slaves in a White Man’s War: The Five Civilized Tribes’ Relationship with the Confederacy in Light of Slavery Olivia DeWitt Research Methods December 08, 2016 DeWitt 1 Abstract This paper analyzes the alliance between the Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Choctaw slave-owning tribes and the Confederacy during the Civil War. These tribes offer a unique insight into the institution of slavery in one of its most peculiar forms. By studying the relationship between Indian masters and their slaves, the paper concludes that the main impetus for the alliance between the Indians and the Confederacy was slavery based on common culture, diplomatic dealings, and the actions of non-slave-owning tribes. While writing this paper, the researcher used a variety of letters between both Union and Confederate Indian agents, the personal correspondence of Indian chiefs, and records from intertribal meetings.

    In Those Days, African American Oral History Contents Abtract Oral History Project Foreword Captured and Sold Gaining Freedom Tenant Farming Buying Land Changing Places Developing New Skills Nurturing Leaders Hot Suppers & Good Times Gaining Strength Together Final Thoughts Internet Sources SEARCH Credits About the Book Web Pages Sharyn Kane & Richard Keeton In Those Days is an oral history from elderly African Americans in Elbert County, Georgia, and Abbeville County., South Carolina. This area, in the northern portion of both states, is a patchwork of tiny woods and rolling, red clay hills, intermingled with small towns and hardcabble farms. Sparsely populated and mostly rural, the region, even today, provides glimpses of a vanishing way of life in the South. The text explores many facets of African American life, beginning with slavery, and continuing through to modern times. The writing emphasizes the recollections of residents through their own words, with a backdrop of supportive information about the region and events elsewhere that affected the South. Many historic photographs illustrate the text. The oral histories were collected by researchers as part of the Richard B. Russell Dam construction in the early 1980's. The volume was published by the Technical Assistance and Partnerships Division, Southeast Archeological Center, National Park Service, with funding supplied by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
