C, Attorney at Law; Master of Arts; Alumnus of the College of Charleston ; One of the Authors of "Ravenel and McHugh's Digest," Etc. ATLANTA,GA.: The Franklin Printing and Publishing Co. Geo. W. Harrison, State Printer, Manager, 1898. cJ-a . C « 9. 30^.<0 '<M PREFACE. IWJOT through any fondness for genealogy, and certainly *¦ not through any taleut in that direction, was this work undertaken. But the necessity of making some effort to preserve our family story had so impressed itself upon me, that in July, 1894, 1sent out a circular letter to various members of the family, inviting their cooperation" upon the ground of the following statement, viz.: The eighth and ninth generations of Ravenels since the advent of our emi­ grant ancestor to this country are now living. Owing to the decease within the last ten years of several of the older representatives of the name, and owing also to the rapidity with which many of the active members of the family are becoming scattered over several States, in consequence of the changed coudition of affairs at the old family centers, we have arrived at a point where we are in danger of losing our family history and traditions." At that time 1had printed the paper by Mr.Thomas P. Ravenel, which is reproduced in this volume, and Iexpected to be able, within a few months, to publish a sketch giving as much information as was necessary. But the material offered outgrew my expectation incertain directions, while the difficulty of obtaining the actual family lines of descent wa6 also far beyond anticipation. Although guided princi­ pally by the chart prepared by Dr.Wm. C. Ravenel, which he lent, me, Iwas soon able to trace the line of Daniel Ravenel of Somerton, Iencountered immense delay in getting the line of Rene* Louis Ravenel. Upon discovering, however, that Dr. Robert Wilson had made a chart of this IV Preface. line, Iborrowed and copied it,and have made very free use of his work. Idesire now to record my thanks to him. His chart, supplemented by information furnished by Mr. Thomas P. liavenel, and by a great deal of outside corre­ spondence on my own part, has been my principal reliance 1n making up the tables. A second cause of delay was the announcement made to me by M. Fraiu de la Gaulayrie, of Vitre, France, that he was preparing a publication entering very largely into the transatlantic history of our family prior to the migration from France, and I.could not but wait for this book, which appeared in 1896, and is a valuable addition to our printed history. A brochure by the same author arriving in May, 1897, gives interesting facts in regard to the Le Febvre family and others. A third cause of detention was that the work could only be prosecuted at odd moments, and on account of my busi­ ness engagements it had often to be entirely laid aside for long intervals. Such spasmodic attention to historical work interferes not only with its progress, but with its character and orderly arrangement. If there is any matter in the world requiring the whole subject to be kept before the mind, itis the construction of a genealogical table, for the thread once dropped, one wastes hours in recovering it, and even the omissions which had been fresh to the thought before the interruption are forgotten afterwards. Nor is this all. While some ofmy correspondents have been prompt and even zealous in their replies, in other quarters incredible delay, and sometimes indifference, has been met. A genealogical question, however simple, can seldom be, answered offhand, so itis with a historical doubt. But the reception of an interrogatory requiring a reference to one's family records "is sufficient to make most men lay aside the missive for a more convenient season," a season that never comes. Preface. V The inherent and necessary difficulties of my task have been greatly increased by ray isolation from the family centers and principal sources of information, so that many details which might have been easily and quickly learned in Charleston or St. Johns by interviews or by accessible records have required a letter, and frequently several let­ ters. Nor can Ihope to have avoided errors. Dependent, in the nature of the case, upon others for the great bulk of the material used, errors may creep in as well from wrong information as from faulty reproduction. The irregularity with which the information from all sources has come to hand has interfered \uth its satisfactory arrangement, notwithstanding the rewriting of many pages. Considerable delay luis also been experienced by the necessity for mailing the several sections of proofs of the family tables in various directions for verification. Itake this means of correcting an inaccuracy appearing on page 28, due to my want of familiarity with the Poo­ shee diaries at the time the text was prepared. Stephen Ravenel was elected Secretary of State on De­ cember 20, 1794, and Daniel James Ravenel in 1810. No errors of any consequence have come under my no­ tice, but it will be found that the General Index collates some facts omitted or misplaced in the body of the book, as, for instance, the burning of Daniel Ravenel's house in Charleston in 1796. Ihave done what Icould with the materials obtained, and for the faults and omissions of the little book Ithrow myself upon the indulgence of that agreeable family circle for whose use these pages are offered.

W. Holmes. the inception of this work, a desire has been ex­ pressed that the rank of the family in Europe should be spoken of. The subject has not heretofore received ade­ quate attention, but its claims should not be overlooked ; and we may certainly regard with satisfaction the evidences obtained and here submitted. The Ravenels belonged to the noblesse of France. Both before and after the migra­ tion they intermarried with families of %the nobility, and their rank was recognized inofficial documents, public as well as private. To some extent the transatlantic history of the family has been known to us here for many years, but our information lr 2 Ravenel Records. is much more fulland accurate through recent letters and publications ofM.Frain de la Gaulayrie, of Vitr6, from whom Iquote freely. Having entered upon the topic, it naturally falls into the first place, and a longer introduction would add nothing to the facts adduced. The name itself is not unknown to fame either before or after the migration. "During the war of the Camisards we find a Ravenel at one time (1703) in command of a force during a battle. He was one of four men who kept up the conflict amid great discouragements. He was finally put to the torture to induce him to make disclosures and was burned alive."— Howe's History ofPres. Church, page 155. We do not know this hero. Perhaps he was of our blood and close relationship. Illuminated with the romance of more than five hundred years comes the poetic story of Tiphaine Ravenel, wife of Bertrand dv Guesclin, whom we like to love and admire, ¦; hether or not she was of our line. The story is worthy of "a place here. Tiphaine Ravenel, the daughter of Sir Robin Ravenel, one of the combatants in the celebrated 'Battle of Thirty'— distinguished for her birth, beauty and accomplishments — predicted for Bertrand a fortunate issue of the combat. She was at that time twenty-four years of age; was instructed inphilosophy and astronomy, and was wiser and better taught than any one in the whole country." ". She was the daughter of Robin Ravenel and Jeanne de Dinan, heiress of Belliere. Cuvelier gives the name Ragu­ enel; v. 2381. In the Histoire de Bretagne, by Morice, torn, i., p. 294, /it is Raguenel, and in the Chronique (Anonyme) de Dv Guesclin as in the text, which has been adopted" as the name has descended to our times.

  • The Chinese Civil War (1927–37 and 1946–49)
    13 CIVIL WAR CASE STUDY 2: THE CHINESE CIVIL WAR (1927–37 AND 1946–49) As you read this chapter you need to focus on the following essay questions: • Analyze the causes of the Chinese Civil War. • To what extent was the communist victory in China due to the use of guerrilla warfare? • In what ways was the Chinese Civil War a revolutionary war? For the first half of the 20th century, China faced political chaos. Following a revolution in 1911, which overthrew the Manchu dynasty, the new Republic failed to take hold and China continued to be exploited by foreign powers, lacking any strong central government. The Chinese Civil War was an attempt by two ideologically opposed forces – the nationalists and the communists – to see who would ultimately be able to restore order and regain central control over China. The struggle between these two forces, which officially started in 1927, was interrupted by the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war in 1937, but started again in 1946 once the war with Japan was over. The results of this war were to have a major effect not just on China itself, but also on the international stage.

  • Brazilian Images of the United States, 1861-1898: a Working Version of Modernity?
    Brazilian images of the United States, 1861-1898: A working version of modernity? Natalia Bas University College London PhD thesis I, Natalia Bas, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Abstract For most of the nineteenth-century, the Brazilian liberal elites found in the ‘modernity’ of the European Enlightenment all that they considered best at the time. Britain and France, in particular, provided them with the paradigms of a modern civilisation. This thesis, however, challenges and complements this view by demonstrating that as early as the 1860s the United States began to emerge as a new model of civilisation in the Brazilian debate about modernisation. The general picture portrayed by the historiography of nineteenth-century Brazil is still today inclined to overlook the meaningful place that U.S. society had from as early as the 1860s in the Brazilian imagination regarding the concept of a modern society. This thesis shows how the images of the United States were a pivotal source of political and cultural inspiration for the political and intellectual elites of the second half of the nineteenth century concerned with the modernisation of Brazil. Drawing primarily on parliamentary debates, newspaper articles, diplomatic correspondence, books, student journals and textual and pictorial advertisements in newspapers, this dissertation analyses four different dimensions of the Brazilian representations of the United States. They are: the abolition of slavery, political and civil freedoms, democratic access to scientific and applied education, and democratic access to goods of consumption.

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.

  • Nesen I. the Horse in the Wedding Ritual of Central Polissia. Несен
    ВИПУСК № 14 Irina NESEN Kyiv THE HORSE IN THE WEDDING RITUAL OF CENTRAL POLISSIA The wedding ritual as a complicated and developed system conceals various symbols and plots associated with them, which are represented by some characters. Sometimes they are animals reflecting different surrounding objects and phenomena. Such phenomenon forms a special zoological code1. In old times animals were objects of the cult (zoolatry). But this phenomenon is not always connected with totemism2. Horse occupies a prominent place among such animals and it is one of the oldest cultural symbols. But its role in the wedding ceremony is not examined enough because of the lack of the source base. A chief aim of the article is to distinguish horse role and place in Central Polissia wedding ritual. The research is based on the field materials gathered by the author on the region territory during the expedition, exactly in 30 villages of Emilchyns’kyi, Luhyns’kyi, Malyns’kyi, Narodyts’kyi, Ovryts’kyi, Olevs’kyi districts (Zhytomyr region), Ivankivs’kyi, Polis’kyi, Chornobyl’skyi districts (Kyiv region), Rokytnivs’kyi district (Rivne region), Iziaslavs’kyi district (Khmelnytsk region). In the world’s mythology the horse is always associated with the male deities – patrons of different worlds. Very often it is an inhabitant of the upper world air and in this meaning it possesses some birds features and is a zoomorphic deity or a helper at the last3. Among the Indo-Europeans horse is not only an assistant of the god of fire Agni, but a cosmic animal, whose parts are associated with the main parts of our Universe4.

  • 0436 Peter Manigault Collection
    Peter Manigault collection, 1745- ca. 1950 SCHS 436.00 Description: 18.75 linear ft. Scope and Content: This collection chiefly consists of papers of the Manigault family and the Pringle family, as well as research material relating to these South Carolina families compiled by Richard N. Cote. A small portion of the collection represents the related families of Frost, Alston, Hayne, Mitchell, and Reid. The research material includes the Edward J. Pringle Collection (USC, Berkeley) on microfilm; photocopied material from the Alston-Pringle-Frost Papers at the South Carolina Historical Society; and Cote's research on the Miles Brewton House. Some of this collection was used as source material or produced as research for Cote's book "Mary's World" (published 2000) about the family of Mary and William Bull Pringle. Papers of the Manigault family include correspondence of Ann Mazyck Manigault (1821-1881), Arthur Middleton Manigault (1824-1886), Arthur Middleton Manigault (1851-1924), Charlotte Drayton Manigault (1781-1855), Joseph Manigault (1763-1843), Ann Manigault Taylor (1803-1864), and Thomas House Taylor (1799- 1867). There are also estate records, genealogical materials, journals, financial records, family bibles, plantation and slave records, numerous family photographs, a Richfield (Plantation) store account book (1882-1890) kept by Arthur M. Manigault (1851-1924), and legal and business documents. A plantation record book for White Oak Plantation and Ogilvie's Island lists the names of slaves and their children. Papers of Arthur Middleton Manigault (1824-1886) include military memoirs detailing his service in the Palmetto Regiment during the Mexican War (1846-1848), and in the 10th South Carolina Infantry Regiment during the War Between the States.

  • The Dutch Poet Elisabeth Hoofman and Her German Patrons
    Chapter 6 Possibilities of Patronage: The Dutch Poet Elisabeth Hoofman and Her German Patrons Nina Geerdink Patronage was a common practice for many early modern authors, but it was a public activity involving engagement with politics, pol- iticians and the rich and famous, and we know of relatively few women writers who profited from the benefits of patronage. The system of patronage altered, however, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and one particular case study brings to light some of the possibilities and difficulties of this system for women writers. Elisabeth Hoofman (1664– 1736) was a Dutch poet whose authorship was representative of that of many writing women around 1700: born in a rich family, she wrote poetry in order to establish and consolidate contacts in a wealthy circle of friends and family, refusing to publish any of her poems. Her authorship status seems to have changed, though, after she and her husband lost their fortune and turned to rich patrons to secure their living. The circle of people addressed in her poetry broadened to power- ful men from outside of her intimate network and she started to print- publish. In this chapter, Hoofman’s opportunities to contrib- ute to the family income as a woman writer along with her abili- ty and necessity to manage her reputation are analysed with and through her poetry. ∵ Traditionally, Renaissance literary patronage has been regarded as a relation- ship between authors and patrons within the context of court culture. Pa- tronised authors received pensions for their poetic work, which they could produce relatively autonomously, as long as their literary reputation reflect- ed on the court and its ruler(s), and as long as their literary products could on occasion be used to amuse these ruler(s) and their guests.
