    THE BEVIER FAMILY THE DESCENDANTS OF LOUIS BEVIER, Patentee of New Paltz, New York Compiled by KENNETH E. HASBROUCK A revision and continuation of "The Bevier Family", by Katherine Bevier, 1916 Published by The Huguenot Historical Society, New Paltz, New York, Inc. 1970 IN APPRECIATION This book has been delayed due to the fact that a genealogist who respects the excellent results of another person's efforts in the past, tends to be hesitant in pro­ ducing a new work, which must measure up to the standards so capably followed by Miss Katherine Bevier in 1916. However, forty-four years have par -ed, and as I worked on the manuscript, it was definitely evident that a new book would be twice the size of the original "Bevier Family", and Miss Bevier had been hampered by the advent of World War I. The members of the Bevier Family have been a constant inspiration. They have been interested and most cooperative. They have shown in many ways that they wanted a new genealogy. It would be impossible to list all of the people who have contributed material for this work. In a number of instances it has been necessary to complete lines of descent that go back to the third generation.

    Human Remains and the Construction of Race and History, 1897-1945 By Samuel James Redman A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Richard Cándida Smith, Chair Professor Randolph Starn Professor Thomas Biolsi Spring 2012 © 2012 by Samuel James Redman All rights reserved. Abstract Human Remains and the Construction of Race and History, 1897-1945 by Samuel James Redman Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Cándida Smith, Chair This dissertation examines the use of human remains as tools for research and display over the course of a fifty-year span in the United States. It explores the shift away from racial classification toward emerging ideas regarding human prehistory and evolution. This project serves as both an intellectual history of the discourse surrounding these remains and a cultural history of the exhibitions that millions of visitors encountered at museums and fairs throughout much of the nineteenth and twentieth century. 1 To Emily i Table of Contents Acknowledgements Introduction Chapter 1 – Collecting Bodies for Science in the Late Nineteenth Century Chapter 2 – Salvaging Race and Remains: Collecting, Documenting, and Legislating Bones in the Early 20th Century Chapter 3 – The Mütter Museum: The Medical Body on Display Chapter 4 – The Story of Man Through the Ages: Artistry, Anthropology, and Scientific Certainty on Display Chapter 5 – The Rise and Fall of Scientific Racism and the Changing Meaning of Museum Remains Chapter 6 – Human Remains and the Emerging Study of the Human Prehistory Bibliography ii Acknowledgements Writing a dissertation of this kind is a collaborative process.
