  • GRG Journal.Pub
    A Genealogy and History Journal of the Germanna Research Group October, 2012 Vol. 2, No. 3 GRG Myths, Evidence and Logic The True Story of Fort Germanna, New German Town and Spotswood’s Second Colony Settlers By Michael L. Oddenino Owing to thin historical research on Germanna, myths arise to fill the gaps much as weeds fill an unattended garden. Weeds of historical inaccuracy abound in the garden of Germanna his- tory. A thick patch of weeds is found in the myths of the Germanna settlers known as the Second Colony and where they first lived after arriving in Virginia as indentured servants working for Lt. Governor Alexander Spotswood. An oft repeated myth is that the Second Colony settlers lived in- side Fort Germanna with the already present First Colony settlers. Weeds, so many weeds. This piece will clear the garden of those weeds and establish that the Second Colony settlers set up shop in New German Town in what is now Culpeper County, never having lived at Fort Germanna. My experience as a lawyer teaches me that evidence is critical in accurately determining what happened in the past. Every court case is an exercise in teaching a judge or jury the history of the case. The stronger the evidence presented, the greater likelihood of a favorable outcome for the party able to marshal the most convincing evidence. This article examines the evidence which tells the story of where a certain group of German immigrants lived in colonial Virginia in the early 1700s. History often gets shrouded in myth with myth taking on the characteristics of how we, to- day, wish the events of the past might have happened.

  • The Studio System and Conglomerate Hollywood
    TCHC01 6/22/07 02:16 PM Page 11 PART I THE STRUCTURE OF THE INDUSTRY TCHC01 6/22/07 02:16 PM Page 12 TCHC01 6/22/07 02:16 PM Page 13 CHAPTER 1 THE STUDIO SYSTEM AND CONGLOMERATE HOLLYWOOD TOM SCHATZ Introduction In August 1995 Neal Gabler, an astute Hollywood observer, wrote an op-ed piece for The New York Times entitled “Revenge of the Studio System” in response to recent events that, in his view, signaled an industry-wide transformation (Gabler 1995). The previous year had seen the Seagram buyout of MCA-Universal, Time Warner’s purchase of the massive Turner Broadcasting System, and the launch of Dream- Works, the first new movie studio since the classical era. Then on August 1 came the bombshell that provoked Gabler’s editorial. Disney announced the acquisition of ABC and its parent conglomerate, Cap Cities, in a $19 billion deal – the second- largest merger in US history, which created the world’s largest media company. Disney CEO Michael Eisner also disclosed a quarter-billion-dollar deal with Mike Ovitz of Hollywood’s top talent agency, Creative Artists, to leave CAA and run the Disney empire. For Gabler, the Disney deals confirmed “a fundamental shift in the balance of power in Hollywood – really the third revolution in the relationship between industry forces.” Revolution I occurred nearly a century before with the formation of the Hollywood studios and the creation of a “system” that enabled them to con- trol the movie industry from the 1920s through the 1940s. Revolution II came with the postwar rise of television and the dismantling of the studio system by the courts, which allowed a new breed of talent brokers, “most notably Lew Wasserman of the Music Corporation of America [MCA],” to usurp control of the film industry.

    COST-SHARE CULTURAL RESOURCE SURVEY OF 23 AREAS OF HISTORIC INTEREST WITHIN CULPEPER COUNTY, VIRGINIA by Sean P. Maroney Prepared for Virginia Department of Historic Resources and Culpeper County, Department of Planning Prepared by DOVETAIL CULTURAL RESOURCE GROUP January 2009 Cost-Share Cultural Resource Survey of 23 Areas of Historic Interest Within Culpeper County, Virginia by Sean P. Maroney with contributions from Kerri S. Barile, Heather Dollins Marco González, Brad Hatch, and Kerry Schamel-González Prepared for Virginia Department of Historic Resources 2801 Kensington Avenue Richmond, Virginia 23221 and Culpeper County, Department of Planning 302 N. Main Street Culpeper, Virginia 22701 Prepared by Dovetail Cultural Resource Group 300 Central Road, Suite 200 Fredericksburg, Virginia 22401 Dovetail Job #07-066 January 2009 ABSTRACT In January of 2008, Dovetail Cultural Resource Group began a multi-phase reconnaissance-level investigation of architectural and archaeological resources located within 23 specified Areas of Historic Interest (AOHI) in Culpeper County, Virginia. The project was completed at the request of the Culpeper County Department of Planning in satisfaction of requirements outlined in the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) cost-share survey program contract. The multi-phase survey comprised a Phase I- level investigation of all historic architectural properties over 50 years in age and a general evaluation of each area’s potential archaeological value. Following the fieldwork, a comprehensive Data Sharing System packet was completed for each surveyed resource, including an architectural description, statement of significance, location maps, and sets of both black & white and color digital photographs. In addition, three of the areas of interest deemed potentially eligible for listing as historic districts on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) were subjected to more in-depth investigations and documented in a Preliminary Information Form (PIF) to be submitted to the DHR for their review.
