Download or read book A Family Portrait written by Betty Littleton and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The governing purpose for A Family Portrait from beginning to end has been to delineate the kinds of people the writer's forebears were-their characters, their habits and values, successes and failures-and to trace in their lives the history that encompassed them. Their significance lies in their brilliant ordinariness. In them we come to see the continuity of human life which funnels the past through us to the future. The author writes about those generations before her, "no matter how different we are from each other, our experience is inevitably the same. We know happiness and grief, hope and despair, love and the kind of resentment and fear that grow into hate. We know disappointment and humiliation, exhilaration and the pride that comes from small triumphs. We are selfish and cowardly but all of us have moments of heroism when our own generosity and courage take us by surprise. Our families help us see these things. Imperfect as they were, they believed in us and loved us without reservation in our own imperfection. These gifts we keep and use and pass along to the next generation, hoping they are improved but knowing that our best-we hope we have done our best--shifts with each new perspective. This is what it means to be a part of the communion of saints, and these are the saints that sustain us."

Download or read book Negro Slavery in Arkansas written by Orville Taylor and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2000-07-01 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long out of print and found only in rare-book stores, it is now available to a contemporary audience with this new paperback edition. When slavery was abolished by the Emancipation Proclamation, there were slaves in every county of the state, and almost half the population was directly involved in slavery as either a slave, a slaveowner, or a member of an owner’s family. Orville Taylor traces the growth of slavery from John Law’s colony in the early eighteenth century through the French and Spanish colonial period, territorial and statehood days, to the beginning of the Civil War. He describes the various facets of the institution, including the slave trade, work and overseers, health and medical treatment, food, clothing, housing, marriage, discipline, and free blacks and manumission. While drawing on unpublished material as appropriate, the book is, to a great extent, based on original, often previously unpublished, sources. Valuable to libraries, historians in several areas of concentration, and the general reader, it gives due recognition to the signficant place slavery occupied in the life and economy of antebellum Arkansas.
