Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen years after its hardcover debut, the FSG Classics reissue of the celebrated work of narrative nonfiction that won the National Book Award and changed the American conversation about race, with a new preface by the author The Ball family hails from South Carolina—Charleston and thereabouts. Their plantations were among the oldest and longest-standing plantations in the South. Between 1698 and 1865, close to four thousand black people were born into slavery under the Balls or were bought by them. In Slaves in the Family, Edward Ball recounts his efforts to track down and meet the descendants of his family's slaves. Part historical narrative, part oral history, part personal story of investigation and catharsis, Slaves in the Family is, in the words of Pat Conroy, "a work of breathtaking generosity and courage, a magnificent study of the complexity and strangeness and beauty of the word ‘family.'"

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Ball Family: Genealogy of the New Haven Branch, Allen Ball and Some of His Descendants, 1638-1864 Leonard Abraham Bradley was a descendant of Allen Ball through Mary Ball (daughter of Deacon Stephen Ball), who married Abraham Bradley, his grandfather. Abram Bradley, as he was generally known, was born in New Haven, Connecticut, March 14th, 1833, and graduated at Yale College in the Class of 1855, of which he was the Vice-Secretary for many years. After studying for a few months at the Union Theological Seminary of New York, he decided to follow the law as his profession. He graduated at the Yale Law School, '55-56, and was admitted to the Bar Association of New York in 1858, and to the Connecticut Bar in 1870. He resided in New York for thirty years and was for a long time in the office of Strong & Cadwalader, whose Senior partner, Mr. Charles E.Strong, was his cousin. Mr. Bradley was a well known Real Estate specialist. He never married and passed away in New Haven, April 18th, 1898. Mr. Bradley commenced his genealogical studies soon after leaving College. This Ms of the Ball Genealogy, dated October 21st, 1864, was the second of his studies on the subject, and it seems to have been then completed and ready for the press. Just about that period he began the study of the Bradley Family. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Oral History written by Thad Sitton and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2011-05-18 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a mode of gathering information about the past, oral history has become an international movement. Historians, folklorists, and other educational and religious groups now recognize the importance of preserving the recollections of people about the past. The recorded memories of famous and common folk alike provide a vital complement to textbook history, bringing the past to life through the stories of those who lived it. Oral History is designed to introduce teachers, students, and interested individuals to the techniques, problems, and pleasures of collecting oral history. The authors, themselves experienced educators, examine the uses of oral history in the classroom, looking at a wide range of projects that have been attempted and focusing on those that have succeeded best. Besides suggesting many possible projects, they discuss the necessary hardware and its use: recording equipment and procedures, interview outlines and preliminary research, photography and note-taking in the field, transcription and storage of information, legal forms, and more. For the teacher, the authors offer helpful advice on training students to be sensitive interviewers in both formal and informal situations. How can oral histories collected in the classroom be put to use? The authors discuss their uses within the curriculum; in projects such as oral history archives, publications such as the popular Foxfire books, and other media productions; and in researching current community problems. Useful appendixes survey a variety of reference tools for the oral historian and describe in detail how a Foxfire-concept magazine may be developed.
Download or read book Escape on the Pearl written by Mary Kay Ricks and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The largest mass escape of fugitive slaves in American history is thrillingly chronicled in this “readable . . . valuable account” (Kirkus). On the evening of April 15, 1848, nearly eighty enslaved Americans attempted one of history's most audacious escapes. Setting sail from Washington, D.C., on a schooner named the Pearl, the fugitives began a daring 225-mile journey to freedom in the North—and put in motion a furiously fought battle over slavery in America that would consume Congress, the streets of the capital, and the White House itself. Mary Kay Ricks's vivid history brings to life the Underground Railroad's largest escape attempt, the seemingly immutable politics of slavery, and the individuals who struggled to end it. Escape on the Pearl reveals the incredible odyssey of those who were onboard, including the remarkable lives of fugitives Mary and Emily Edmonson, the two sisters at the heart of this true story of courage and determination. The volume concludes with a thorough overview of the fates of the escapees and their descendants.
