Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Berea Quarterly, Vol. 12: January, 1909 Of National Concern! These robust, capable people are Americans - many "Sons of the Revolution" - were loyal to the Union; but lack of waterways and railways has kept them in pioneer conditions. They lack the educated leaders and connections with more advanced communities which the West possessed. By well adapted Normal and Industrial Work, "Extension Lecturer"s on Horseback, etc., Berea is saving them from corrupting influences, and fitting them to re-inforce the best elements of the Nation. Non-sectarian. Mainly dependent on individual gifts. Special need for new buildings, and "extension work." A gift of $100 constitutes an "effective helper." Every "sustaining scholarship" of $40 opens the way for one more student. Send gifts or inquiries to the President, Wm. Goodell Frost, LL.D., Berea, Ky. A Special Emergency now exists. Founded among anti-slavery southerners, Berea admitted colored students like a northern school. This is now prohibited by law and the school must meet the extra expense of separate provision for the colored. Make money orders payable to Thos. J. Osborne, Treas. Berea, Madison County, Kentucky. In bequests use the corporate name Berea College. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Appalachia on Our Mind written by Henry D. Shapiro and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-03-30 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Appalachia on Our Mind is not a history of Appalachia. It is rather a history of the American idea of Appalachia. The author argues that the emergence of this idea has little to do with the realities of mountain life but was the result of a need to reconcile the "otherness" of Appalachia, as decribed by local-color writers, tourists, and home missionaries, with assumptions about the nature of America and American civilization. Between 1870 and 1900, it became clear that the existence of the "strange land and peculiar people" of the southern mountains challenged dominant notions about the basic homogeneity of the American people and the progress of the United States toward achiving a uniform national civilization. Some people attempted to explain Appalachian otherness as normal and natural -- no exception to the rule of progress. Others attempted the practical integration of Appalachia into America through philanthropic work. In the twentieth century, however, still other people began questioning their assumptions about the characteristics of American civilization itself, ultimately defining Appalachia as a region in a nation of regions and the mountaineers as a people in a nation of peoples. In his skillful examination of the "invention" of the idea of Appalachia and its impact on American thought and action during the early twentieth century, Mr. Shapiro analyzes the following: the "discovery" of Appalachia as a field for fiction by the local-color writers and as a field for benevolent work by the home missionaries of the northern Protestant churches; the emergence of the "problem" of Appalachia and attempts to solve it through explanation and social action; the articulation of a regionalist definition of Appalachia and the establishment of instituions that reinforced that definition; the impact of that regionalistic definition of Appalachia on the conduct of systematic benevolence, expecially in the context of the debate over child-labor restriction and the transformation of philanthropy into community work; and the attempt to discover the bases for an indigenous mountain culture in handicrafts, folksong, and folkdance.
Download or read book Blacks in Appalachia written by William H. Turner and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-03-17 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although southern Appalachia is popularly seen as a purely white enclave, blacks have lived in the region from early times. Some hollows and coal camps are in fact almost exclusively black settlements. The selected readings in this new book offer the first comprehensive presentation of the black experience in Appalachia. Organized topically, the selections deal with the early history of blacks in the region, with studies of the black communities, with relations between blacks and whites, with blacks in coal mining, and with political issues. Also included are a section on oral accounts of black experiences and an analysis of black Appalachian demography. The contributors range from Carter Woodson and W. E. B. Du Bois to more recent scholars such as Theda Perdue and David A. Corbin. An introduction by the editors provides an overall context for the selections. Blacks in Appalachia focuses needed attention on a neglected area of Appalachian studies. It will be a valuable resource for students of Appalachia and of black history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Berea Quarterly, Vol. 12: April, 1908 To New Readers. This Quarterly speaks for Rural Life in general, and in particular for the hopeful South. Our special field is Appalachian America - the virgin mountains whose people owned land but did not own slaves. A thousand quaint survivals - British traits and colonial ways - prove to us that here is a reenforcement for the better elements of the nation. A special compli cation growing Out of Berea's honorable war record directs our attention just now to the Adjustment Fund explained this month, to which Mr. Carnegie has sub scribed so generously. The Boy Lincoln, by Eastman johnson, reproduced as our frontispiece this month, comes to Berea with great fitness. Lincoln was sociologically, although not quite geographically, a mountain man. Born in Ken tucky just outside the mountain region, he belonged to a family living in the primitive conditions which still prevail in Appalachian America, and a family which owned land and did not own slaves. The picture is in Eastman johnson's best spirit, and was shown at the March meeting of the Congregational Club in New York where President Frost gave his address on Scenes of Lincoln's Boyhood.
