Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Copyright, Mahaska I remember a time when every man or woman I knew was Older than myself; now nearly every man and woman I know are younger than myself. Only here and there a feeble, bent and white-haired man or woman who have seen the, snows Of more winters or the waving corn and green meadows Of more summers than I have. I have seen a time when I thought a person Old at forty. I have lived to see the time when men and women who are not beyond forty seem hardly to have arrived at mature manhood or womanhood. Three score and eleven years seem a time late in life to undertake the task Of writing for the perusal Of the present generation my recollections Of the early settling Of Mahaska County, and their ancestors who were the early settlers, but that is what I propose to do if the Lord spares my life and mental faculties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few sources before have dealt with the archaeology of African American settlements outside the Atlantic seaboard and the southern states. This book describes in detail the archaeological investigations conducted at the town site of Buxton, Iowa, a coal mining community inhabited by a significantly large population of blacks between 1900 and 1925. David Gradwohl and Nancy Osborn present the archaeology of Buxton from “the group up” to articulate the material remains with the data acquired from archival studies and oral history interviews. They also examine the broader significance of the Buxton experience in terms of those who lived there and their children and grandchildren who have heard about Buxton all their lives.

It is the finest book yet written on the U.S.-Mexican War, and how it was central to the making and unmaking of U.S. mass culture, class, and racial formation."—José David Saldívar, author of Border Matters: Remapping American Cultural Studies "A major work that will challenge current paradigms of nineteenth-century literature and culture.

  • Publisher : University Press of Kentucky
  • Release : 2021-12-14
  • ISBN : 0813188865
  • Pages : 133 pages

Download or read book The Half Blood written by William J. Scheick and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The half-blood—half Indian, half white—is a frequent figure in the popular fiction of nineteenth-century America, for he (or sometimes she) served to symbolize many of the conflicting cultural values with which American society was then wrestling. In literature, as in real life the half-blood was a product of the frontier, embodying the conflict between wilderness and civilization that haunted and stirred the American imagination. What was his identity? Was he indeed "half Indian, half white, and half devil"—or a bright link between the races from which would emerge a new American prototype? In this important first study of the fictional half-blood, William J. Scheick examines works ranging from the enormously popular "dime novels" and the short fiction of such writers as Bret Harte to the more sophisticated works of Irving, Cooper, Poe, Hawthorne, and others. He discovers that ambivalence characterized nearly all who wrote of the half-blood. Some writers found racial mixing abhorrent, while others saw more benign possibilities. The use of a "half-blood in spirit"—a character of untainted blood who joined the virtues of the two races in his manner of life—was one ingenious literary strategy adopted by a number of writers, Scheick also compares the literary portrayal of the half-blood with the nineteenth-century view of the mulatto. This pioneering examination of an important symbol in popular literature of the last century opens up a previously unexplored repository of attitudes toward American civilization. An important book for all those concerned with the course of American culture and literature.
