Book excerpt: The author has compiled this work from histories, public records, letters, diaries, Virginia Gazette newspaper files and periodicals "...to convey an impression (sketch and untechnically, of course) upon a single canvas, of the whole kaleidoscopic scene - military, public, economic, home, hospital, social, literary, even the current jokes - with white persons and negroes, grown persons and children, rich and poor, high and low in their relations to the place and one another." This work is grouped by date, from the Colonial Period (1607-1774) through the War Between the States. Individual chapters are devoted to conflict with Indians, Revolutionary War involvement (including Patrick Henry at the Convention, General Arnold's march up Main Street and the Treaty), architecture and monuments, Richmond as "The City of Churches", with emphasis on the Reverend John Buchanan and the Reverend John D. Blair (the "Two Parsons"), the threat of insurrection headed by former slave "General" Gabriel, the trial of Aaron Burr, the Richmond Theater fire (1811), the War of 1812, Richmond's significance during the Civil War (including the Battle of Seven Pines and the Seven Days Battle), and the Reconstruction. The author has provided a supplementary index of "Places of Special Interest," a listing of homes that are over a century old, and numerous illustrations. Many notable Virginians are examined in the text, including Thomas Jefferson, Colonial Byrd, John Brown, Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis and Edgar Allan Poe. Thomas Jefferson's influence, in particular, is felt throughout.

Download or read book The Bassanos written by Roger Prior and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1530s, five Bassano brothers, who were outstanding wind players and instrument makers, emigrated from Venice to England. Dr Lasocki‘s authoritative new book, the first to be devoted to the family, is a minutely researched account of these brothers, their sons (and a daughter) and their grandsons. The first half of the book discusses the everyday affairs of the family - their relationships, religion, property, law suits, finances, and standing in society. Two chapters, one written by Roger Prior, are devoted to Emilia Bassano, whose identification as thedark lady of Shakespeare‘s sonnets is supported by a wealth of evidence. The second half of the book discusses the family‘s musical activities. At the English Court the Bassanos made up a recorder consort that lasted 90 years; they also played in the flute/cornett and shawm/sackbutt consorts. As instrument makers their fame was spread throughout Europe. The book‘s appendixes present information on the Venetian branch of the family and the musical activities of the English branch since 1665.

Download or read book The Early Jews and Muslims of England and Wales written by Elizabeth Caldwell Hirschman and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes that Jews were present in England in substantial numbers from the Roman Conquest forward. Indeed, there has never been a time during which a large Jewish-descended, and later Muslim-descended, population has been absent from England. Contrary to popular history, the Jewish population was not expelled from England in 1290, but rather adopted the public face of Christianity, while continuing to practice Judaism in secret. Crypto-Jews and Crypto-Muslims held the highest offices in the land, including service as archbishops, dukes, earls, kings and queens. Among those proposed to be of Jewish ancestry are the Tudor kings and queens, Queen Elizabeth I, William the Conqueror, and Thomas Cromwell. Documentaton in support of this revisionist history includes DNA studies, genealogies, church records, place names and the Domesday Book.

Download or read book When Scotland Was Jewish written by Elizabeth Caldwell Hirschman and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popular image of Scotland is dominated by widely recognized elements of Celtic culture. But a significant non-Celtic influence on Scotland's history has been largely ignored for centuries? This book argues that much of Scotland's history and culture from 1100 forward is Jewish. The authors provide evidence that many of the national heroes, villains, rulers, nobles, traders, merchants, bishops, guild members, burgesses, and ministers of Scotland were of Jewish descent, their ancestors originating in France and Spain. Much of the traditional historical account of Scotland, it is proposed, rests on fundamental interpretive errors, perpetuated in order to affirm Scotland's identity as a Celtic, Christian society. A more accurate and profound understanding of Scottish history has thus been buried. The authors' wide-ranging research includes examination of census records, archaeological artifacts, castle carvings, cemetery inscriptions, religious seals, coinage, burgess and guild member rolls, noble genealogies, family crests, portraiture, and geographic place names.
