Download or read book The 1910 Slocum Massacre written by E. R. Bills and published by True Crime. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late July 1910, a shocking number of African Americans in Texas were slaughtered by white mobs in the Slocum area of Anderson County and the Percilla-Augusta region of neighboring Houston County. The number of dead surpassed the casualties of the Rosewood Massacre in Florida and rivaled those of the Tulsa Riots in Oklahoma, but the incident--one of the largest mass murders of blacks in American history--is now largely forgotten. Investigate the facts behind this harrowing act of genocide in E.R. Bills's compelling inquiry into the Slocum Massacre.

Book excerpt: From its roots in the unbroken wilderness of central East Texas, Anderson County has overcome many adversities to become the crossroads of East Texas. In the 1830s, rugged pioneers came to the fertile Trinity River Valley to carve out a place for themselves from the untamed country. These pioneers began a settlement along a stream about 10 miles east of the Trinity River in what would become Anderson County. Other families joined their effort, and Fort Houston was soon built in 1835-1836 to protect settlers from the dangers inherent to the wild frontier. Lost in the passage of time, many communities no longer exist. Today the principal towns are Palestine, Frankston, and Elkhart, but many other communities contribute to the quality of life across the county.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Texas Official Historical Markers are small, durable monuments inscribed with commemorative texts authorized by the Texas Historical Commission (THC). This study analyzes the spatial, temporal, and thematic patterns of Texas markers to explore their characteristics and significance within the broader framework of commemoration in the United States and commemoration in general. The data used in this study consist of more than sixteen thousand markers and two million words, which I analyzed with an interdisciplinary methodology that combines corpus linguistics, narratology, and Geographic Information Science. After a long preprocessing stage, which is described in the Introduction, the analysis began with a study of the marker's spatial, temporal, and thematic patterns. These patterns are in significant part determined by the celebration of the anniversaries of the Texas Revolution (1836) and the Civil War (1861-1865). In terms of themes, the most notable change in Texan practices of commemoration is the transition from war to peace, which occurred during the 1960s and 1970s. In terms of location, markers tend to be concentrated in urban areas. The following chapter is dedicated to topics of race and ethnicity. The terms "indian" and "mexican" are particularly loaded with negative connotations, while other groups are generally described in positive or neutral sentiments, or ignored. Finally, I examined the materiality of the Texas markers. Historical markers of the type used in Texas are smaller than most other commemorative facilities (e.g., statues and monuments) and are subject to frequent relocations and text edits. A comparison of Texan materiality (state) to Germany (country) and Seoul (city) reveals both similarities and differences between these programs. Overall, results indicate that the uniqueness of Texas stems from the interaction between diverse identity groups in a frontier borderland, while its commemorative patterns fit into a broader national narrative. This study contributes to the geographies of commemoration by demonstrating how to deal with "big data" using an inductive approach.
