Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Manual of the West Church and Parish in Andover, Massachusetts: With the Complete Roll of the Members of the Church; December Fifth, 1826-1926 Parish, agitation to this end began among the people living in this part of the town. The primary cause of the agitation was the distance of many of the people from the meeting-house. Ou June 5, 1771, the ties with the venerable Reverend Samuel Phillips, the minister of the South Church, were broken by his death, at the age of eighty-one years, after a ministry with the church of sixty years. Moreover, in September of that year, the parish began to discuss the building of a new meeting house. To many persons living in the West part of the town, who naturally were unwilling to be taxed for a new place of worship located inconveniently to them, it seemed a favorable time for securing a division of the parish. Their proposals, however, did not meet with favor, though, to preserve harmony, it was agreed to postpone for the space of ten years the erection of the new house. The Revolu tionary War ensued, which was a trying period for the churches. After twelve years had passed, the question of a new house of worship came up again in 1784. Then for three years the matter was under discussion. F inally, in December, 1787, the plan of building near the old site was decisively settled. This incited the people of the West part of the town to action. The following year, Mr. Isaac Osgood and others took the matter to the General Court, petitioning that body for the division they desired. Through the strong influence of Judge Samuel Phillips, who with others was chosen by the parish to oppose the granting of the petition, the petition ers were obliged to withdraw their petition and both the House and the Senate gave consent for them to do so. In order to satisfy the disaffected and preserve both harmony and unity, the parish afterward voted to discharge them from all obliga tions and taxes for the building of the new meeting-house, and yet to allow them the privilege of seats, provided they shall surcease all opposition to the measures for building the meeting-house, and shall continue their union and harmony with the parish as it subsisted before the measures taken by them for building a meeting house. This arrangement put to rest for many years all discussion of a division. The question apparently did not come up again until in 1826, in one of the closing years of the pastorate of Justin Edwards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholarly essays on the achievements of female artists working in and inspired by the American South Looking back at her lengthy career just four years before her death, modernist painter Nell Blaine said, "Art is central to my life. Not being able to make or see art would be a major deprivation." The Virginia native's creative path began early, and, during the course of her life, she overcame significant barriers in her quest to make and even see art, including serious vision problems, polio, and paralysis. And then there was her gender. In 1957 Blaine was hailed by Life magazine as someone to watch, profiled alongside four other emerging painters whom the journalist praised "not as notable women artists but as notable artists who happen to be women." In Central to Their Lives, twenty-six noted art historians offer scholarly insight into the achievements of female artists working in and inspired by the American South. Spanning the decades between the late 1890s and early 1960s, this volume examines the complex challenges these artists faced in a traditionally conservative region during a period in which women's social, cultural, and political roles were being redefined and reinterpreted. The presentation—and its companion exhibition—features artists from all of the Southern states, including Dusti Bongé, Anne Goldthwaite, Anna Hyatt Huntington, Ida Kohlmeyer, Loïs Mailou Jones, Alma Thomas, and Helen Turner. These essays examine how the variables of historical gender norms, educational barriers, race, regionalism, sisterhood, suffrage, and modernism mitigated and motivated these women who were seeking expression on canvas or in clay. Whether working from studio space, in spare rooms at home, or on the world stage, these artists made remarkable contributions to the art world while fostering future generations of artists through instruction, incorporating new aesthetics into the fine arts, and challenging the status quo. Sylvia Yount, the Lawrence A. Fleischman Curator in Charge of the American Wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a foreword to the volume. Contributors: Sara C.
