Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Algau family of Eller apparently is one of great antiquity. Quoting from Mr. Eller's letter to this writer, dated 21 April 1957, he says, "In the dark ages, 6th-7th centuries, our era, there lived in Lindenberg in Algau-formerly Lintiberc -then only a dense jungle- powerful giants 3-4 meters tall. They were called teutones and came from Jutland. They moved on gradually during the 8th century, and in the 9th century came the Alamans, who settled down on Bodensee. (Lake Constance) They were of Swedish (Schweban) origin and they in their turn descended from the Germanic race. Single families of the Alamans wandered into Westallgau. These again spread out as early settlers in the old forest regions of that time. One of these settlers with the forename ELLO, and his family, cleared land in an opening of the forest, at the foot of Hirschberg. This clearing became the ancestral seat of the Eller family. (Hirschberg is in the Algau Alps near Bergenz on Lake Constance.) It is true I cannot positively ascertain the genealogy of our forefathers before the beginning of the 1500's because my studies were made very difficult during the war years. In the city archive of St. Gallen (Switzerland), the state archives of Bregenz (Vorarlbert in Austria), and in the state archives in Neuberg on the Danube, are valuable material about the heads of the Dutchy of Altenberg and family, their bondsmen and serfs. Mr. Eller thinks these records would reveal much information if one would take the time and dig it out. Mr. Eller's letter then continues, the real authentic proven founder of our family of Algau is Michael Eller of Unterstein, near Scheidegg (Algau) born in 1630. According to his father he must have been born in Unterstein or in Ellersreute, because the two towns lie only about two kilometers apart. In the middle of the 1500's to the beginning of the 1600's, according to Mr. Eller's letter, one Mathias Eller was living in Ellersreute and Hans Eller was living in Unterstein, while seven others of the name were landlords in the same region. Note (Hook): Mr. Aurel Eller in his letter of 21 April 1957, reported finding the birth record (22 July 1724) of one Christian Eller, second son of one Michael Eller; also of finding a birth record of one Anna Eller, born 1695, daughter of one Melchoir Eller. These names were the same as those of early Eller settlers in Rowan Co., N.C. In another letter to Mr. Wayne M. Eller of Petersburg, VA, Mr. Aurel Eller again stated his belief that the Eller family had its beginning with one CHR. ELLO who, in the 9th century A.D., was living in Hirschberg near Bregans on Lake Constance where he established, out of virgin forest, the ELLER'S CLEARING" that has existed to the present day. In the same letter he stated that the name Henry (Henrich) does not appear in Algau while the name George is often found. In his letter of I June 1957 Mr. Aurel Eller refers to a great Eller family of the Rhineland, also mentions the Eller-Ritter Family whose family seat has been in Dusseldorf for centuries, owning estates and castles as far up the Rhine River as Cologne. An heir of this family was Heinrich Adam von Eller, Lord of Burgau who was given his princely credentials in 1572-77 and married Cecilie von Bongard. It is from one of these Rhineland families that this writer has believed, and confesses he still believes, the Ellers of this genealogy descended but can supply no proof.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The letter dated February 12, 1923, describes the events that first brought his uncle David to Iowa as well as the places his father Harvey moved the family to. The second letter dated May 25, 1923 deals mostly with the issue of slavery and his Harvey's wish to move his family away from it. In the third letter from July 4, 1923, I.C. writes about the shifting climate of Wapello County in the 1860's. One neighbor had to sell the majority of her farm because her husband died in the Civil War. In the other direction he recalls people passing through in wagons bound further west. In 1857, after moving to a new plot of land, deflation hit the family hard. Owing money to a store owner, the family forfeited their cattle with the exception of their milk cow when the man came to collect the debt. The letter finishes by describing how in 1865 I.C. and his brothers would use three yoke of cattle and horses to break-in the Farson farm before the family could begin constructing their house and barn.

Download or read book Inventing American Tradition written by Jack David Eller and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What really happened on the first Thanksgiving? How did a British drinking song become the US national anthem? And what makes Superman so darned American? Every tradition, even the noblest and most cherished, has a history, none more so than in the United States—a nation born with relative indifference, if not hostility, to the past. Most Americans would be surprised to learn just how recent (and controversial) the origins of their traditions are, as well as how those origins are often related to such divisive forces as the trauma of the Civil War or fears for American identity stemming from immigration and socialism. In pithy, entertaining chapters, Inventing American Tradition explores a set of beloved traditions spanning political symbols, holidays, lifestyles, and fictional characters—everything from the anthem to the American flag, blue jeans, and Mickey Mouse. Shedding light on the individuals who created these traditions and their motivations for promoting them, Jack David Eller reveals the murky, conflicted, confused, and contradictory history of emblems and institutions we very often take to be the bedrock of America. What emerges from this sideways take on our most celebrated Americanisms is the realization that all traditions are invented by particular people at particular times for particular reasons, and that the process of “traditioning” is forever ongoing—especially in the land of the free.

Download or read book Uneven Ground written by Ronald D. Eller and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2008-10-24 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This award-winning history examines the politics of progress in America through a close look at industrial development in Appalachia since WWII. Appalachia has played a complex role in the unfolding of American history. Early-twentieth-century critics of modernity saw the region as a remnant of frontier life that should be preserved and protected. However, supporters of material production and technology decried what they saw as a the isolation and backwardness of the region and sought to “uplift” its people through education and industrialization. In Uneven Ground, Ronald D. Eller examines the politics of development in Appalachia while exploring the idea of progress as it has evolved in America. “Passionate, clear, concise, and at times profound,” this volume demonstrates that Appalachia's struggle to overcome poverty, to live in harmony with the land, and to respect the value of community is a truly American story (Chad Berry, author of Southern Migrants, Northern Exiles). Winner of the Appalachian Studies Association’s Weatherford Award and the Southern Political Science Association’s V.O. Key Award
