Download or read book Our Roots Run Deep as Ironweed written by Shannon Elizabeth Bell and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivated by a deeply rooted sense of place and community, Appalachian women have long fought against the damaging effects of industrialization. In this collection of interviews, sociologist Shannon Elizabeth Bell presents the voices of twelve Central Appalachian women, environmental justice activists fighting against mountaintop removal mining and its devastating effects on public health, regional ecology, and community well-being. Each woman narrates her own personal story of injustice and tells how that experience led her to activism. The interviews--many of them illustrated by the women's "photostories"--describe obstacles, losses, and tragedies. But they also tell of new communities and personal transformations catalyzed through activism. Bell supplements each narrative with careful notes that aid the reader while amplifying the power and flow of the activists' stories. Bell's analysis outlines the relationship between Appalachian women's activism and the gendered responsibilities they feel within their families and communities. Ultimately, Bell argues that these women draw upon a broader "protector identity" that both encompasses and extends the identity of motherhood that has often been associated with grassroots women's activism. As protectors, the women challenge dominant Appalachian gender expectations and guard not only their families but also their homeplaces, their communities, their heritage, and the endangered mountains that surround them. 30% of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to organizations fighting for environmental justice in Central Appalachia.

Download or read book My Father Daniel Boone written by Neal O. Hammon and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2013-04-06 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most famous figures of the American frontier, Daniel Boone clashed with the Shawnee and sought to exploit the riches of a newly settled region. Despite Boone's fame, his life remains wrapped in mystery.The Boone legend, which began with the publication of John Filson's The Adventures of Col. Daniel Boone and continued through modern times with Fess Parker's Daniel Boone television series, has become a hopeless mix of fact and fiction. Born in 1819, archivist Lyman Draper was a tireless collector of oral history and is responsible for much of what we do know about Boone. Particularly interested in frontier history, Draper conducted interviews with the famous and the obscure and collected thousands of manuscripts (he walked hundreds of miles through the South to save historical materials during the Civil War). In an 1851 visit with Boone's youngest son, Nathan, and Nathan's wife, Olive, Draper produced over three hundred pages of notes that became the most important source of information about Daniel. The interviews provide a wealth of accurate, first-hand information about Boone's years in Kentucky, his capture by Indians, his defense of Fort Boonesboro, his lengthy hunting expeditions, and his final years in Missouri. My Father, Daniel Boone is an engaging account of one of America's great pioneers, in which Nathan makes a point of separating fact from fiction. From explaining the methods his father used to track game to detailing how land speculation and legal problems from title claims caused Boone to leave Kentucky and take up residence farther west, Nathan Boone's portrait of his father brings a crucial period in frontier history to life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BRIEF SYNOPSIS GOD BLEW, AND THEY WERE SCATTERED, BOOK III The continuing saga of the Taelmann (Tallman) family finds young William Tallman in the Oley Valley of Pennsylvania, some fifty miles from Philadelphia, where he shall remain from 1740 until 1780. There, circa 1742, he marries Anne Lincoln. Anne is the daughter of Mordecai Lincoln II, a land baron and ironmaster, and first wife Hannah Salter, the daughter and granddaughter of a powerful New Jersey political family; destined to become the great-great grandparents of the nation’s 16th president. Although William and Anne would have eleven children, after years of struggle the only child who would survive to adulthood would be their second child, Benjamin. Their trials are further complicated by the 1736 death of Mordecai, which had left his second wife, the former Mary Robeson, widowed with three young boys to rear alone. When she decides to remarry, William is drawn into a contract, devised to protect the inheritance of Mordecai’s sons, wherein he agrees to relinquish fifteen years of his life tethered to the yoke of the Lincoln legacy. He would not be freed from that promise until 1757, when the youngest of Anne’s half-brothers reached the age of twenty-one. In 1765 the immigration of his dearest friend and brother-in-law, “Virginia John” Lincoln, to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, brings a restlessness for William, which is quelled only by realizing an earlier ambition. 1768-80 finds William Tallman as the proprietor of an “Inn” in Reading, Pennsylvania, located approximately ten miles from his newly constructed stone residence, built on the site of the old Lincoln log house, on the banks of Amity’s Schuylkill River. Then, as Colonists can no longer deny that they are at war with England, in 1779, with an attack on Georgia’s Savannah, Thomas Jefferson, the governor of Virginia, calls for the enlistment of all able-bodied men. Answering the `Patriot Cause’ of the American Revolution, William and Anne’s son, Benjamin, now the husband of Dinah Boone, and the father of seven surviving children, joins De Best’s Troops of the First Partisan Legion, leaving his father to cope with matters in Amity Township, and the Inn in Reading. After the war, Benjamin returns to his family, immigrants to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, where he and his father, William Tallman, establish plantations, comparable to that of “Virginia John,” i.e., Anne’s brother, Benjamin’s uncle, and William’s brother-in-law. The Linville Creek Baptist Church is the heart of the community, where Deacons John Lincoln, Jr. and Benjamin Tallman, supported by his wife, the former Dinah Boone, cousin of Daniel, become pillars of that admirable institution. There, also, Ben and Dinah’s progeny become acquainted with the Harrison family, founders of Harrisonburg, Virginia – relationships which, ultimately, result in the marriages of five of their children: three daughters and two sons. Then, with the turn of the century, now president, Thomas Jefferson begins a westward movement. Land offered at $2 per acre begins the “Western Fever.” A tide of settlers flow out onto Zane’s Trace, the trail that will deliver them to Ohio, a state in the unbroken wilderness of the Northwest Territory. There, as settlers, they will begin anew the task of settling another frontier, as the nation pushes ever westward toward the Pacific.
