Book excerpt: Eleven-year-old Samuel was born as Master Hackler’s slave, and working the Kentucky farm is the only life he’s ever known—until one dark night in 1859, that is. With no warning, cranky old Harrison, a fellow slave, pulls Samuel from his bed and, together, they run. The journey north seems much more frightening than Master Hackler ever was, and Samuel’s not sure what freedom means aside from running, hiding, and starving. But as they move from one refuge to the next on the Underground Railroad, Samuel uncovers the secret of his own past—and future. And old Harrison begins to see past a whole lifetime of hurt to the promise of a new life—and a poignant reunion— in Canada. In a heartbreaking and hopeful first novel, Shelley Pearsall tells a suspenseful, emotionally charged story of freedom and family. Trouble Don't Last includes an historical note and map.

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.
Download or read book Reawakening the Public Research University written by Renée Beville Flower and published by University of California eScholarship. This book was released on 2014-03-28 with total page 647 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A core institution in the human endeavor—the public research university—is in transition. As U.S. public universities adapt to a multi-decadal decline in public funding, they risk losing their essential character as a generator, evaluator, and archivist of ideas and as a wellspring of tomorrow’s intellectual, economic, and political leaders. This book explores the core interdependent and coevolving structures of the research university: its physical domain (buildings, libraries, classrooms), administration (governance and funding), and intellectual structures (curricula and degree programs). It searches the U.S. history of the public research university to identify its essential qualities, and generates recommendations that identify the crucial roles of university administration, state government and federal government.
