Book excerpt: 2008 United States Postal System’s Rita Lloyd Moroney Award In the era before airplanes and e-mail, how did immigrants keep in touch with loved ones in their homelands, as well as preserve links with pasts that were rooted in places from which they voluntarily left? Regardless of literacy level, they wrote letters, explains David A. Gerber in this path-breaking study of British immigrants to the U.S. and Canada who wrote and received letters during the nineteenth century. Scholars have long used immigrant letters as a lens to examine the experiences of immigrant groups and the communities they build in their new homelands. Yet immigrants as individual letter writers have not received significant attention; rather, their letters are often used to add color to narratives informed by other types of sources. Authors of Their Lives analyzes the cycle of correspondence between immigrants and their homelands, paying particular attention to the role played by letters in reformulating relationships made vulnerable by separation. Letters provided sources of continuity in lives disrupted by movement across vast spaces that disrupted personal identities, which depend on continuity between past and present. Gerber reveals how ordinary artisans, farmers, factory workers, and housewives engaged in correspondence that lasted for years and addressed subjects of the most profound emotional and practical significance.

Book Three River Valleys Called Home

Download or read book Three River Valleys Called Home written by Vicki Holmes and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2019-08-14 with total page 681 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes people leave their home with the hopes of finding something better. Sometimes they are forced out and chased away. Philip Eamer and his wife, Catrina, experience both in this true story of immigrants searching for a place to call home. The Eamer family’s story begins in 1755 as they leave the Rhine Valley for a better life in America. Once there, they move to the Mohawk River Valley in New York, where they build a home and raise 10 children. Despite the effects of the French Indian War, the Eamers flourish and happily find their lives intertwined with their neighbours and fellow immigrants for almost two decades. However, no family’s story occurs in isolation, and eventually the Eamers find themselves at the mercy of the political and historic events of the American Revolution. Choosing to side with the Crown, they are forced to flee their home at the hands of neighbours and soldiers. What follows next is representative of many Loyalists’ experiences. The Eamer family is forced to make a 370-km (230-mile) trek to Montreal, where they must live in a refugee camp for three years before finally being granted their own land in the St. Lawrence Valley for their loyalty to the King. Told by one of Philip and Catrina’s descendants, Three River Valleys Called Home is historical fiction based on a real family and true events. Although some of the interactions and dialogue may be imagined, they are firmly planted in the harsh realities that many immigrants faced and pay tribute to the true grit of the settlers who built North America. While this book will have special meaning for the thousands of descendants of the Eamer family (and the other families who made up their community), their story will touch anyone with a history of immigration in their family tree.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... Rev. Richard Dewitt. The Rev. Richard DeWitt, while pastor of the Reformed Church of Wallkill, N. Y., was unanimously called to the Flatbush church, March 28th, 1889, and was installed Tuesday, May 2ist. The first year's report to Classis says: "The Sabbath services have good and increasing attendance, and the Sunday night prayer meetings are largely attended. Eight have confessed Christ. A good spirit prevails in the congregation." At our meeting of the consistory, the last of the year, no elders were present owing to inclement weather. One candidate for membership presented himself and was received on confession by the rest of the consistory present, "because," as the pastor wisely and wittily remarks, "the reception of members is more important than constitutions." April 6th, 1891, the consistory resolved to adopt The Church Hymnary. May 15th, Jacob Snyder, C. Longendyke and Titus Osterhoudt were appointed a committee to contract for ceiling of Georgia pine under the gallery, which was done. June 24th, 1891, paper for the church was selected and Howard Burhans was empowered to purchase it and put it on. Consistory's report to Classis of 1892, gives eighteen received on confession, and states that "more are taking part in our prayer meetings, and hence we have larger attendance and more interest." Report of 1893, says: "The Christian Endeavor Society is growing, and the young are taking more interest in church matters." The spring of 1896, the consistory evidently thought that they should observe Arbor Day, and so they appointed E. L. Griffin, Elliot Griffin, Charles Cramer and William Cheshire to plant trees around the church. The domine's family appear to have constituted themselves a standing committee to plant trees and shrubs to...

Book Dividing the Faith

  • Author : Richard J Boles

  • Release : 2020-12-29
  • ISBN : 1479801674
  • Pages : 304 pages

Download or read book Dividing the Faith written by Richard J Boles and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncovers the often overlooked participation of African Americans and Native Americans in early Protestant churches Phillis Wheatley was stolen from her family in Senegambia, and, in 1761, slave traders transported her to Boston, Massachusetts, to be sold. She was purchased by the Wheatley family who treated Phillis far better than most eighteenth-century slaves could hope, and she received a thorough education while still, of course, longing for her freedom. After four years, Wheatley began writing religious poetry. She was baptized and became a member of a predominantly white Congregational church in Boston. More than ten years after her enslavement began, some of her poetry was published in London, England, as a book titled Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. This book is evidence that her experience of enslavement was exceptional. Wheatley remains the most famous black Christian of the colonial era. Though her experiences and accomplishments were unique, her religious affiliation with a predominantly white church was quite ordinary. Dividing the Faith argues that, contrary to the traditional scholarly consensus, a significant portion of northern Protestants worshipped in interracial contexts during the eighteenth century. Yet in another fifty years, such an affiliation would become increasingly rare as churches were by-and-large segregated. Richard Boles draws from the records of over four hundred congregations to scrutinize the factors that made different Christian traditions either accessible or inaccessible to African American and American Indian peoples. By including Indians, Afro-Indians, and black people in the study of race and religion in the North, this research breaks new ground and uses patterns of church participation to illuminate broader social histories. Overall, it explains the dynamic history of racial integration and segregation in northern colonies and states.
