This book was released on 2021-02-12 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even before the 1805 Land Lottery drawing had begun, pressure was mounting for Georgia to gain control over the remaining land between the Oconee and Ocmulgee Rivers. Less than three months after the conclusion of the 1805 Georgia Land Lottery, the United States purchased 2.2 million acres from the Creek Indians. The 1807 Land Lottery was structured almost identically to the 1805 Land Lottery, continuing the district and land lot survey system and repeating the use of a land lottery to distribute the land. The purpose of this book is to document the record of title transfer from the state of Georgia to an individual for each land lot distributed through the land lottery process in 1807.

Each district was to be surveyed into lots, containing 202.5 acres each in Baldwin and Wilkinson counties and 490 acres each in Wayne County. In the end, 4580 land lots were surveyed. All square (or whole) lots, as well as all islands containing more than 100 acres, were included in the land lottery drawing. All fractions were held out and sold at public auction in 1806"--Page [i].

Download or read book Home and Homeland written by Linda L. Layne and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative examination of collective identity in Jordan, Linda Layne challenges long-held Western assumptions that Arabs belong to easily recognizable corporate social groups. Who is a "true" Jordanian? Who is a "true" Bedouin? These questions, according to Layne, are examples of a kind of pigeonholing that has distorted the reality of Jordanian national politics. In developing an alternate approach, she shows that the fluid social identities of Jordan emerge from an ongoing dialogue among tribespeople, members of the intelligentsia Hashemite rulers, and Western social scientists. Many commentators on social identity in the Middle East limit their studies to the village level, but Layne's goal is to discover how the identity-building processes of the locality and of the nation condition each other. She finds that the tribes creates their own cultural "homes" through a dialogue with official nationalist rhetoric and Jordanian urbanites, while King Hussein, in turn, maintains the idea of the "homeland" in many ways that are powerfully influenced by the tribespeople. The identities so formed resemble the shifting, irregular shapes of postmodernist landscapes—but Hussein and the Jordanian people are also beginning to use a classically modernist linear narrative to describe themselves. Layne maintains, however, that even with this change Jordanian identities will remain resistant to all-or-nothing descriptions. Linda L. Layne is Alma and H.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long Island's Gold Coast, more than any other section of the country, has captured the imagination of America. This, in part, is attributable to F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby." The Spinzias' two-volume comprehensive analysis of the North Shore families documents over 1,500 estate owners in a modified "Who's Who" format. Included are 578 photographs of the estates, biographical data on the estate owners and their families, locations of estates using current street references and village designations, estate names, acreage, architects, architectural styles, dates of construction, landscape architects, subsequent owners, location of archival photographs of the estates, and information as to whether mansions are still extant and, if not, the dates of demolition. Cross-referenced in the second-section appendices are estate names, village locations of estates, as well as architectural and landscape commissions. The civic activity and occupation appendices document the contribution of Long Islanders, including statesmen, intelligence agents, financiers, writers and inventors. Maiden names, rehabilitive secondary uses of estates including golf courses which were formerly private estates, motion pictures filmed at estate sites, a general bibliography of the "Gilded Age," and a bibliography specific to individual estate owners, with the location of personal papers, have also been included.

Download or read book Considering the Bush Presidency written by Gary L. Gregg and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2004 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George W. Bush became president under some of the most unusual circumstances in U.S. history. After a contested election in which Bush lost the popular vote, many people felt that he would have difficulty establishing his legitimacy to lead. The events of September 11, 2001 transformed the Bush presidency, as his domestic policy agenda took a back seat to the international fight against terrorism. Considering the Bush Presidency is the first broad-ranging scholarly review and analysis of the George W. Bush presidency. Written by leading political science scholars, it covers such topics as presidential leadership of Congress, public opinion leadership, the symbolic presidency, presidential war powers, the Bush transition, staffing the Bush presidency, executive privilege battles, and Cheney as vice president. It examines the remarkable events and the leadership of an administration that has already become one of the most important to study in the modern era.
Download or read book The Second Or 1807 Land Lottery of Georgia written by S. Emmett Lucas and published by . This book was released on 1968-06 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By: Silas Emmett Lucas, Jr., Orig. Pub. 1968, 170 pages, map, Soft Cover, ISBN #0-89308-020-9. This lottery was one of the smaller lotteries in regards to the number of counties involved. It covered the remainder lands of Wilkinson and Baldwin Counties from which the 1805 lottery originally did not distribute. These two counties were the parent of the following counties: Morgan, Jasper, Putham, Jones, Twiggs, Bleckley, Laurens, Dodge, Wheeler, and Telfair. The original 1968 edition was arranged alphabetically by counties, and then alphabetically by surname, making it extremely difficult to use when searching a given individual or surname. Southern Historical Press has completely revised this book, arranging all persons listed in alphabetical order by surname, making this book now much easier to use. It contains the names of approximately 12,000 fortunate drawers.
