Their journey began in Scandinavia as Norse Men or Vikings then moved to France where they became Normans and invaded England with William the Conqueror. The family resided in County Essex, England for 5 generations before becoming Puritan settlers of the Massachusetts Bay and Connecticut colonies and founders of Hartford, Connecticut. Five generations lived in New England before Aaron Steele traveled the Great Wagon Road south through Virginia's Shenandoah Valley into the Carolinas and Georgia. During their trek, the Steeles and related families of Polks, Andersons, Mavericks, Martins, Crocketts, Skaggses, Smiths, Wheelers, Irelands, Delks, Huntons, Thompsons and Waplers created a tapestry of faith, military and civic service, explored the wilderness frontiers of Connecticut and Appalachian Mountains, panned for gold in Georgia, Colorado and Montana, fought for American independence and the independence of Texas, and pioneered in Kansas and Wyoming. Whether farmers, merchants, soldiers, government leaders, miners, frontiersmen, landed gentry, nobility or land barons, the Steeles and their extended family prospered always seeking freedom and opportunity. This is their story.

But one day a new pig comes to school and starts pointing out all the ways in which Pip is different. Suddenly she doesn’t like any of the same things she used to...the things that made her Pip. A wonderful springboard for conversations with children, at home and in the classroom, about diversity and difference.
Download or read book The True Image written by Daniel W. Patterson and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2012-10-08 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thousand unique gravestones cluster around old Presbyterian churches in the piedmont of the two Carolinas and in central Pennsylvania. Most are the vulnerable legacy of three generations of the Bigham family, Scotch Irish stonecutters whose workshop near Charlotte created the earliest surviving art of British settlers in the region. In The True Image, Daniel Patterson documents the craftsmanship of this group and the current appearance of the stones. In two hundred of his photographs, he records these stones for future generations and compares their iconography and inscriptions with those of other early monuments in the United States, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. Combining his reading of the stones with historical records, previous scholarship, and rich oral lore, Patterson throws new light on the complex culture and experience of the Scotch Irish in America. In so doing, he explores the bright and the dark sides of how they coped with challenges such as backwoods conditions, religious upheavals, war, political conflicts, slavery, and land speculation. He shows that headstones, resting quietly in old graveyards, can reveal fresh insights into the character and history of an influential immigrant group.

Download or read book Owatonna written by Edgar Bruce Wesley and published by . This book was released on 1938 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Owatonna was first published in 1938.This is a model local history, covering the industrial and cultural growth of a unique little city from its founding in 1854 to the present time.Edgar B. Wesley, who was professor of education at the University of Minnesota and author of several books in the field of social studies, has met the exciting standard which is seldom achieved in local history - accuracy without localism.His study traces the rise of Owatonna before the Civil War, and goes into considerable detail as to how it did not succeed in becoming an industrial center until after it found its real success as an agricultural trading center. The author shows how cooperative dairying enabled the city to develop other industries. Another phase that receives extensive treatment is the struggle of Owatonna with its public utilities."In this fascinating account of Owatonna," says Theodore C. Blegen, superintendent of the Minnesota Historical Society, "Dr. Wesley turns the familiar slogan 'Know Your Own Community' into concrete and vivid terms. His treatment is comprehensive, interesting, searching in its interpretation, dynamic in method and spirit, and scholarly from beginning to end. The book should serve as a model and a challenge to local historians in every community of Minnesota, and in fact throughout the country. I heartily recommend this volume to libraries, local historical societies, and history teachers, as well as to all those who are interested in probing into the everyday realities of American life."
