Excerpt: ... present generation, who encountered great perils and privations in subduing those lands on which their descendants now repose with none to make them afraid. Those who take pleasure in such researches must refer to the original records, which are too voluminous to be published. The reports of the processioners and counters of tobacco plants in this parish for the years 1726, '7, '8, and '9 are curious, as bringing to our minds the former inhabitants of that region of country lying upon the headwaters of the Mattapony and Rappahannock rivers, "even to the great mountains," and including the present counties of Spotsylvania, Culpeper, Rappahannock, and parts of Orange and Green. So full is the enumeration of names, and so minute the description of the country, that one who is familiar with it can people it with a past generation, assigning to many of them their estates, and designating the social circle in which they probably moved. I shall confine myself generally to such extracts from the books of the vestry as tend to illustrate our civil and church history, with an occasional incident throwing light upon the social state, and exhibiting our fathers and mothers, not in the dim outline of general history, but as they appeared to each other, in their own dress and ways and modes of speech. It has been already said that the Governor had fixed the seat of justice at Germanna, a village founded by him, and named from some Germans sent over by Queen Anne, upon whom the General Assembly conferred some peculiar privileges, allowing them to entertain a minister of their own, and exempting them from taxation for ten years. This act of humane and liberal legislation deserves to be held in lasting remembrance. The Rev. Hugh Jones, a cotemporary...

Book John Washington s Civil War

Download or read book John Washington s Civil War written by Crandall Shifflett and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1872, just seven years after his emancipation, a thirty-four-year-old former slave named John Washington penned the story of his life, calling it "Memorys of the Past." One hundred and twenty years later, in the early 1990s, historian Crandall Shifflett stumbled upon Washington's forgotten manuscript at the Library of Congress while researching Civil War Fredericksburg. Over the ensuing decade, Shifflett sought to learn more about this Virginia slave and the people and events he so vividly portrays. John Washington's Civil War presents this remarkable slave narrative in its entirety, together with Shifflett's detailed annotations on the life-changing events Washington records. While joining the canon of better-known slave narratives by Frederick Douglass, Harriet Jacobs, and Solomon Northup, Washington's account illuminates a far different world. The son of a slave woman and an unknown white man, Washington never lived outside the seventy-five-mile radius that included Richmond and Fredericksburg, until his emancipation. His narrative spans his experiences as a household slave, a laborer in the Fredericksburg tobacco factory, and a hotel servant on the eve of the Civil War. He also tells of his bold venture across Union lines and his experiences as a slave under Union officers. Washington's recollections allow for a singular look at the more personal aspects of slave life. Forced attendance at the slaveowner's church, much-anticipated gatherings of neighboring slaves at harvesttime, even a brief episode of courtship among slaves are among the events described in this remarkable narrative. On a broader scale, Washington was a witness to key moments of the Civil War, and his chronicle includes his thoughts about the wider political turmoil surrounding him, including his dramatic account of watching the Union Army mass around Fredericksburg as it prepared to invade the town. An excellent introduction and expert annotations by Shifflett reconstruct Washington's life through his death in 1918 and provide informative historical background and context to Washington's recollections. An unprecedented window into the life of a Virginia bondsman, John Washington's Civil Warcommunicates with real urgency what it meant to be a slave during a period of extreme crisis that sounded the notes of freedom for some and the end of a way of life for others.

Book Noble Powell and the Episcopal Establishment in the Twentieth Century

Download or read book Noble Powell and the Episcopal Establishment in the Twentieth Century written by David Hein and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quintessential man for his own season, Noble Powell (1891-1968) was an episcopal priest and then bishop who epitomized the cultural and ecclesiastical epoch before the tumultuous sixties. This volume, the first biography devoted to a dynamic churchman often referred to as "the last bishop of the old church", fills a major gap in American religious historiography while illuminating the strengths, flaws, and eventual decline of the Protestant establishment in the United States. Deeply influenced by the beliefs and practices of a mix of southern denominations, Powell was raised a Baptist and confirmed (to his family's chagrin) in the Episcopal Church. As parson at the University of Virginia, Powell led a flourishing student ministry before serving successively as rector of Emmanuel Church in Baltimore, dean of the National Cathedral, and bishop of the Diocese of Maryland. Hein sketches the spiritual depth, self-discipline, sense of humor, and personal magnetism that anchored Powell's unwavering commitment to the human side of the church. He shows how Powell's outlook as bishop dovetailed with the prevailing temper of his time and also discusses how Powell's leadership style, marked by patience and an aristocratic civility, diminished in effectiveness amid the upheaval of the 1960s.
