Catherine De Medici Her Influence On France, Catherine Mary Croke

Bachelors’ Theses

In writing this thesis my aim will be to state the true facts as far as that lies within my ability. To accomplish this I will have to surmount obstacles of no small dimensions. In order to understand the difficulties which surround my efforts in this direction, we have only to recall how difficult it is to arrive at the knowledge of true and real facts in matters of everyday occurrences.

An Analysis Of The Social Philosophies Of Brigham Young And John Calvin: With Special Reference To Their Similarities As They Were Expressed Through The Utah And Geneva Theocracies, Wesley P. Lloyd

Theses and Dissertations

Brigham Young was an American product of the nineteenth century. John Calvin was a European product of the sixteenth century. Each of these men left definite impressions upon world history. Of the two, Calvin is more widely understood and better known, but we should remember that the element of time was in his favor.

An examination of the lives of these two men indicates definite parallels, and their teachings show many views in common. Both were spiritual as well as temporal leaders, and each succeeded in gaining the interest of the world in his particular time. Just as the attention …

A Short History Of The Labors And Accomplishments Of The Protestant Missionaries In Hawaii, Margaret Adsit

Missionary Activities Among The Cherokee Indians, 1757-1838, William Ward Crouch

Masters Theses

Introduction: Any historical account of early Indian missions must of necessity find its background in the prevailing political and religious conditions in Europe at the time of the discovery, the exploratlon, and the colonization of the American continent. At the end of the fifteenth century the Commercial Revolution broke upon Europe, and the discovery of America came as a direct result of this revolution. Throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the Catholic nations of southern and southwestern Europe were exploring and colonizing parts of both North and South America, excepting the Atlantic coast of North America from Florida to the …

The Confederate Government And The Unionists Of East Tennessee, Beatrice L. Garrett

Masters Theses

Preface: The events with which this thesis deals left behind them a heritage of hatred, bitterness, and prejudice. In the years immediately following the Civil War, those persons who were by birth or by nature "Northern" in sentiment stubbornly believed that the Confederate government overstepped the bounds of civilized warfare - that it was unnecessarily and maliciously cruel to the Unionists of East Tennessee. On the other hand, those of "Southern" sentiment despised the East Tennessee Unionists as traitors to their state and friends - as persons wholly untrustworthy and treacherous.

I have not sought to either condemn or justify …

The Longbow In English History, Rosalind M. Taylor

Graduate Thesis Collection

The possession of a longbow around which cling the mysteries and the triumphs of its English predecessors presages an interest in its history and possibilities, so it is not strange when in the course of my studies at Butler University I was called upon to select a thesis subject that I found inspiration in my own bow. There is music in the twang of its bow-string; there is poetry in its lines. Every bow has its own personality; every arrow its own peculiar perversities.
