Dogs On The Frontier: Human-Canine Relationships In Central Kentucky, 1770-1792, Andrew P. Patrick
Dogs On The Frontier: Human-Canine Relationships In Central Kentucky, 1770-1792, Andrew P. Patrick
Andrew P Patrick
Dogs played utilitarian roles, as hunting partners, sentries and trackers that provided assistance in the difficult physical landscape, but they also filled setters’ less obvious, psychological needs by serving as companions or by helping humans assert their dominance over the threats posed by the natural world.
Wasting Paradise: The Destruction Of The Bison On The Kentucky Frontier, Andrew P. Patrick
Wasting Paradise: The Destruction Of The Bison On The Kentucky Frontier, Andrew P. Patrick
Andrew P Patrick
Ultimately, the buffalo were casualties of the imposition of a new ecological order on the landscape as it underwent a transformation from hunting ground to agricultural system in the Euro-American model.

Introduction To "The Chosen People: A Study Of Jewish History From The Time Of The Exile Until The Revolt Of Bar Kocheba", James M. Donovan
James M. Donovan
Allegro documents a vivid example of the manner in which a project to define oneself in opposition to the Other inevitably generates antagonism. But a thorough understanding of the genesis of anti-Semitism requires more than mapping the tensions that arise between co-existing communities. It must also explain the fear we find associated with anti-Semitism, and how these emotional presumptions are communicated to populations that have little direct contact with members of the Jewish faith. Allegro does not take us as far as this, and thus the account is unfinished. He has perhaps brought us as far as documentary texts will …
Before There Was Bluegrass: Central Kentucky Prior To European Settlement, Andrew P. Patrick
Before There Was Bluegrass: Central Kentucky Prior To European Settlement, Andrew P. Patrick
Andrew P Patrick
By drawing on scientific, archaeological and historical sources, this study aims to trace the dramatic changes in the landscape that occurred before American settlers arrived to create an “agroecosystem” geared toward sustaining and enriching a growing populace. What emerges is a new periodization of central Kentucky’s ecological history. The landscape was not a static background factor passively awaiting European arrival; instead it underwent multiple transformations due to the changing interactions of human and natural influences.
Built On Black Backs: Inner Bluegrass Agriculture, 1850-1878, Andrew P. Patrick
Built On Black Backs: Inner Bluegrass Agriculture, 1850-1878, Andrew P. Patrick
Andrew P Patrick
This study supports and builds on historical literature on antebellum agriculture in the Inner Bluegrass by providing a greater emphasis on the central role played by black slaves. It goes further to examine the transition from a slave to a free society and the choices made by emancipated African Americans in the early years of this transition. The overall conclusion, that African Americans were central to Inner Bluegrass agriculture, through their labor and their choices, applies equally to the antebellum and postbellum eras.

Working Toward A "Shared Authority" In The Discipline And Content Of Public Hlstory: A Case Study, Ruth E. Bryan
Working Toward A "Shared Authority" In The Discipline And Content Of Public Hlstory: A Case Study, Ruth E. Bryan
Ruth E. Bryan
This paper explores the meaning of “public history” using Michael Frisch’s concept of a “shared authority” (A Shared Authority, 1990) through a case study of the reviews of two edited and published oral histories, Outside the Magic Circle: The Autobiography of Virginia Foster Durr (ed. Hollinger F. Barnard, 1985) and All is Never Said: The Narrative of Odette Harper Hines (ed. Judith Rollins, 1995). The result is that although history can be produced by historians with the public and about the public, public history cannot be truly an authoritative history (making explicit connections between facts, narrative, and the purpose of …
A New Concept Of "History": A Dialogue Between Reinhart Koselleck And Chela Sandoval, Ruth E. Bryan
A New Concept Of "History": A Dialogue Between Reinhart Koselleck And Chela Sandoval, Ruth E. Bryan
Ruth E. Bryan
This paper explore the meaning and conception of “history” as used by Chela Sandoval in her article “U.S. Third World Feminism: The Theory and Method of Oppositional Consciousness in the Postmodern World” (1991) and Reinhart Koselleck in his book of essays, Futures Past (1985). For both writers, "history” is based in the relationship of past experience to future expectations. However, for Koselleck, “history” contains the expectation of positive progress. Thus, in his conception, all people have the same general experience (a conception of the past), therefore we all conceptualize history in the same way, therefore we are all equally happy …
