An Archaeological And Historical Assessment Of The Vista Verde South Project, San Antonio, Texas, Joseph H. Labadie

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

The Vista Verde South project area has borne witness to much of the economic development that has occurred in downtown San Antonio since the early years of Texas' statehood. As with many other areas of San Antonio, economic interests stimulated early development. Following the Civil War, this area became an integral part in San Antonio's flourishing freight hauling and transportation network. By the turn of the 20th century, the area had developed into an ethnically diverse, middle-class neighborhood, while just a few blocks away, San Antonio's infamous Red Light District thrived. The Great Depression of 1929 struck a critical blow …

Archaeological Testing Of Site 41bl260 Bell County, Texas, Wayne C. Young

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

Testing of Site 41BL260 along the proposed FM 93 realignment in Be11 County, Texas was undertaken in December 1987 to determine the site's eligibility for inclusion within the National Register of Historic Places, and to determine site depth, cultural context, and archaeological significance. The site is located in a plowed field near the eastern outskirts of Belton, Texas. Testing results indicate that the site is limited to the present plow zone and that no intact cultural deposits remain within the proposed right-of-way. Evidence recovered does not support a determination of eligibility for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.

The site is located along a hill slope overlooking Buffalo Creek and consists of a shallow, low-density cultural deposit which may have been impacted by agricultural activities in the past. The exact site limit could not be determined due to heavy vegetation covering most of the area. …

Archaeological Testing Of Sites 41cj75 And 41cj76 Comanche County, Texas, Wayne C. Young

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

Archaeological testing of two sites in western Comanche County, 41CJ75 and 41CJ76, by the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation (SDHPT) during April 1987 has shown that both sites are shallow, low density, prehistoric campsites. Portions of both sites outside the right-of-way of SH 36 have been impacted by cultivation and site integrity has been lost. Those portions within the right-of-way are located within steep backslopes which made testing difficult. Site 41CJ75 was found to be only 10 cm deep except where the SDHPT had placed recent fill on the site. Site 41CJ76 was located along a very steep …

Emancipators, Protectors, And Anomalies: Free Black Slaveowners In Virginia, Philip J. Schwarz

History Publications

Free black ownership of slaves, which did exist in Virginia, shows that opportunity of a kind was open to some free people of color, but as the slave society of Virginia grew older and larger, it was an increasingly limited opportunity. When ownership of bondspeople by free people of color is placed into the context of the white supremacist and pro slavery laws and society of Virginia, however, it stands out as all the more remarkable as well as anomalous.

White Chief: The Story Of Edward H. Davis, Charles Mitchell Hudgins

Theses

With Mother Earth for a couch, To sleep under the fragrant conifers; To breath the purity of the ranges; To watch the procession of the constellations; To listen to the music of the wind harps of the sierras; To leave care, worry, responsibilities behind us; To be in harmony with nature at all times; To live simply, to think severely, the love deeply, to be content; And to learn patience and tolerance from the mighty mountains; That me thinks is to be happy.

Dark Deeds In A Sunny Land: Or Blacks And Whites In North-West Australia, J. B. Gribble

Research outputs pre 2011

The frontier of European settlement in the colony of Western Australia a hundred years ago stretched way beyond the south-western corner to the far north, and pastoralists were pushing steadily inland wherever the countryside offered promise of a living to be gained. Only the presence of Aborigines stood between them and the land they sought. On a frontier as far from the colonial capital as this where governmental representatives were few or absent, the newcomers were largely free to deal with the Aboriginal presence in their own way. Whether relations between the original inhabitants and the invaders were mostly peaceful …
