Benjamin Stoddert Ewell : A Biography, Anne W. Chapman
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
This dissertation is a study of the life and career of Benjamin Stoddert Ewell (1810-1894). A grandson of the first United States Secretary of the Navy, Benjamin Stoddert, and son of an old Virginia family, Benjamin Ewell grew up in Prince William County, Virginia, during the early days of the American republic. Although educated at the United States Military Academy, Ewell rejected the military life for a career in college teaching and administration. After holding faculty chairs at Hampden-Sydney College (1839-46) and Washington College (1846-48), Ewell became, in 1848, president pro-tempore of the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, …
The Gospel Of Preservation In Virginia And New England : Historic Preservation And The Regeneration Of Traditionalism, James Michael Lindgren
The Gospel Of Preservation In Virginia And New England : Historic Preservation And The Regeneration Of Traditionalism, James Michael Lindgren
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Historic preservation movements and their philosophies generally have been overlooked by historians as particular reflections of their periods. This is a cultural history, therefore, of two organizations--the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APVA, 1889) and the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities (SPNEA, 1910)--from their establishment through the Progressive era. Since both organizations mirrored the perspectives, class, and culture of their organizers and leaders, this study relies upon the published and unpublished writings of the leading preservationists. Fearing that society had abandoned the traditions associated with their ancestors, they preached a Gospel of Preservation, a message …
Patrician Culture, Public Ritual And Political Authority In Virginia, 1680-1740, Carter L. Hudgins
Patrician Culture, Public Ritual And Political Authority In Virginia, 1680-1740, Carter L. Hudgins
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
During the political squabbles in Virginia that alienated royal governors, burgesses, councilors, and freeholders from one another between 1680 and 1740, middling planters displayed a tendency to ignore the wisdom of their social and economic betters and swayed the colony toward a new political style. When it suited their aspirations, governors, councilors, and burgesses plunged into the business of wooing the freeholders and thus encouraged the electoral ascendancy of the colony's middling men, but at other times they viewed the changes in Virginia's political etiquette suspiciously and objected to what they interpreted as a dangerous trend toward too much popular …
Russian-American Relations In Northeast Asia During The Nineteenth Century, Donald Blinn Wenger
Russian-American Relations In Northeast Asia During The Nineteenth Century, Donald Blinn Wenger
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Why, at the end of the nineteenth century, did the long Russo-American friendship turn into a bitter rivalry? Why was Manchuria prized sufficiently by each to risk jeopardizing this friendship? In answering these questions an attempt is made to view the relationship from both the Russian and American standpoints, since the actions of one, whether economic, political or military, frequently prompted counter-moves from the other.;To obtain a broad perspective the whole century is included. Attention is centered on Northeast Asia, for it was in that region that Russian-American interactions were most numerous and where the expansionist drives of both nations …
