The Alamo Restoration And Conservation Project: Excavations At The South Transept, Barbara A. Meissner

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

In January 1995, the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, as custodians of the Alamo Shrine for the state of Texas, contracted with the Center for Archaeological Research of The University of Texas at San Antonio to excavate and/or monitor excavation of approximately 29 square meters outside and 11 square meters inside the south wall of the south transept of the Alamo church. The excavations were made necessary by a plan to insert metal plates into the walls of the Alamo near the foundation, to prevent further damage being caused by groundwater in the lower part of the walls of …

Archeological Testing At Pflugerville Bottling Works, Travis County, Texas, John W. Clark Jr.

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

Archival research and archeological test excavations in connection with proposed development of Dessau Road in north Travis County revealed the presence of the Pflugerville Bottling Works near the north end of the project. The plant was established in 1914 and moved to Austin in 1927. Archeological excavations exposed a midden, paved area and filled brick cistern but did not expose evidence of the building. Because of the lack of an associated building, those parts of the site within the proposed right-of-way are not considered eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.

Rufus Jones And Quaker Unity, Hugh Barbour

Truth's Bright Embrace: Essays and Poems in Honor of Arthur O. Roberts

The Society of Friends, for Rufus Jones as for Arthur Roberts, remains a single movement, called by God to a special role in American Christianity and world history. Both men have also been realistically aware of human limitations and diversity. Yet they have seen God's power, shared in meetings for worship as well as in the religious experience of individuals, able to change human society and transcend human ideas and institutions.

Anthony Benezet, The True Champion Of The Slave, Irv A. Brendlinger

Truth's Bright Embrace: Essays and Poems in Honor of Arthur O. Roberts

Anthony Benezet was the greatest eighteenth century influence on the ending of British slavery and the slave trade. While names such as Wilberforce, Sharp and Clarkson ring with familiarity as champions of the slave, it is Benezet who occupies the position of foundational influence on these men and the entire cause. To substantiate this claim I shall briefly introduce his life and examine his antislavery activities and influences. However, it is most fitting to begin with his death and the public response to it.

Book Review: That Half-Barbaric Twang: The Banjo In American Popular Culture, William Jolliff

Faculty Publications - Department of English

Excerpt: "These two recent studies demonstrate the growing academic interest in the history and development of the banjo, and both make intriguing-if sometimes difficult- reading for banjo devotees.

In the years just before the Civil War, the banjo was popularly associated with African-American slaves and with their black-faced imitators, professional minstrel show players. But it was also a popular instrument among white amateur musicians-so popular, in fact, that a single banjo tournament in New York City in 1857 drew over 3000 fans to support their neighborhood favorites. Beginning at this point, Karen Linn's That Half-Barbaric Twang studies the pubic perception …

Taylor University: The First 150 Years, William C. Ringenberg

Heritage Books and Booklets

"It is difficult to see any need for Taylor during its first years," the author contends. The sparsely populated state of Indiana in 1846 already had several Protestant colleges and a state university, and each of these institutions professed a Christian philosophical orientation. But the need for the school "up beyond the village border" soon became clear.

The intellectual revolution at the turn-of-the-century cracked the spiritual foundations of major universities and even many church-related colleges, and it caused the Christian world view to lose its place of dominance.

The subsequent de-humanizing of education and the inability of secular higher education …

few settled in the cities, others moved on to the lumber

World War Ii: On The Home Front - M. Francis Coulson Interview, Jenny Sonnenberg

Adams County History

Americans love anniversaries. The fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War has afforded citizens an opportunity to remember with pride the great men and events of a war that saved the world from totalitarian tyranny. Happily, memories of World War II have not been restricted to recalling battlefield heroics or diplomatic intrigues. Across the United States, public libraries and local historical societies have commemorated the Home Front during the war years with exhibits that recapture the texture of life on farms, factories, in classrooms, and at home during what Studs Terkel has labeled "the Good War." These …
