Cultural Resources Monitoring/Survey Of A Jtf-6 Action, Van Horn, Texas Sector, Frank Winchell, George Brown, Maynard B. Cliff, Sherrian K. Edwards

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

This report presents the results of cultural resources monitoring and survey activities connected with a Department of Defense (DOD) Joint Task Force Six (JTF-6) project in southern Hudspeth and Culberson, western Jeff Davis, and northern Presidio Counties, Texas. These cultural resource activities were prompted by road improvement activities initiated by the U.S. Border Patrol. The road improvement activities were designed to aid the U.S. Border Patrol in their battle against illegal drug trade and smuggling operations along the U.S.-Mexico border. Geo-Marine, Inc. conducted the survey as part of an indefinite delivery contract with the Fort Worth District of the U.S. …

What John Dewey Taught Me, Harriet Furst Simon

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

John Dewey, because of his longevity and productivity, has spawned a cottage industry. Seldom has one man kept so many women respectably employed for so long (we are not prejudiced; we have had a male co-worker now and again). Of course, his editors are not the only ones who have been busy; an increasing number of scholars are churning out books and articles on topics ranging from Dewey and the May Fourth Movement in China to the important women in Dewey's life.

As I thought about the subject of appreciation, it seemed to me that Dewey has educated us in …

Too Much Of A Good Thing?: Review Of The Papers Of George Washington, W. W. Abbot And Dorothy Twohig, Editors; Philander D. Chase And Beverly H. Runge, Associate Editors. Revolutionary War Series, Volume 4: April-June I776, Philander D. Chase, Editor., Charles H. Lesser

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

One hundred and seventy-two pages into this exemplar of many of the best aspects of contemporary historical documentary editing, Philander D. Chase prints George Washington's 29 April 1776 letter to his brother John Augustine Washington. His last letter to his brother had been penned on 31 March, the last date included in the previous volume, and thus this renewal of the correspondence afforded the opportunity to summarize the activities of the first month encompassed in this book's covers. At the beginning of the month, General Washington had been preparing to leave Cambridge for New York after a successful siege had …

Stagg, Jeanne K. Cross, And Susan Holbrook Perdue., Michael E. Steven

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

Few would imagine James Madison as the dreamy, tongue-tied romantic type, yet this description of the Father of the Constitution during his courtship of Dolley Payne Todd is but one of many wonderfully revealing documents that appear in the Congressional series of The Papers of James Madison. The completion of Series I of this edition provides an opportunity to review how well the six volumes document Madison and the history of the early republic under the Constitution.

John Dewey: The Editor's Appreciation, Jo Ann Boydston

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

When John Dewey was born in 1859, there were in this country some men, and a few women, who were philosophers, teachers of philosophy, and students of philosophy, but these people could not teach or study American philosophy because there was no body of thought that could be called "American philosophy." Half a century later, we did have an identifiable "American" philosophy and much that is distinctive about it we owe to John Dewey. In fact, by 1920, when Dewey was sixty-one years old, Morris Raphael Cohen was able to say, "John Dewey is unquestionably the one preeminent figure in …

Making The Illegible Intelligible: Review Of The Letter Book Of James Abercromby, Colonial Agent: I75i-I773. Edited By John C. Van Horne And George Reese., C. James Taylor

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

The letter book along with his other papers and books remained in the possession of the Abercromby family for almost a century after his death. In the early 1870S London booksellers purchased the collection and from there items were sold and dispersed. A note in the letter book dates its presentation by the Virginia Daughters of the American Revolution to the State Library and Archives as 22 February 1919, Jon Kukla's foreword to the edition notes that while the manuscript has been available to scholars for seventy years, its usefulness has been limited because "its scrawled text [is] virtually indecipherable" …

St. Columba, Cassiodorus, And Julian Boyd: Some Lessons To Learn About Metaphor, Frank G. Burke

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

Somewhere, in my picaresque wanderings through the culture palaces of Washington, where I occasionally was assigned the role of Praetorian Guard over the nation's historical treasures, I acquired a copy of a curious speech delivered by Julian Boyd to the meeting of the Society of American Archivists in Annapolis on 13 October 1939.

A Future For Documentary Editions: The Historical Documents Study, Ann D. Gordon

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

No one doubted the wisdom of gathering information about current use of historical sources when the National Historical Publications and Records Commission and the American Council of Learned Societies launched the Historical Documents Study two years ago. The Commission would learn more about the context for its own decisions to support projects that publish and preserve historical documents. True to its mission to lead and educate in matters of the nation's documentary heritage, the Commission would also inform other agencies and individuals responsible for similar decisions affecting historical sources and research.

But a counterclaim disturbed the unanimity. Within and around …

Frank Norris, Decadent Humorist: The 1897 Version Of "The Joyous Miracle", Joseph R. Mcelrath Jr., Gwendolyn Jones

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

The once-popular "Joyous Miracle" is now a distinctly minor short story in the canon of Frank Norris. First given separate publication in England and the United States as a Christmas giftbook in 1906, it was then being recycled for its earning potential as a seasonal offering; for it had already appeared as an 1898 Christmas piece in McClure's Magazine under the title "Miracle Joyeux." Norris's contemporaries held it in high regard: for example, the New Orleans Times-Democrat found the McClure's version a "charming sketch" and praised its author for succeeding with a difficult-to-handle theme-difficult because its featured character was the …

In Search Of The Private George Washington : Review Of David Humphreys' "Life Of General Washington" With George Washington's "Remarks." Edited By Rosemarie Zagarri., Philander D. Chase

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

Did anybody ever see Washington naked?" Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote in 1858. "It is inconceivable. He had no nakedness, but, I imagine, was born with his clothes on and his hair powdered, and made a stately bow on his first appearance in the world." Generations of Americans have viewed "the father of their country" in much the same light. So monumental is the figure of George Washington on the stage of American history, so stoic are the virtues commonly attributed to him, and so stiff and dignified is his persona in death as in life that one can scarcely conceive of …

A Message From The President, David R. Chesnutt

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

Joel Myerson and I have been working together for more than a decade now-drawn together by our common interests in scholarly editing and publishing. We have put together panels and sessions at various professional meetings, worked together on workshops, put together grant proposals, and helped each other in a variety of less formal ways. Our regular luncheons give us a chance to keep up with what's going on in our respective fields, as well as the local scene at our university. They also provide a sounding board for ideas.

The Caddo Indian Village, Jacques Bagur

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

The Kadohadacho, or Great Chiefs, of the Caddo Nation left their home in the Great Bend of the Red River in Arkansas in 1790 because of disease and Osage depredations and moved south, joining a related tribe, the Petit Caddo, on the floodplain of the Red River above present-day Shreveport. In 1800, when the Great Raft began to affect the area, the Caddos moved to higher ground on Sodo Lake (a complex of five lakes that later came to be called Caddo, Clear, Cross, Shifttail, and Soda). They lived there until the early 1840s, when they sold their land to …

An Intermediate Report On The James Bayou Survey, Marion County, Texas: A Search For Caddo Village, Claude Mccrocklin

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

This is a brief report on an archeological survey of James Bayou in East Texas that was organized to find the site of a large Historic Caddo Indian village that was reported to be in the area. Much is known about the village people. They were Kadohadacho Caddo from the Great Bend region of the Red River in Southwest Arkansas who had migrated to the area now known as James Bayou about 1800. The population of the village they established was reported to be near 500 people, and they stayed in the East Texas and Northwest Louisiana area into the …

Native American Integration In 19th Century Anglo-American Society: An Archaeological Perspective From Northeastern Texas, Frank Winchell, David H. Jurney

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

This paper will examine the phenomenon of Native American-Anglo-American integration on the frontier of Northeastern Texas during the 19th century. First, a brief overview of the historic setting will be presented on where and how this integration took place and who were the primary players. Second, we discuss the material cultural manifestations of this interaction, and what problems it presents for interpreting the archaeological record. Finally, we conclude that what have been previously described and defined as typical 19th century Anglo-American frontier homesteads of Northeastern Texas warrant a different interpretive perspective, and in fact, many of these "typical" first wave …
