Disparate Cultures In Contact: Review Of The Brainerd Journal: A Mission To The Cherokees, 1817-1823, Ed. Joyce B. Phillips, Paul Gary Phillips, And Philip Viles., Rowena Mcclinton
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
An important primary source for Cherokeer culture, the Brainerd Journal: A Mission to the Cherokees, 1817-1823, is composed of notes written almost daily by two New England missionaries, Cyrus Kingsbury and Ard Hoyt. Their contribution to Cherokee history is valuable because, other than government accounts that parallel this same era, little literature survives about these crucial years preceding forced removal in 1838-39.

Mediocrity In Paradise: Review Of Mediocrity In Bad Colonists: The South Seas Letters Of Vernon Lee Walker & Louis Becke, Ed. Nicholas Thomas And Richard Eves., Therese Weber
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
It is common for documentary editors to defend the writings with which they are dealing as important in some historical or social sense. If the author of the work is famous, or the document very old, such a defense is easy. For less well known or more recent individuals, the editor will present a case for publication: the style of the writing is remarkable, or the documents bear witness to significant events, or they have value because the writer belonged to a particular, perhaps marginalized, section of society. Nicholas Thomas and Richard Eves, the editors of the letters of Vernon …
Explorations In Class And Gender In The Old South: Review Of The Confessions Of Edward Isham: A Poor White Life Of The South, Ed. Charles C. Bolton And Scott P. Culclasure., James M. Denham
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
The two lives depicted in these accounts represent two dramatically different versions of life in the Old South. As the privileged daughter of a well-to-do slaveholder, Cornelia Jones Pond of Liberty County, Georgia, encountered. none of the hardships and experiences of Edward Isham-who represented a class of people that contemporaries and historians have labeled "poor white." Pond's world was a place of supportive parents, balls, dashing suitors, and loyal servants. Edward Isham's world, on the other hand, was one of bad whiskey, knives, firearms, and poverty. Their lives offer two striking contrasts of white experiences in the antebellum South.
The Early Republic's Other Frontiers: Review Of Ethan Allen And His Kin: Correspondence, 1772-1819, Ed. John J. Duffy, With Ralph H. Orth, J. Kevin Graffagnino, And Michael A. Bellesiles., William C. Digiacomantonio
The Early Republic's Other Frontiers: Review Of Ethan Allen And His Kin: Correspondence, 1772-1819, Ed. John J. Duffy, With Ralph H. Orth, J. Kevin Graffagnino, And Michael A. Bellesiles., William C. Digiacomantonio
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
On May 1775, Ethan Alien wrote to the Albany (N.Y.) Committee of Correspondence one of the most exciting letters, not only in this two-volume edition of selected Alien Family correspondence, but arguably in the entire annals of American military and political history. Only the day before, he had led two hundred Vermont and Massachusetts militiamen to capture the British fortress of Ticonderoga in what some consider the colonists' first offensive action of the Revolutionary War. Members of the Second Continental Congress had not yet even convened when Allen demanded the fort's surrender jointly in their name and that of the …

Reading Space As Time In Great Plains Recollective Architecture, Paul A. Olson
Reading Space As Time In Great Plains Recollective Architecture, Paul A. Olson
Department of English: Faculty Publications
It is a long way from Black Elk's tipi to the Stuart building. Clearly most cultures and periods impose one or more narrative plots on time and space (I have written of four that were part of the recent past of this state). It may be that we will need soon to return again to a celebration of the cyclical in our architecture. If the ethos of domination that goes with linear, progressive notions of time is as destructive to our environment as the Club of Rome (and other successor study groups looking at the future of the planet) have …
"Nearer My Subject To Thee": Twenty Years Of A Documentary Editor's Engagement With Emma Goldman, Candace Falk
"Nearer My Subject To Thee": Twenty Years Of A Documentary Editor's Engagement With Emma Goldman, Candace Falk
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
I am honored to be speaking today in the city where, in 1908, the editor of the St.Louis Mirror proclaimed that Emma Goldman was "the daughter of a dream" and that "there was nothing wrong with her gospel except that she was 8,000 years ahead of her age." Here, at the twentieth anniversary of the Association for Documentary Editing, the Women's Interest Network breakfast has become a time to bond in the early morning hours with my sister-editors (and brother-editors, too) and to reflect upon our own experience as women, as documentary editors, as people who have devoted many years …

But before telling about this work, I shall describe the structure of the project, which is collaborative in its conception and design. To ensure high quality and productivity, we have concentrated textual editing at the University of Nebraska. My colleague in the English Department, Charles Mignon, has been with the project from its beginning, and Fred Link, former chair of the English Department and director of University of Nebraska Press, joined the project shortly before he retired and has continued with it as a professor emeritus. Both brought editorial expertise to the project, one editing Edward Taylor, the other Restoration …

Failed Revolt, Faulty Edition: Review Of Designs Against Charleston: The Trial Record Of The Denmark Vesey Slave Conspiracy Of 1822Edward A. Pearson, Ed., Charles H. Lesser
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
On June 19, 1822, a court composed of two magistrates and five freeholders convened in Charleston, South Carolina. The discovery of a planned slave revolt led by Denmark Vesey, a free black carpenter, had alarmed the city just days earlier. Before the summer was out, Vesey and thirty-four enslaved men were hanged and about the same number sentenced to be transported outside the United States. Lionel H. Kennedy and Thomas Parker, the two magistrates who presided over the trials, published An Official Report of the Trials of Sundry Negroes ... later that year:, but Kennedy and Parker's version of the …

Ezra Pound: The Genius In The Bughouse: Review Of "I Cease Not To Yowl": Ezra Pound's Letters To Olivia Rossetti Agresti, Ed. Demetres P. Tryphonopoulos And Leon Surette., Peter Buitenhuis
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
I mention this personal encounter because in this volume of letters from Pound to Olivia Rossetti Agresti, mostly written from St. Elizabeths, there is not a single mention of the. conditions under which he was living. He had been confined to the hospital in January 1946 after being adjudged by psychiatrists "eccentric, querulous, and egocentric," and unfit to stand trial for treason as a consequence of broadcasting over Rome radio during the war. For a year, he was housed in a barred cell in the criminal ward, then released to a general ward, and finally, toward the end of his …

Reflections On The Aed 20th Anniversary, Jon Kukla
Reflections On The Aed 20th Anniversary, Jon Kukla
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
We were all younger then, and at thirty I guess I was younger and I certainly had done far less than most of the people gathered in a hotel room in St. Louis to establish the Association for Documentary Editing. I'm quite certain that I didn't say anything- for although I was strongly committed to documentary editing, the Southern Historical Association was meeting at the now-demolished hotel near Forest Park, and on the previous afternoon I had presented my first paper to a professional historical meeting. Linda Grant DePauw had commented, Merrill Peterson had chaired, and I was grateful not …

Evaluating The Institute For Editing Historical Documents, Beth Luey
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
The Institute for Editing Historical Documents has been meeting every sununer since 1972. More than four hundred editors, archivists, teaching faculty, graduate students, and independent scholars have benefited from its teaching sessions, tutorials, and good fellowship. The institute has become an institution. Those who have spent a week or two in Madison (since 1978) or an earlier venue, whether as campers or as counselors, are nearly unanimous in agreeing that the experience was professionally valuable. But aside from the comments on each session written by the interns, there has been no systematic evaluation of the institute. This article attempts to …

Editing In The New Millennium: Review Of A Guide To Documentary Editing, 2d Ed. Mary-Jo Kline., Esther Katz, Ann D. Gordon
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
Now, the second edition of the Guide to Documentary Editing has appeared, living up to the motto that Mary-Jo Kline adopted from Sir Walter Gregg for this and the earlier edition: ''My desire is rather to provoke discussion than to lay down the law." By clarifying and updating the basic theories and laws that govern the practice of editing, Kline has produced a revised Guide that will continue to be an important reference source for those involved in editing projects. Used along with Editing Historical Documents: A Handbook a/Practice, by Michael E. Stevens and Steven E. Burg (reviewed by Beth …

The Journals Of Lewis And Clark: Almost Home, Gary E. Moulton
The Journals Of Lewis And Clark: Almost Home, Gary E. Moulton
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
My entry into the world of Lewis and Clark was quite indirect. My wife Faye saw an ad for the editorial position in a professional journal in 1978 and encouraged me to apply. That I was to be unemployed the next year was a compelling incentive. My professional interests in the American West, Native Americans, and historical editing gave me an edge. In fact, I was just completing editing the papers of Chief John Ross of the Cherokees, supported for four years by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) of the National Archives.

A Consonance Of Civility And Good-Will: Review Of Cleanth Brooks And Robert Penn Warren: A Literary Correspondence, Ed. James A. Grimshaw, Jr., Keen Butterworth
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
The strength of Brooks's friendship pervades his letters published in Cleanth Brooks and Robert Penn Warren: A Literary Correspondence. Just as obvious is the strength of Warren's attachment to Brooks. Throughout these letters, extending from 1933 to 1988, mostly concerned with literary and professional matters, a tone of respectful deference obtains, but breaking through that tone quite often are glimpses of their heartfelt affection for one another. These glimpses usually come at the ends of letters, when the business matters have been concluded and one expresses his desire to see the other and his family, or is particularly warm in …
