In Old Virginia

In Old Virginia

Richard L. Bushman

Johns Hopkins University Press
2002
sidottu
In 1824, John Walker purchased a 500-acre farm in King and Queen County, Virginia, and began working it with a dozen slaves. The son of a local politician and planter who grew tobacco, Walker lost status when he became a devout Methodist, raised wheat, and treated his slaves like brothers and sisters. He also kept a detailed and fascinating journal. Drawing on this forty-three-year chronicle, Claudia L. Bushman provides a richly illuminating study, a microhistory that is rewarding to read. Walker sets aside most of the "Old South planter" stereotype. He sold wheat in Baltimore and Norfolk and invested in railroad stock, and yet he grew, spun, and wove cotton for clothing, tanned leather, and made shoes. He avoided lavish creature comforts in favor of purchasing the latest farm equipment. So far from losing out to soil exhaustion, he experimented with improved farming methods, nourished his land, and kept his yields high. Walker's journal describes the legal cases he tenaciously pursued, records devotion to the local Methodist church, and explains his practice of Thomsonian medicine on slaves and family members alike. He provides insight into women's work and lays out the drama of blacks and whites living in close intimacy and constant fear. Walker humbly referred to himself as "a poor illiterate worm," but his diary dramatically captures the life of a small planter in antebellum Virginia.

The Bioarchaeology of Virginia Burial Mounds

The Bioarchaeology of Virginia Burial Mounds

Debra L. Gold

The University of Alabama Press
2004
nidottu
By the 14th century more than a dozen accretional burial mounds - reaching heights of 12 to 15 feet - marked the floodplains of interior Virginia. Today, none of these mounds built by the nearly forgotten Monacan Indians remain on the landscape, having been removed over the centuries by a variety of natural and cultural causes. This study uses what remains of the mounds - excavated from the 1890s to the 1980s - to gain a new understanding of the Monacans and to gauge their importance in the realm of the late prehistoric period in the Eastern Woodlands. Based on osteological examinations of dozens of complete skeletons and thousands of isolated bones and bone fragments, this work constructs information on Monacan demography, diet, health, and mortuary ritual in the 10th through the 15th centuries. The results show an overall pattern of stability and local autonomy among the Late Woodland village societies of interior Virginia in which a mixture of maize farming and the collection of wild food resources were successful for more than 600 years. This book - uniting biological and cultural aspects of the data for a holistic understanding of everyday life in the period - will be of interest to ethnohistorians osteologists, bioarchaeologists, and anyone studying Late Woodland, Mississippian and contact periods, as well as middle range societies, in the Eastern Woodlands.

Spring Wildflowers of West Virginia describes nearly 250 plant species which flower during the spring months in the Allegheny Mountains of eastern North America. These are the plants found in the woods, forests, meadows, and bluffs of the region. Each plant is described and illustrated with two or more color photographs depicting the general form of the plant, and, in most cases, a close-up image of the plant's flower is provided to make positive identification of an unknown plant easier. The text of this book is based on the first edition (1948) of Spring Wild Flowers by Earl. L. Core (1902-1984). Dr. Core was a biology professor at West Virginia University for more than 40 years, and co-author of the classic four-volume Flora of West Virginia. The present work updates all botanical names, revises portions of the text, includes over 500 color photographs, a county-level distribution map for each species, and organizes the plants by flower color.
