Jacob's Journey

Lorinda DePeal Martin

nidottu
This is a story of Jacob DePeal who left the home of his abusive father in search of a better life at the age of twelve. The story chronicles his adventure to safety leading him to The Newsboy Home in Detroit, Michigan in the latter part of the 1800s. This account is based on family stories passed down through the years and current research conducted on the life and times of the characters, using actual census records, land plots, jail and marriage records. The narrative uses the characters, places, and incidents fictitiously to illustrate the hardships and struggles endured along with the courage and achievements of our not so distant ancestors.

Lorinda Bewley and the Whitman Massacre is a historical non-fiction book written by Myra Sager Helm. The book tells the story of Lorinda Bewley, a young girl who survived the infamous Whitman Massacre that took place in 1847 in present-day Washington State. The massacre was a tragic event in which a group of Cayuse Native Americans attacked and killed 14 people, including missionaries Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, who were trying to convert the Cayuse to Christianity.The book offers a detailed account of the events leading up to the massacre and the aftermath, including the trial and execution of five Cayuse warriors. It also explores the complex relationships between the Native American tribes and the white settlers who were encroaching on their land.Lorinda Bewley, who was just nine years old at the time of the massacre, was taken captive by the Cayuse and held for several months before being rescued by American troops. The book follows her journey as she tries to come to terms with the trauma of her experience and find a place in a world that has been forever changed by the violence she witnessed.Through Lorinda's story, the book sheds light on the larger historical context of the Whitman Massacre and its impact on the relationships between Native Americans and white settlers in the Pacific Northwest. It is a gripping and thought-provoking account of a tragic event in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

An Archaeology of Manners

An Archaeology of Manners

Lorinda B.R. Goodwin; Mary C. Beaudry

Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers
1999
sidottu
A glance at the title of this book might well beg the question “What in heaven’s name does archaeology have to do with manners? We cannot dig up manners or mannerly behavior—or can we?” One might also ask “Why is mannerly behavior important?” and “What can archaeology contribute to our understanding of the role of manners in the devel- ment of social relations and cultural identity in early America?” English colonists in America and elsewhere sought to replicate English notions of gentility and social structure, but of necessity div- ged from the English model. The first generation of elites in colonial America did not spring from the landed gentry of old England. Rather, they were self-made, newly rich, and newly possessed of land and other trappings of England’s genteel classes. The result was a new model of gentry culture that overcame the contradiction between a value system in which gentility was conferred by birth, and the new values of bo- geois materialism and commercialism among the emerging colonial elites. Manners played a critical role in the struggle for the cultural legitimacy of gentility; mannerly behavior—along with exhibition of refined taste in architecture, fashionable clothing, elegant furnishings, and literature—provided the means through which the new-sprung colonial elites defined themselves and validated their claims on power and prestige to accompany their newfound wealth.

Serialized Citizenships

Serialized Citizenships

Lorinda B. Cohoon

Scarecrow Press
2006
nidottu
In the last few decades, scholars have turned their attention to constructions of masculinity and its influence on expressions of nationality and citizenship. Serialized Citizenships participates in and critiques these ongoing conversations about boyhood by examining works produced between 1840 and the first decade of the twentieth century. American boyhood has often been narrowly defined by nineteenth- and twentieth- century canonical texts, such as Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn, which represent boyhood as a time of rebellion against society. This book suggests that significant representations of American boyhood can be found elsewhere: in serialized texts published in middle-class magazines such as Youth's Companion and Our Young Folks, and also in less familiar children's periodicals, including Young American's Magazine of Self-Improvement and Boys of New York. Author Lorinda Cohoon argues that through their regular publication, these forms of productions construct citizenships that are then adapted by readers from a wide variety of backgrounds—not just by the white middle-class boy readers for whom many of the serialized representations of boyhood were originally published. Cohoon analyzes serializations of Thomas Bailey Aldrich's Story of a Bad Boy and Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn, along with serializations published by Jacob Abbott, William Taylor Adams, Louisa May Alcott, and Frances Hodgson Burnett. Challenging the seemingly omnipresent "bad boyhood" that is still used to characterize American masculinity, this text examines cultural and textual evidence that reveals many other versions of boyhood citizenships that have been marginalized and sometimes ignored. The serializations and the surrounding periodical material also provide insights into texts that intervene in the construction of regional and national boyhood citizenships throughout the nineteenth century and continue to shape the ways citizenship is negotiated in the twentieth and twenty-
