Remaking the Heartland
Author: Robert Wuthnow
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400836247
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 375
Book Description
The social transformation of the American Midwest in the postwar era For many Americans, the Midwest is a vast unknown. In Remaking the Heartland, Robert Wuthnow sets out to rectify this. He shows how the region has undergone extraordinary social transformations over the past half-century and proven itself surprisingly resilient in the face of such hardships as the Great Depression and the movement of residents to other parts of the country. He examines the heartland's reinvention throughout the decades and traces the social and economic factors that have helped it to survive and prosper. Wuthnow points to the critical strength of the region's social institutions established between 1870 and 1950--the market towns, farmsteads, one-room schoolhouses, townships, rural cooperatives, and manufacturing centers that have adapted with the changing times. He focuses on farmers' struggles to recover from the Great Depression well into the 1950s, the cultural redefinition and modernization of the region's image that occurred during the 1950s and 1960s, the growth of secondary and higher education, the decline of small towns, the redeployment of agribusiness, and the rapid expansion of edge cities. Drawing his arguments from extensive interviews and evidence from the towns and counties of the Midwest, Wuthnow provides a unique perspective as both an objective observer and someone who grew up there. Remaking the Heartland offers an accessible look at the humble yet strong foundations that have allowed the region to endure undiminished.

Burnet - Ferguson - Schneider
Author: Jim Schneider
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1300853069
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
This book is a story of the people who gave birth to my father's family and the times in which they lived. The Ferguson and Schneider families are fairly recent arrivals in America by genealogical standards. My great-grandfather Ferguson was born in Glasgow, Scotland, arriving in the United States while still an infant in 1848. My great-grandfather Schneider was born in Germany and came here in 1868. The Burnet side of the family goes back to the earliest settlers of this country and has its roots on Long Island, New York, in 1643 while still under Dutch rule. That family intermarried with the Dutch of New York City and flourished in trade and medicine, playing significant roles in the early growth of this nation. Throughout the book, I've tried to present stories of who these long-dead ancestors were - what their lives were like and the circumstances that shaped their destinies.
