War and Remembrance
Author: Thomas H. Conner
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813176328
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 343
Book Description
"No soldier could ask for a sweeter resting place than on the field of glory where he fell. The land he died to save vies with the one which gave him birth in paying tribute to his memory, and the kindly hands which so often come to spread flowers upon his earthly coverlet express in their gentle task a personal affection."—General John J. Pershing To remember and honor the memory of the American soldiers who fought and died in foreign wars during the past hundred years, the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) was established. Since the agency was founded in 1923, its sole purpose has been to commemorate the soldiers' service and the causes for which their lives were given. The twenty-five overseas cemeteries honoring 139,000 combat dead and the memorials honoring the 60,314 fallen soldiers with no known graves are among the most beautiful and meticulously maintained shrines in the world. In the first comprehensive study of the ABMC, Thomas H. Conner traces how the agency came to be created by Congress in the aftermath of World War I, how the cemeteries and monuments the agency built were designed and their locations chosen, and how the commemorative sites have become important "outposts of remembrance" on foreign soil. War and Remembrance powerfully demonstrates that these monuments—living sites that embody the role Americans played in the defense of freedom far from their own shores—assist in understanding the interconnections of memory and history and serve as an inspiration to later generations.

Remembrance of Things Present
Author: Nick Yablon
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022657427X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 415
Book Description
Time capsules offer unexpected insights into how people view their own time, place, and culture, as well as their duties to future generations. Remembrance of Things Present traces the birth of this device to the Gilded Age, when growing urban volatility prompted doubts about how the period would be remembered—or if it would be remembered at all. Yablon details how diverse Americans – from presidents and mayors to advocates for the rights of women, blacks, and workers – constructed prospective memories of their present. They did so by contributing not just written testimony to time capsules but also sources that historians and archivists considered illegitimate, such as photographs, phonograph records, films, and everyday artifacts. By offering a direct line to posterity, time capsules stimulated various hopes for the future. Remembrance of Things Present delves into these treasure chests to unearth those forgotten futures.

In Remembrance of Feelings
Author: Dexter G. Thompson
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1499027680
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
There’s an evil that spread destruction to everyday people like you and I. That malignant growth have pulled families apart and shredded their life’s forever. My book, ‘In Remembrance of Feelings’, is a seventy-one thousand word non-fiction monogram that touches on a child’s demeanor and events as he watches his mother being torn to pieces by cancer. The complexity the child has are weighted by the isolation and the aftermath of what is next? And what to do? The inner conflict that he is faced with, offers an ‘ avant-garde ‘ approach by humanizing the emotions that plague him. In the book, as he makes sense of his tragedy [presented in regular print], he from time-to-time, reflects back and changes scenes (in bold print) to help get through his ordeal; and reminiscence about how it all started. Thus the scene changes in retrospect to further foster the chaotic mindset he is faced with. As well as, the emotional impact of how his nerves were singled out from the disconnection of his mind to the loneliness that repels his heart. The day to day survival of dealing with his mother’s pain and the divide of his own life, in trying to appear normal on the outside, proves to be too much for the child to absorb. Therefore, he keeps his emotions retained in his domain. Only to be retouched and resurfaced when he becomes an adult. The writings of his ordeal became therapy of sort to combat cancer and death’s cohorts like depression, fear, and terror. There were good days they shared like walking in the breeze or hiding in the leaves. With a laughter that stretched their smiles, until reality sat back in and corralled her pain as she echoed for help. Then the internal fight goes on for both of them. He wonders if his mother will get any better, through the treatments she receives. And she’s, hoping that the medication would relieve and ease her discomfort. 'In Remembrance of Feelings' is a story for all of us. My book displays a co-partnership with society's woes and the solidarity for the removal of pain that infiltrates when death follows cancer. My chronicles are society's anecdote. A hard pill to swallow when the infestation of cancer remains spilled to all sectors of our world

Remembrance

Pages : 375
Book Description
The oral history of a family never matches up with the written word. As a result, when a person dies who has the basic information, much of the history dies with that person. Gone are the horse thieves, rascals and real characters who make up the gene pool of the present generation; gone are the do-gooders who never created a fuss or stirred a wave. They are forgotten along with the horse thieves, and yet all of them left an impression and were part of the history of the family. In an effort to pass on what was said, these words are being written. They may not amount to much, but at least, they will contribute to the knowledge of the present and future generations. Maybe it can make something of it. Personages are not consciously romanticized; they are treated as they are recalled or as was related. If in the telling, they are made to seem more important than they were, or if they were given a mantle of gentility that they dont deserve, it wasnt done consciously. All one can do is tell it like it is, hope that it is admired for its honesty, if not for its comfort, and hope that the effort is appreciated. It should also be recognized that what I recall, or what made an imression on me as to any event may have been recalled entirely differently by one of my siblings, or what we were told may have been recalled entirely differently. After all, that is the nature of oral history recorded a half a century plus later. I have read some of the incidents of each of my parents youthes, and have the effort that each made to record some of them. Both are just a few pages long. I have no doubt, however, that to them, they record what each recalled as being important in their lives, and that their writings record the things that they recalled and wanted to pass on to their children, grandchildren and subsequent generations. And yet each is but a single chapter. Mother doesnt mention, for instance, what she said and did when I was recording our conversation about the dirty ballad that she knew. (Actually, it was quite tame, and in contrast to present day rap, didnt begin to hold its own.) And for dad, some of the most interesting stories are best left untold. My father was very closed mouthed about his youth, and it wasnt until he was almost ninety that he opened up about some things. As to others, I had to wait until he was in his grave before I learned them, and learned them, then, from my siblings. He specificially avoided telling me about certain things. I recall specifically, that I was given some of the stories by dads younger brother when I was sixteen years old. When I laughingly told them to dad, his comment was, Roy never should have told you that. Some families dont pass on the rich history and heritage that they have. In my own case, having been preceded in death by my elder son, and not being sure of the interest of my other son, this effort is made for the benefit of my other relatives. They have asked me about it - at least some of them have. I make no apologies for the the lack of Notable Americans. I started to say, great Americans, but that would have been wrong. All of my forebears were Great Americans. Its just that they were never recorded as such, or noted. The history speaks for itself.

Remembrance of Patients Past
Author: Geoffrey Reaume
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1442659165
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
In Remembrance of Patients Past, historian Geoffrey Reaume remembers previously forgotten psychiatric patients by examining in rich detail their daily life at the Toronto Hospital for the Insane (now called the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health – CAMH) from 1870-1940. Psychiatric patients endured abuse and could lead monotonous lives inside the asylum's walls, yet these same women and men worked hard at unpaid institutional jobs for years and decades on end, created their own entertainment, even in some cases made their own clothes, while forming meaningful relationships with other patients and some staff. Using first person accounts by and about patients – including letters written by inmates which were confiscated by hospital staff – Reaume weaves together a tapestry of stories about the daily lives of people confined behind brick walls that patients themselves built.
