Book Description
Excerpt from The New England Town: Its Spirit and Meaning With Some Reference to Modern Social and Economic Questions But as we, responding to your gladly heard call, stand here among our native hills, whose sweet airs we first breathed and whose bird songs were the first we knew, amid the scenes where life was shaped and its first inspirations drawn, among our own dear people and near the many graves of others once and yet our own, our eyes and our hearts go searching for the faces that smiled on us long years ago, and we realize how many of them are dust; how many of those who made the past for us of that day have gone on to the great communion of saints. On this day dedicate to the historic memories of our dear home, our hearts go out with tender yearnings to those who made it home to us, who here made our joys, helped our hopes, smoothed our diffi culties, and shared our griefs; who made and kept here in simple truth and steadfastness those institutions of religion, learning, and freedom under equal law which give to life all its due Opportunities to work out for itself its divine significance and intent. And our recollecting love takes account of those of our mother's many sons whose graves in earth and sea are not with us; who heard their call for life elsewhere, andsleep where their night fell; some after the full ness of days in the good works of peace, well wrought; some who dared meet death on stricken fields for freedom and for country, for truth and righteousness' sake. How many are the names each heart recalls, how tender and how proud are the memories that enshrine them, how prayerful the love that clings to and follows them. May the blessed light perpetual shine on them. Whether they were to us father or mother, brother or sister, lover or friend, we who meet to take a reverent, thankful, backward look over a cen tury's rounded tale of years, greet each other in loving consciousness of them, drawn to them as they still, please God, to us, by the cords of a man by that deathless affection which binds unbrokenly the life that was and the life that is, to the life which, for us, is to come, and which for them has already dawned. And so we stand with them to-day, an unsundered host, before the God of our fathers in all their generations, while we recount what He hath wrought here where true and brave men and tender and patient women have toiled and spared not in His name; one with them in that deep and mystical, personal sense of which historic association and continuity are but phases and necessary incidents.

Book Description
Excerpt from Features of Society: In Old and in New England Of British birth and training, I began to reside in New England at an age sufficiently mature for the memories of the Old World to be enduring, while my mind was yet plastic enough to receive fair and unprejudiced impressions of the New. The following pages, therefore, so far as they apply to New England, are not the crude comments of a sojourner, or the hasty observations of a traveler. They are the fruit of thought and of experience, on the farm, in the office, in the court, in all the varied phases of life of which an employe in journalism is a witness, and often a part. The articles in reply to Mr. Mallock's work on Property and Progress appeared originally as editorial contributions in the columns of the Providence Journal.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of New England, Vol. 2 of 3: Revolutionary New England, 1691-1776 The period from the Peace of Utrecht in 1713 to that of the decade from 1740 to 17 50 produced no striking personalities and few events Of compelling human interest. But though this may detract from the dramatic quality Of the period, it by no means diminishes its historical importance. In those years Of recovery from war, and of great economic expansion, we can see at work forces tending to develop democratic ideals in certain elements of the community, and foreshadowing the alignments and par ties of a later time. The decade from 1740 to 17 50 was marked by an intense quickening of thought and action, and SO impor tant was the change in the intellectual and social atmosphere following the extraordinary religious outburst at the opening of this Short period that I have named the chapter dealing with it The Great Divide (chapter IX).

Book Description
Excerpt from Social Life in Old New England Good Americans are becoming more deeply interested, with each year that passes, in the intimate every-day life of those who built up this country. Though we are less and less concerned all the time about the battles fought as a means to the establishment of our United States, we care increasingly for the human nature of the men who did the fighting and for the beauty of character and countenance which distinguished the wives and daughters of those men. After telling each other for a couple of centuries that the American home is the foundation of the Republic, we are at last beginning to prove that we believe it by showing real interest in that home and in those who founded it.

"Origins of the New South" Fifty Years Later
Author: John B. BolesPublisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 9780807129203
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
In this thoughtful, sophisticated book, John B. Boles and Bethany L. Johnson piece together the intricate story of historian C. Vann Woodward’s 1951 masterpiece, Origins of the New South, 1877–1913, published as Volume IX of LSU Press’s venerable series A History of the South. Sixteen reviews and articles by prominent southern historians of the past fifty years here offer close consideration of the creation, reception, and enduring influence of that classic work of history. It is rare for an academic book to dominate its field half a century later as Woodward’s Origins does southern history. Although its explanations are not accepted by all, the volume remains the starting point for every work examining the South in the era between Reconstruction and World War I. In writing Origins, Woodward deliberately set out to subvert much of the historical orthodoxy he had been taught during the 1930s, and he expected to be lambasted. But the revisionist movement was already afoot among white southern historians by 1951 and the book was hailed. Woodward’s work had an enormous interpretative impact on the historical academy and encapsulated the new trend of historiography of the American South, an approach that guided both black and white scholars through the civil rights movement and beyond. This easily accessible collection comprises four reviews of Origins from 1952 to 1978; “Origin of Origins,” a chapter from Woodward’s 1986 book Thinking Back: The Perils of Writing History that explains and reconsiders the context in which Origins was written; five articles from a fiftieth anniversary retrospective symposium on Origins; and three commentaries presented at the symposium and here published for the first time. A combination of trenchant commentary and recent reflections on Woodward’s seminal study along with insight into Woodward as a teacher and scholar, Fifty Years Later in effect traces the creation and development of the modern field of southern history.
