Except for minor items, all papers date from Stevens's episcopate and most are correspondence with Bishop William Rollinson Whittingham. They cover a wide range, from personal affairs and health to his oversight of the Episcopal churches in Europe. Among many subjects are Stevens's European travels in 1866 and 1872; affairs of the Episcopal church in Florence, Italy, with references to the Reverend Pierce Connelly and the Reverend William Chauncy Langdon; church work in Geneva, Switzerland; canon law respecting the churches in Europe; and work of the Italian Church Reformation Commission of the House of Bishops from 1865. Nearer home are a visit to Hagerstown, Md., in 1864 during the Civil War; Stevens's appeal on behalf of the Freedmans' Commission of the Episcopal Church, and support of it, 1865-1868; involvement with the work of the Mexican Commission of the House of Bishops, 1874-1876; opposition to the Society of St. John the Evangelist (the Cowley Fathers) 1875; and many clergy matters. Among other subjects are relations with the Church of England and comments of Bishop Theodore B. Lyman on Stevens's sermon at the close of the Lambeth Conference, 1873. Also includes seven letters to and from Bishop William Pinkney of Maryland, about the Reverend Alfred G. Mortimer and other matters.

Book Description
Following a story from the Caribbean to the colony of Georgia through debates over the abolition of the slave trade and finally to the antebellum South, The Nature of Slavery demonstrates the pervasiveness of a groundless theory about climate, labor, and bodily difference that ultimately contributed to notions of race.

Book Description
In Brothers of Coweta Bryan C. Rindfleisch explores how family and clan served as the structural foundation of the Muscogee (Creek) Indian world through the lens of two brothers, who emerged from the historical shadows to shape the forces of empire, colonialism, and revolution that transformed the American South during the eighteenth century. Although much of the historical record left by European settlers was fairly robust, it included little about Indigenous people and even less about their kinship, clan, and familial dynamics. However, European authorities, imperial agents, merchants, and a host of other individuals left a surprising paper trail when it came to two brothers, Sempoyaffee and Escotchaby, of Coweta, located in what is now central Georgia. Though fleeting, their appearances in the archival record offer a glimpse of their extensive kinship connections and the ways in which family and clan propelled them into their influential roles negotiating with Europeans. As the brothers navigated the politics of empire, they pursued distinct family agendas that at times clashed with the interests of Europeans and other Muscogee leaders. Despite their limitations, Rindfleisch argues that these archives reveal how specific Indigenous families negotiated and even subverted empire-building and colonialism in early America. Through careful examination, he demonstrates how historians of early and Native America can move past the limitations of the archives to rearticulate the familial and clan dynamics of the Muscogee world.
