The Land and the Days
Author: Tracy Daugherty
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780806176239
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
"Memoir set largely in Walters, Oklahoma, tracing a community's development from the 1930s to the present. The narrator traces the story of his grandfather, Harry Tracy Daugherty, a man who devoted his life to public service. It is the story of changing political attitudes in southern Oklahoma, of growing awareness of race and class, and of dealing with the pervasive grief endured for lost loved ones. Unearthly Archives expands the realistic accounts of the first narrative, providing a meditation on the meaning of grief. The writer demonstrates his curiosity and indefatigable search for understanding and closure by searching his readings as they inflect his own experiences. Questions of the possibilities of an afterlife are superseded by the revelations in dreams. Whereas the first narrative explores daily family life, setting up what will be the huge loss of his parents, the second examines questions of death, grief, creativity, and the meaning of memory"--

Seeds of Empire
Author: Andrew J. Torget
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469624257
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
By the late 1810s, a global revolution in cotton had remade the U.S.-Mexico border, bringing wealth and waves of Americans to the Gulf Coast while also devastating the lives and villages of Mexicans in Texas. In response, Mexico threw open its northern territories to American farmers in hopes that cotton could bring prosperity to the region. Thousands of Anglo-Americans poured into Texas, but their insistence that slavery accompany them sparked pitched battles across Mexico. An extraordinary alliance of Anglos and Mexicans in Texas came together to defend slavery against abolitionists in the Mexican government, beginning a series of fights that culminated in the Texas Revolution. In the aftermath, Anglo-Americans rebuilt the Texas borderlands into the most unlikely creation: the first fully committed slaveholders' republic in North America. Seeds of Empire tells the remarkable story of how the cotton revolution of the early nineteenth century transformed northeastern Mexico into the western edge of the United States, and how the rise and spectacular collapse of the Republic of Texas as a nation built on cotton and slavery proved to be a blueprint for the Confederacy of the 1860s.
