Fourth Census of the United States of America, 1820
Author: Donald E. Watts
Publisher: Donald E. Watts
ISBN:
Category : Jefferson County (W. Va.)
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
INTRODUCTION In August 1820 Robert Avis, Jr., an assistant to Marshal John Pegram of the Eastern District of Virginia, was responsible for taking the Fourth United States Census, 1820, for Jefferson County, the county in which he resided. From the enumeration record that Avis left of Jefferson County, Virginia, he completed the requirements of his job: took the enumeration of the population and its different classes; listed, according to “head’s of families” declarations, whether each was involved in agriculture, commercial or manufactures; and noted how many in the household were “foreigners not naturalized.” However, Avis did more than was required of him: he asked each head of household her or his occupation and included their answers in his enumeration, and in tabular form, took inventories of (1) the predominant manufactures in the county, their quantity and value and (2) the flour mills in the county, their location and the quantity of flour ground. Because of Avis’ foresight, the researcher will learn the occupations of heads of families in county districts, leading to knowledge of industries intertwined.

The First American Frontier
Author: Wilma A. Dunaway
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807861170
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
In The First American Frontier, Wilma Dunaway challenges many assumptions about the development of preindustrial Southern Appalachia's society and economy. Drawing on data from 215 counties in nine states from 1700 to 1860, she argues that capitalist exchange and production came to the region much earlier than has been previously thought. Her innovative book is the first regional history of antebellum Southern Appalachia and the first study to apply world-systems theory to the development of the American frontier. Dunaway demonstrates that Europeans established significant trade relations with Native Americans in the southern mountains and thereby incorporated the region into the world economy as early as the seventeenth century. In addition to the much-studied fur trade, she explores various other forces of change, including government policy, absentee speculation in the region's natural resources, the emergence of towns, and the influence of local elites. Contrary to the myth of a homogeneous society composed mainly of subsistence homesteaders, Dunaway finds that many Appalachian landowners generated market surpluses by exploiting a large landless labor force, including slaves. In delineating these complexities of economy and labor in the region, Dunaway provides a perceptive critique of Appalachian exceptionalism and development.

The Uncivil War
Author: Robert R. Mackey
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806148047
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
The Upper South—Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia—was the scene of the most destructive war ever fought on American soil. Contending armies swept across the region from the outset of the Civil War until its end, marking their passage at Pea Ridge, Shiloh, Perryville, and Manassas. Alongside this much-studied conflict, the Confederacy also waged an irregular war, based on nineteenth-century principles of unconventional warfare. In The Uncivil War, Robert R. Mackey outlines the Southern strategy of waging war across an entire region, measures the Northern response, and explains the outcome. Complex military issues shaped both the Confederate irregular war and the Union response. Through detailed accounts of Rebel guerrilla, partisan, and raider activities, Mackey strips away romanticized notions of how the “shadow war” was fought, proving instead that irregular warfare was an integral part of Confederate strategy.
