The Realms of Oblivion
Author: Andrew C. Ross
Publisher: Vanderbilt University Press
ISBN: 0826506828
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 509
Book Description
The Realms of Oblivion explores the complexities involved in reconciling competing versions of history, channeled through Davies Manor, a historic site near Memphis that once centered a wealthy slave-owning family’s sprawling cotton plantation. Interrogating the forces of memorialization that often go unquestioned in the stories we believe about ourselves and our communities, this book simultaneously tells an informative and engrossing bottom-up history—of the Davies family, of the Black families they enslaved and exploited across generations, and of Memphis and Shelby County—while challenging readers to consider just what upholds the survival of that history into the present day. Written in an engaging and critical style, The Realms of Oblivion is grounded in a rich source base, ranging from nineteenth-century legal records to the personal papers of the Davies family to twentieth-century African American oral histories. Author Andrew C. Ross uses these sources to unearth the stark contrast between the version of Davies Manor’s history that was built out of nostalgia, and the version that records have proven to actually be true. As a result, Ross illuminates the ongoing need for a deep and honest reckoning with the history of the South and of the United States, on the part of both individuals and community institutions such as local historic sites and small museums.

History of Shelby County, Kentucky
Author: George L. Willis
Publisher: Heritage Books
ISBN: 9780788411786
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Shelby County was for a long time the geographical center of the United States and for a longer period its center of population. It was Squire Boone, the younger brother of Daniel Boone, who began the settlement of Shelby County Territory, around 1779. The first of Shelby's peculiarly large number of Stations was that of the "Painted Stone." The book is divided into seven parts. Part One is about the county itself. The author shows the reader the geology, boundaries and topography of the county, as well as a look at the first visitors and settlers and the county's first century. Part Two gives a more in-depth look into the Stations of the county and its many towns and villages. Parts Three and Four give the reader information about the many churches, schools and other institutions of the county. Part Five explores the county's early pioneers; the biographies include those of Squire Boone, William Shannon, Col. Charles S. Todd, William Logan, John Allen, Col. Abraham Owen, Gov. John Pope, Capt. John Simpson, Moses Hall, Dr. John Knight, Nicholas Merriwether and Joseph Hornsby. Part Six contains some traditions and reminiscences of the county, including: the Long Run Massacre, the Silver Mine Agreement, reminiscences from John W. Williamson and Judge Luther Clay Willis. The book's final part deals with county statistics. Some of these include: first tax list, senators and representatives, Constitutional delegates, county judges, county clerks, postmasters, early marriages, Revolutionary soldiers, Shelby County Masons, and noted burial ground. A new full-name index is included as well as many photos.
