Book excerpt: An example of the elegance and grandeur of colonial architecture, the aesthetic tranquility of European gardens, and the quiet simplicity of centuries past, Middleton Place on the outskirts of Charleston, South Carolina, represents a complex history of war and peace, frugality and wealth, and sorrow and joy in the South of lore. Once a flourishing rice plantation on the Ashley River, Middleton Place is now a National Historic Landmark and a popular tourist destination for those invested in Southern history, culture, agriculture, and economics. Middleton Place's main attraction remains its lavish terraced gardens and sweeping vistas of the riverfront, the results of a decade of work by some one hundred slaves--both aspects well documented and explored through the site's exhibits and interpreters. With exquisite photography and detailed accounts, this guide to the property invites readers to discover the rich legacy of Middleton Place and of those who once lived and labored on these lands. First settled in the late seventeenth century, Middleton Place served as the family seat to four generations of the Middleton family, including Henry Middleton, a member of the Continental Congress; his son Arthur, a signer of the Declaration of Independence; Arthur's son Henry, governor of South Carolina and diplomat to Russia; and Henry's son Williams, a signer of the Ordinance of Secession. After the destruction of much of property during the Civil War, Middleton Place went neglected for decades until Middleton descendant J. J. Pringle Smith undertook restoration efforts in 1916. This handsome guide to the property offers insights into the history and restoration of a landmark later deemed by the Garden Club of America as "the most interesting and most important garden in America."

Book excerpt: **NAMED ONE OF THE BEST ART BOOKS OF THE DECADE BY ARTNEWS** The first and definitive biography of the celebrated collectors Dominique and John de Menil, who became one of the greatest cultural forces of the twentieth century through groundbreaking exhibits of art, artistic scholarship, the creation of innovative galleries and museums, and work with civil rights. Dominique and John de Menil created an oasis of culture in their Philip Johnson-designed house with everyone from Marlene Dietrich and René Magritte to Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns. In Houston, they built the Menil Collection, the Rothko Chapel, the Byzantine Fresco Chapel, the Cy Twombly Gallery, and underwrote the Contemporary Arts Museum. Now, with unprecedented access to family archives, William Middleton has written a sweeping biography of this unique couple. From their ancestors in Normandy and Alsace, to their own early years in France, and their travels in South America before settling in Houston. We see them introduced to the artists in Europe and America whose works they would collect, and we see how, by the 1960s, their collection had grown to include 17,000 paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, rare books, and decorative objects. And here is, as well, a vivid behind-the-scenes look at the art world of the twentieth century and the enormous influence the de Menils wielded through what they collected and built and through the causes they believed in.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A renowned historian traces the life of a single object handed down through three generations of Black women to craft a “deeply layered and insightful” (The Washington Post) testament to people who are left out of the archives. WINNER: Frederick Douglass Book Prize, Harriet Tubman Prize, PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award, Anisfield-Wolf Book Award, Ralph Waldo Emerson Prize, Lawrence W. Levine Award, Darlene Clark Hine Award, Cundill History Prize, Joan Kelly Memorial Prize, Massachusetts Book Award ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Slate, Vulture, Publishers Weekly “A history told with brilliance and tenderness and fearlessness.”—Jill Lepore, author of These Truths: A History of the United States In 1850s South Carolina, an enslaved woman named Rose faced a crisis: the imminent sale of her daughter Ashley. Thinking quickly, she packed a cotton bag for her with a few items, and, soon after, the nine-year-old girl was separated from her mother and sold. Decades later, Ashley’s granddaughter Ruth embroidered this family history on the sack in spare, haunting language. Historian Tiya Miles carefully traces these women’s faint presence in archival records, and, where archives fall short, she turns to objects, art, and the environment to write a singular history of the experience of slavery, and the uncertain freedom afterward, in the United States. All That She Carried is a poignant story of resilience and love passed down against steep odds. It honors the creativity and resourcefulness of people who preserved family ties when official systems refused to do so, and it serves as a visionary illustration of how to reconstruct and recount their stories today FINALIST: MAAH Stone Book Award, Kirkus Prize, Mark Lynton History Prize, Chatauqua Prize ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times, NPR, Time, The Boston Globe, The Atlantic, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Smithsonian Magazine, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Ms. magazine, Book Riot, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist

Book Synopsis American Landmark by : Virginia Beach
Download or read book American Landmark written by Virginia Beach and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When author Virginia Beach undertook writing the history of the Middleton Place Foundation, she began by tracing the early life of Middleton descendant Charles Duell, who established the nonprofit foundation in 1974. Seeking to understand the importance of Middleton Place in the pantheon of American landmarks, the author also examined some 400 years of the historical record - starting with the colonial era and the American Revolution, through the Civil War and Reconstruction, and into the 20th and 21st centuries. The significance of Charles' decision to preserve the family seat of his ancestors, and the journey toward its sustainability, were gradually revealed.Affirming Ralph Waldo Emerson's thesis that "there is properly no history, only biography," American Landmark weaves together myriad biographical stories, introducing us to an array of protagonists - both White and Black - associated with Middleton Place. Whether a president of the First Continental Congress, a schooner captain, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, or a pastry cook - the lives of numerous Middletons are intertwined with those of the enslaved men and women, and their descendants, who served them.Charles Duell inherited Middleton Place and the Edmondston-Alston House in 1969. He was 31 years old. A graduate of Yale, he had begun a career in finance on Wall Street. But the circumstances of his sudden inheritance compelled him to leave New York City and move his family to South Carolina. There he would take up the challenge of reviving the houses, gardens and forestlands of his forebears. He convinced countless relatives, friends and associates to work with him. Their collective efforts over the last half-century have resulted in a dynamic balance of historic preservation and innovative interpretation. Moreover, Middleton Place has become a nexus for truth seeking and reconciliation as Americans pursue a fuller understanding of their past.
Book Synopsis Great British Family Names and Their History by : John Moss
Download or read book Great British Family Names and Their History written by John Moss and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reference guide to hundreds of surnames that reveal the story of the United Kingdom across generations and centuries. To some extent, we are all products of our family history, the many generations before us. So it is with nations. The history of Great Britain has been largely defined by powerful and influential families, many of whose names came down from Celtic, Danish, Saxon or Norman ancestors. Their family names fill the pages of history books, indelibly written into events we learn about at school. Family names like Wellington, Nelson, Shakespeare, Cromwell, Constable, De Montfort, and Montgomery reflect the long, checkered history of Britain, and demonstrate the assimilation of the many cultures and languages that have migrated to the British isles over the centuries. This book is a snapshot of several hundred such family names and delves into their beginnings and derivations, making extensive use of old sources, including translations of The Domesday Book and The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, as well as tracing many through the centuries to the present day.
