Book Synopsis Preserving the Old Dominion by : James Michael Lindgren
Download or read book Preserving the Old Dominion written by James Michael Lindgren and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1889 tradition-minded women, including many from Virginia's most prominent families, formed the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APVA), the first state preservation organization in the United States. And where better? After all, who else could so readily claim both colonial and Confederate heritage, both Jamestown and the White House of the Confederacy? In Preserving the Old Dominion cultural historian James Lindgren shows how the preservation movement strove to rebuild a revered past upon the foundations of its historic structures. While vividly capturing entertaining incidents - white-gloved pilgrimages, a Richmond costume ball, even a search for a Jamestown Rock to set back those arriviste New Englanders - and introducing battling (often with each other) preservationists, Lindgren also explores the serious consequences of these sometimes amusing efforts. He shows how the reinvention of the past shaped contemporary Virginia and the South. In a very real sense the battle between North and South was replayed at the end of the nineteenth century in a contest to control the nation's past. The AVPA's significance lies not only in the fact that it played a major role in the resurgence of conservatism in the late nineteenth-century South, but that it fits into a larger American picture where tradition-minded Americans tapped their history - whether imagined or real - to shape their identity. Preserving the Old Dominion incorporates history, anthropology, architecture, archaeology, religion, and politics; it will be of interest to historians in all fields as well as women's studies scholars.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Dominion: Her Making and Her Manners It has from a long time back been an author's privilege to say a word more or less confidential to his Reader before committing himself in cold type to the Public. The author of these Essays now avails himself of this privilege to express the hope that whatever their faults may be, they may lead some of his readers to turn for themselves to the almost unknown page of their Country's History: the Record of the early life of "The Antient Dominion." Few know it now, yet no page of the History of the Race will better repay patient study; for none shines with more heroic deeds, or more sublime fortitude and endeavor. Her History belongs not to the present Virginia alone. It is the heritage of every State carved from the mighty empire once embraced within her borders.

Download or read book The Old Dominion written by G. P. R. James and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-06-03 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Old Dominion" by G. P. R. James is a historical romance novel. The plot is based on a legal imbroglio, and a painstaking study of that perennial problem, the negro question. The negro's insane ferocity when freed from control, and the peril of a small white population at the mercy of a host of revolted slaves, are brought out in the history of the negro insurrection. Excerpt: "I wrote to you, my dear sister, from the pretty little town of Baltimore; and I hope you have received my letter. Although this so speedily follows it, my only motives for writing are, to occupy idle time, and to relieve your mind from apprehension regarding my safety during my passage through all the terrors of Chesapeake Bay: "that long and dreadful inlet," as you call it, "in which uncle Richard was shipwrecked twenty or thirty years ago." Believe me, all these dangers are imaginary."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Dominion Line: Along the Historic James River The fire and smoke Of three different wars have marred the sod, and the tramp Of battalions has sounded along its banks. The army of Cornwallis on its march from Petersburg to Yorktown, crossed the river at Westover, thence onward across the country to York River to meet the disastrous close of the most dramatic event of the eighteenth century. Benedict Arnold with his ruthless Hessians set fire to Old Warwick and to Aiken's Landing. The stain of dishonor on his crested blade, however, stood out in no sharper relief to those whom he had betrayed than it did to those who in warfare used him and in peace despised him. Norfolk and Hampton were both stormed with shot and shell by British guns; and in later times the bloody, fratricidal strife between North and South centered on the James.

Book Synopsis Keeping It Tight in the Old Dominion by : Pete Crigler
Download or read book Keeping It Tight in the Old Dominion written by Pete Crigler and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pete Crigler has been obsessed with music from the earliest possible age; reading about it, writing about it, listening to it, almost everything except playing it. Some people would say that music is the defining everything for him but that's what he chooses to do, so lay off But in all honesty, it's the heart and compassion that he shows not just for the music but the musicians who created it is where he really shows his stuff. Hearing so many stories about what these musicians have been through has been more than enough to prepare him for the next surprising story that comes around. By asking intelligent questions of the musicians and then getting intelligent responses back, he was able to mold their stories into something that has rarely been read before for a number of artists. By getting their stories out there, he has created a rock and roll book unlike any seen in quite a while. The following is a message to the reader: Dear sir or ma'am, what you are holding in your hands is a very different book than one you've probably read before. The reason it's so different is because a lot of the bands profiled inside are very obscure and their material is often out of print so if you read about a musician you thought you'd forgotten about or are interested in hearing more about, please feel free to go on Amazon or eMusic or Rhapsody and start searching around to see what you can find. Most times, I assure you will be pleasantly rewarded. This book has been a complete labor of love for its author; starting in July of 2007 and working until October of 2009, Pete Crigler has been consistently working putting together what he hopes is the definitive tale of rock music in Virginia. The book tells the history of rock music in Virginia from the 1950s and the rockabilly of Gene Vincent to the punk energy of Cloak/Dagger and Conditions in the 21st century and everything in between. The book's approach is done with interviews with over sixty musicians from the fifties to the current time, complete with over 80 b&w and color photos submitted by many of the same musicians. This story needs to be told because no one has ever tried anything like it before. Being so informative of music, it has been this author's dream to tell this story because of an easy camaraderie with the musicians.
