Remembering Those Buried Beneath the CedarsSections of the oldest cemeteries in East Texas contain the history of our state. Grave stones "speak" the names of those who were brave enough to seek a new beginning, leave behind loved ones and travel long distances. Who were these men and women? What can we learn from them? Surely their stories are worth remembering and by doing so we honor their efforts. What religions did they practice and where did these settlers establish churches and cemeteries? How did they mark the graves? Seeking answers to these and other questions, I found myself walking through old burial grounds in Cherokee County and began to notice majestic cedar trees. This led me to ponder, would cedar trees be present in other pioneer cemeteries found throughout East Texas and what might the significance be.The first chapter presents an overview of these topics. Chapter Two examines the presence of cedars in cemeteries located in both Texas and Tennessee, suggesting the pioneers not only brought their religion with them but the significance of the cedar tree as well. Over fifty East Texas cemeteries are featured in this publication with stories of settlers buried at each site. The search for cedar trees and pioneer graves took place over a period of several years. In the process, photographs were made at each location. Research consisted of interviews with descendants, time spent in libraries, archives and museums. Additional information was gathered from relevant websites. Especially helpful were documents preserved by Daughters of the Republic of Texas, the Masonic Grand Lodge of Texas, the Texas Historical Commission and Texas State Archives. African American community leaders shared their stories, documents and photographs. The Texas A&M Forest Service provided much needed expertise, with Foresters from the Districts of Jacksonville and Pittsburg as onsite resources.

In the years between the world wars, Manhattan's Fourteenth Street-Union Square district became a center for commercial, cultural, and political activities, and hence a sensitive barometer of the dramatic social changes of the period. It was here that four urban realist painters--Kenneth Hayes Miller, Reginald Marsh, Raphael Soyer, and Isabel Bishop--placed their images of modern "new women." Bargain stores, cheap movie theaters, pinball arcades, and radical political organizations were the backdrop for the women shoppers, office and store workers, and consumers of mass culture portrayed by these artists. Ellen Wiley Todd deftly interprets the painters' complex images as they were refracted through the gender ideology of the period. This is a work of skillful interdisciplinary scholarship, combining recent insights from feminist art history, gender studies, and social and cultural theory. Drawing on a range of visual and verbal representations as well as biographical and critical texts, Todd balances the historical context surrounding the painters with nuanced analyses of how each artist's image of womanhood contributed to the continual redefining of the "new woman's" relationships to men, family, work, feminism, and sexuality.

"In this magnificent book, Oliver Schuchard provides more than sixty-five exquisite black-and-white photographs spanning his thirty-eight years of photography. In addition, he explains the aesthetic rationale and techniques he used in order to produce these photographs, emphasizing the profound differences between, yet necessary interdependence of, craft and content. Although Schuchard believes that craft is important, he maintains that the idea behind the photograph and the emotional content of the image are equally vital and are, in fact, functions of one another. The author also shares components of his life experience that he believes helped shape his development as an artist and a teacher. He chose the splendid photographs included in this book from among nearly 5,000 negatives that had been exposed all over the world, from Missouri to Maine, California, Alaska, Colorado, France, Newfoundland, and Hawaii, among many other locations. Approximately 250 negatives survived the initial review, and each of those was printed before a final decision was made on which photographs were to be featured in the book. The final choices are representative of Schuchard's work and serve to substantiate his belief that craft, concept, and self must be fully understood and carefully melded for a good photograph to occur. This amazing work by award-winning photographer Oliver Schuchard will be treasured by professional and amateur photographers alike, as well as by anyone who simply enjoys superb photography."--Publishers website.

" Among the darkest corners of Kentucky’s past are the grisly feuds that tore apart the hills of Eastern Kentucky from the late nineteenth century until well into the twentieth. Now, from the tangled threads of conflicting testimony, John Ed Pearce, Kentucky’s best known journalist, weaves engrossing accounts of six of the most notorior accounts to uncover what really happened and why. His story of those days of darkness brings to light new evidence, questions commonly held beliefs about the feuds, and us and long-running feuds—those in Breathitt, Clay Harlan, Perry, Pike, and Rowan counties. What caused the feuds that left Kentucky with its lingering reputation for violence? Who were the feudists, and what forces—social, political, financial—hurled them at each other? Did Big Jim Howard really kill Governor William Goebel? Did Joe Eversole die trying to protect small mountain landowners from ruthless Eastern mineral exploiters? Did the Hatfield-McCoy fight start over a hog? For years, Pearce has interviewed descendants of feuding families and examined skimpy court records and often fictional newspapeputs to rest some of the more popular legends.

Much of Louis Chevalier's Paris faced the wrecking ball in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, as Georges Pompidou, Andre Malraux, and their cadres of technocratic elites sought to proclaim the glory of the new France by reinventing its capital in brutal visions of glass and steel.
