Book Description
Excerpt from Address of Hon. R. C. Parsons, Before the Pioneer Association, at North Solon, Ohio, August 30, 1876 I am here this morning because I feel under a great personal debt to the people of Solon. For nearly a quarter of a century they have been my warm and steadfast friends, and to them I owe a large and generous debt of gratitude, which time will serve rather to increase than diminish. And though no man can be more pain fully conscious than myself, of my utter inability to fill the place of the distinguished gentleman, our friend General garfield, who was expected here to-day, nor in the limited time allowed me for preparation can I do but scanty justice to myself, yet I felt bound, at any sacrifice of personal feeling, to come here in answer to your urgent call, and do the best in my power to entertain you for a few moments with some thoughts suggested by your gathering. I shall not attempt to retrace the history of your Soci ety, or take up your time in recalling the scenes in which so many of you have been actors, and with which all of you are familiar. All this has been done, and faithfully done, by those more familiar with the subject than myself, and who in former times have carefully pre served, and laid away for future use, the noble records of the pioneers of the Reserve. In this age of luxury, extravagance and wealth, with the iron-horse rushing by our dwellings, making neighbors of those separated by a continent; with the telegraph putting a girdle 'round the earth in forty seconds, ena bling men to converse with each other though widely sundered as the poles, the very word pioneer awakens a sensation in our bosoms like gazing upon the ruins of a bygone age.

Winning the West with Words
Author: James Joseph Buss
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806150408
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
Indian Removal was a process both physical and symbolic, accomplished not only at gunpoint but also through language. In the Midwest, white settlers came to speak and write of Indians in the past tense, even though they were still present. Winning the West with Words explores the ways nineteenth-century Anglo-Americans used language, rhetoric, and narrative to claim cultural ownership of the region that comprises present-day Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Historian James Joseph Buss borrows from literary studies, geography, and anthropology to examine images of stalwart pioneers and vanished Indians used by American settlers in portraying an empty landscape in which they established farms, towns, and “civilized” governments. He demonstrates how this now-familiar narrative came to replace a more complicated history of cooperation, adaptation, and violence between peoples of different cultures. Buss scrutinizes a wide range of sources—travel journals, captivity narratives, treaty council ceremonies, settler petitions, artistic representations, newspaper editorials, late-nineteenth-century county histories, and public celebrations such as regional fairs and centennial pageants and parades—to show how white Americans used language, metaphor, and imagery to accomplish the symbolic removal of Native peoples from the region south of the Great Lakes. Ultimately, he concludes that the popular image of the white yeoman pioneer was employed to support powerful narratives about westward expansion, American democracy, and unlimited national progress. Buss probes beneath this narrative of conquest to show the ways Indians, far from being passive, participated in shaping historical memory—and often used Anglo-Americans’ own words to subvert removal attempts. By grounding his study in place rather than focusing on a single group of people, Buss goes beyond the conventional uses of history, giving readers a new understanding not just of the history of the Midwest but of the power of creation narratives.
