Book Description
Excerpt from Autobiography of John E. Massey I hope that without prejudice I have assembled in this book all of Mr. Massey's material of pub lic interest. I say without prejudice, for I would have been a Debvtpaying Democrat if I had been old enough, while all the members of my family gave their political strength to defeat the Read juster movement. In building the book, as I think Mr. Massey would have done, giving a con nected history of Readjusterism from the point of view of the Father of Readjustment as well as Mr. Massey's autobiography, as far as possible in the Parson's own vigorous language, I have endeavored to portray the unique personality of one of the most important of those persons that dominated the political life of Virginia during the last century.

Book Description
Excerpt from Autobiography of John E. Massey Mr. Massey intended to make two books out of his material - one a history of the Readjuster movement in Virginia, the other his autobiography. This material consisted of letters, notes in his handwriting, and newspaper clippings. He died soon after he had finished the compilation of his data, leaving the material in unpublishable form, and not even in chronological sequence. I hope that without prejudice I have assembled in this book all of Mr. Massey's material of public interest. I say without prejudice, for I would have been a Debtpaying Democrat if I had been old enough, while all the members of my family gave their political strength to defeat the Readjuster movement. In building the book, as I think Mr. Massey would have done, giving a connected history of Readjusterism from the point of view of the "Father of Readjustment" as well as Mr. Massey's autobiography, as far as possible in the "Parson's" own vigorous language, I have endeavored to portray the unique personality of one of the most important of those persons that dominated the political life of Virginia during the last century.

Circles and Lines
Author: John Demos
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674034198
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
In this intimate, engaging book, John Demos offers an illuminating portrait of how colonial Americans, from the first settlers to the postrevolutionary generation, viewed their life experiences. He also offers an invaluable inside look into the craft of a master social historian as he unearths--in sometimes unexpected places--fragments of evidence that help us probe the interior lives of people from the faraway past. The earliest settlers lived in a traditional world of natural cycles that shaped their behavior: day and night; seasonal rhythms; the lunar cycle; the life cycle itself. Indeed, so basic were these elements that "almost no one felt a need to comment on them." Yet he finds cyclical patterns--in the seasonal foods they ate, in the spike in marriages following the autumn harvest. Witchcraft cases reveal the different emotional reactions to day versus night, as accidental mishaps in the light become fearful nighttime mysteries. During the transitional world of the American Revolution, people began to see their society in newer terms but seemed unable or unwilling to come to terms with that novelty. Americans became new, Demos points out, before they fully understood what it meant. Their cyclical frame of reference was coming unmoored, giving way to a linear world view in early nineteenth-century America that is neatly captured by Kentucky doctor Daniel Drake's description of the chronography of his life. In his meditation on these three worlds, Demos brilliantly demonstrates how large historical forces are reflected in individual lives. With the imaginative insights and personable touch that we have come to expect from this fine chronicler of the human condition, "Circles and Lines" is vintage John Demos.
