Henry Darwin Rogers, 1808–1866
Author: Patsy Gerstner
Publisher: University of Alabama Press
ISBN: 0817358196
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
Henry Darwin Rogers is a familiar figure in the history of American geology, especially as the director of the first state geological surveys of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Although best remembered for the survey work, Rogers considered his theory of mountain elevation to be his most important scientific legacy. Based on studies of the Appalachian Mountains, Rogers's elevation theory was the first American explanation of the dynamics of elevation. As a study of the Pennsylvania survey, this volume offers new insight into the origin and problems associated with early surveys. As a study of Rogers's life and work, it presents a portrait of a man with strong convictions and dedication and examines the development and application of his ideas.

Book Description
Argues that in the 1830s and 1840s, all three main US political parties, despite their rhetorical differences, maintained consensus about citizenship training through educating children, which produced the first generation of politically passive Americans content to vote loyally for their party and demand little or no input into the formation of its platform. This in turn, is seen as essential for building the type of political party that has endured since. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Backwoods Utopias
Author: Arthur Bestor
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 1512809640
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
The new society that the world awaited might yet be born in the humble guise of a backwoods village. This was the belief shared by the many groups which moved into the American frontier to create experimental communities—communities which they hoped would be models for revolutionary changes in religion, politics, economics, and education in American society. For, as James Madison wrote, the American Republic was "useful in proving things before held impossible." The communitarian ideal had its roots in the radical Protestant sects of the Reformation. Arthur Bestor shows the connection between the "holy commonwealths" of the colonial period and the nonsectarian experiments of the nineteenth century. He examines in particular detail Robert Owen's ideals and problems in creating New Harmony. Two essays have been added to this volume for the second edition. In these, "Patent-Office Models of the Good Society" and "The Transit of Communitarian Socialism to America," Bestor discusses the effects of the frontier and of the migration of European ideas and people on these communities. He holds that the communitarians could believe in the possibility of nonviolent revolution through imitation of a small perfect society only as long as they saw American institutions as flexible. By the end of the nineteenth century, as American society became less plastic, belief in the power of successful models weakened.
