Book Description
Excerpt from Address of the Hon. James Sidney Rollins, of Missouri, on the Progress of Our Country: Delivered Before the Alumni Association of the Indiana University, at Bloomington, on Tuesday Evening, June 27th, 1871 To me this is an eventful occasion. I come before you under circumstances rarely associated with the life of any man circumstances fraught with personal considerations that gladden the heart, and quicken the understanding. Forty-one years ago, in September next, when but a lad of seventeen years of age, I here graduated; and, favored with the honors of this then infant institution, I took my departure, with my parents, for the far West, to seek a home beyond the Father of Waters. I left Bloomington a boy without experience: I now return to this sacred spot, for the first time since, a man of ripe years, and with more than ordinary experience in public and in private life.

A Union Indivisible
Author: Michael D. RobinsonPublisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469633795
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
Many accounts of the secession crisis overlook the sharp political conflict that took place in the Border South states of Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri. Michael D. Robinson expands the scope of this crisis to show how the fate of the Border South, and with it the Union, desperately hung in the balance during the fateful months surrounding the clash at Fort Sumter. During this period, Border South politicians revealed the region's deep commitment to slavery, disputed whether or not to leave the Union, and schemed to win enough support to carry the day. Although these border states contained fewer enslaved people than the eleven states that seceded, white border Southerners chose to remain in the Union because they felt the decision best protected their peculiar institution. Robinson reveals anew how the choice for union was fraught with anguish and uncertainty, dividing families and producing years of bitter internecine violence. Letters, diaries, newspapers, and quantitative evidence illuminate how, in the absence of a compromise settlement, proslavery Unionists managed to defeat secession in the Border South.
But I Forget That I Am a Painter and Not a Politician
Author: George Caleb BinghamPublisher:
ISBN: 9780981693927
Category : Biography
Languages : en
Pages : 564
Book Description
George Caleb Bingham, who earned the sobriquet of "the Missouri artist," evolved from a locally known portrait painter to an artist of national renown. His letters illuminate the complex personality of a man actively involved in the political, social, and cultural life of nineteenth-century America -- an eyewitness to westward expansion, a firsthand observer of river and rail commerce, and a participant in the Civil War. [...] In a fascinating introduction, Joan Stack summarizes Bingham's artistic career. She focuses on the artist's efforts to market himself as a "western" painter and finds that much of his national reputation in the nineteenth century derived from the genre and political paintings of the 1840s and 1850s, particularly those from which prints were made and widely distributed. Readers interested in nineteenth-century Missouri will find these letters from the pen of an artist who maintained a keen connection to the political affairs of his time truly engaging.
