After the fall of Fort Sumter in April 1861, Thomas Isaac Lenoir, a landholder, slaveowner, and farmer from the Pigeon River's East Fork region, and Col. Joseph Cathey, a respected farmer, merchant, and politician in the Forks of Pigeon community, assembled a band of zealous volunteers who had poured out of the North Carolina hills to fight the Yankees. Lenoir, at the age of forty-three, was unanimously elected captain of the fledgling military unit his mountaineers styled the "Haywood Highlanders." On July 18, 1861, after the requisite number of men had enlisted to form a company, Captain Lenoir marched the Haywood Highlanders off to Asheville to join the fray. The Haywood volunteers began learning the rudiments of soldiering and were quickly assimilated into the 25th Regiment North Carolina Troops as Company F. For the ensuing months the captain recorded in his personal diary the various activities and movements of his company as well as many other events and impressions as the mountaineers defended the Carolina coastal regions. The commander's recordings not only lay bare the plight and lifestyle of t
Abby Guy was an illiterate slave woman, but bold and audacious, who took the slave establishment to court and put race and slavery on trial before a jury. She lived three decades as a slave and then ten years as a free woman, wife, widow and mother. In December of 1854 she and her four children were kidnapped by her former owner, William Daniel, and re-enslaved. Abby filed a Petition for Freedom in the Circuit Court in Hamburg, Ashley County, Arkansas, claiming that she was wrongfully enslaved and should be freed because she and her children were white. Her owner denied it, saying that she was born a slave and was still a slave. This is the true story of an audacious woman with an unconquerable spirit, Abby Guy.Involved in this story are 19th century Arkansas figures Augustus H. Garland, James Yell, Theodoric F. Sorrels, John C. Waddell, Benoni S. Dubose, Josiah Gould, and Supreme Court Justices Elbert H. English, Thomas Hanley, and Hulbert F. Fairchild.

Esta nueva edición del libro de Juan Carlos Tedesco -reconocida autoridad en la materia- "Educación y Sociedad en la Argentina (1880-1945)", confirma tanto su importancia como su vigencia. La publicación inicial constituyó, en su momento, un aporte significativo a la renovación de los estudios de historia de la educación argentina, al inaugurar renovadas perspectivas interpretativas y establecer rumbos "'que sirvieron de orientación para los trabajos que posteriormente se fueron elaborando. Por consiguiente, en toda la bibliografía reciente sobre el tema se encuentran huellas de las ideas de Tedesco, circunstancia que corrobora su fecundidad e interés. Pero, sobre todo, se convirtió en un texto indispensable utilizado en todas las universidades e institutos de enseñanza superior. En otra oportunidad hemos sostenido el requisito, en materia educativa, de "considerar metas claras, acordes con las necesidades contemporáneas y las previsibles. Es decir, que la elaboración de los nuevos modelos o propuestas no pueden prescindir del análisis y del conocimiento de lo realizado por las generaciones que nos precedieron" Este proceso, cuyos logros destaca J.C. Tedesco con seriedad y rigor, hacen de este trabajo de carácter histórico -con vibración bien actual- una aportación sustantiva para enfrentar un problema capital: la educación. El lector interesado, hallará en sus planteamientos reflexiones valiosas y estímulos infrecuentes para proseguir especulando sobre un tema de tanta trascendencia y permanente actualidad.

One of the hardest fighting regiments in the Civil War, the First Delaware Volunteers battled in virtually every engagement with the Army of the Potomac's Second Corps from Antietam to Appomattox. One of only and handful of regiments from a slave state, the First Delaware would pay a higher price than many for the cost of restoring a broken country. The Delawareans seemed destined to always be found at the worst possible position; at the worst possible moment; on the worst of all battlefields. As if the gods of war themselves deemed that these slave state volunteers pay a larger price than others for "every drop of blood drawn by the lash." Largely forgotten in post-Civil War memory, They Fought for the Union revisits these Border State soldiers through a wealth of untapped sources, personal accounts and soldier's diaries while always placing these conflicted soldiers into the larger context of the Army of the Potomac's struggles in the Eastern theater of the war. From the original recruitment as a three-month regiment to the end of the conflict four years later, the author's candid retelling of these extra
Argentina, a lo largo de su historia como país independiente, se ha caracterizado por ser receptor de poblaciones de origen europeo y de las repúblicas limítrofes. Sin embargo, desde mediados del siglo XX, simultáneamente a este fenómeno comenzó a producirse otro de signo inverso: por diversas causas los argentinos comenzaron a emigrar, aumentando el flujo a partir de la crisis institucional y socioeconómica que envolvió al país a principios de este siglo. Esta última etapa se caracterizó porque los que emigraron fueron, en general, jóvenes de sectores de clase media urbana que intentaban escapar del desempleo, la inseguridad o el desanimo. De como desarrollan su vida en España trata este libro, un espacio que se abre para que cuenten sus "historias de acá".
This is the only modern, published account of the Soldier?s Orphan Schools of Pennsylvania.? A bureaucrat of the system wrote a so-called history in 1873 but it is very self-serving and devoid of any critical analysis. Also included, a bonus feature on the Ill-Fated Gettsyburg Orphanage. ????? The Soldier?s Orphan Schools of Pennsylvania, 1864- 1889 were unique to the history of the nation.? They were the first historical example of a government attempting to nurture and educate the children of soldiers killed in war. During the 25 years of its existence, over ten thousand children passed through the Soldiers' Orphan Schools of Pennsylvania.?? ????? Established largely through the efforts of Governor Andrew Gregg Curtin, they were not orphanages but privately owned boarding schools funded by the state which took in soldiers' orphans between the ages of eight and sixteen.? ??? While they designed a rigid academic plan of studies, the well-known professional educators who supervised the system for the state were mainly interested in the moral development of these children from the lower strata of society.?
