Summary: In 1886, at the first session of Rawlinsville Camp Meeting, the founders could not have imagined that they were initiating what has become a one hundred year old institution in Southern Lancaster County. Rawlinsville Camp Meeting is a cohesive force among the Methodist churches of the area, and has influenced the lives of literally thousands of persons across five generations...Rawlinsville Camp Meeteing is owned by the fourteen United Methodist Churches in Southern Lancaster County, and all income is used in support of the program and physical facilities...In recognition of the centennial anniversary, the Rawlinsville Camp Meeting Association commissioned a commemorative booklet and appointed a committee to produce it. The history of the 'camp' in the 50th anniversary song book was so well done and so complete that it has been reproduced here. It is followed by an expanded view of the camp background plus, of course, history and information pertaining to the second fifty years." [forward]

Physical Description: xxi, 946 p. : ill., maps ; 25 cm.

Series: America, a cultural history ; v. 1

Notes: Includes index.; Includes genealogical charts.; Bibliography: p. 907-909.

Summary: This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins.While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations. [from the publisher]; "More a reference book than a book you read straight through, this book advances the fascinating thesis that four groups of immigrants from England ( Albion ) essentially set much of what we now regard as American culture. The links between these four waves of immigrants from particular parts of England, and the Yankee, patrician Virginia, Quaker/Philadelphia, and Appalachian hill cultures, are documented.Its fascinating to see traits that seem inexplicable and odd traced back to obscure corners of 17th and 18th century England. We're talking about the way houses look, the way people get married, their attitude toward government, you name it." [from GoodReads]

Summary: The Ambiguous Iroquois Empire: The Covenant Chain Confederation of the Indian Tribes with English Colonies is Francis Jennings's second volume of his trilogy about Indian-white relations in America. In this volume he looks at the Parkman view of the Iroquois Confederacy as an empire and exposes the shortcomings of Parkman's perspective. Jennings describes the idea of the covenant chain as the binding relationship between the Iroquois and English colonies from their beginnings to the Treaty of Lancaster in 1744. Jennings (1918-2002) was the former director of the Newberry Library Center for the History of the American Indian.
