This book provides historians and genealogists with a one-stop guide to every Civil War–related manuscript collection stored in Georgia’s many repositories. With this guide in hand, researchers will no longer spend countless hours pouring through online catalogs, emailing archivists, and wondering if they have exhausted every lead in their pursuit of firsthand information about the war and the experiences of those who lived through and were impacted by it. In assembling the first state-specific bibliography to be compiled since the Indiana and Illinois bibliographies were assembled for the Civil War Centennial in the 1960s, David Slay has expanded the scope of this survey to include works relating to women, African Americans, and social history, as well as the letters and diaries of soldiers who fought in the war, reflecting society’s evolving understanding and interest in this defining period of American life. In addition, this compilation is not confined to material produced from 1861 to 1865, but also includes collections spanning the lives of prominent Civil War figures, making it an invaluable source for biographers. Organized by institution, Georgia Civil War Manuscript Collections has many time-saving features, all designed to increase efficiency of research. Each collection description contains the title and catalog number used in the holding institution. Where possible, collection descriptions have been improved upon, providing the researcher with information beyond what is listed in the holding institution’s card catalog and finding aid. It also cross-references duplicate collections that are held in two or more institutions as microfilm or photocopies. Simply put, Georgia Civil War Manuscript Collections takes the mystery out of Civil War research in Georgia.

Fifty years ago, familiar images of the lottery would have been strange, as no state lottery existed then. Few researchers have uncovered the obscure role lotteries play in the changing composition of American taxation. Even less is known about what role race plays in this process. More than simply taxing those on the social margins, the emergence of state lotteries in contemporary American history represents something much more fundamental about state fiscal policy. This book not only uncovers the underlying racial factors that contextualize lottery proliferation in the U.S., but also reveals the racial consequences that lotteries have in terms of redistributing tax liability.

A Complete Genealogy of the Van Hoosear Family Embracing All Descendants of Rinear Van Hoosear
by David Hermon Van Hoosear
1902
A Mr. Van Hoosear was probably born in Holland before 1736, and immi- grated in the late 1750s or early 1760s to the south side of Long Island, New York. His only son, Rinear Van Hoosear (ca. 1756/1757- 1819), was born in Holland, served in the Revolutionary War, and married Mercy (Marcy?) Taylor in 1782. They lived in Connecticut, in New York, and finally in Wilton, Connecticut. Descendants and relatives lived in New England, New York and elsewhere. The introduction discusses and rejects the oft-stated belief that the Van Hoosear family are descendants of the Van Hoesen of The Netherlands.
This book discusses the work of Josâe Vasconcelos, Diego Rivera, Josâe Clemente Orozco, Emilio "El Indio" Fernâandez, El Santo, and Carlos Olvera. These artists--and many others--held diametrically opposed worldviews and used very different media while producing works during different decades. Nevertheless, each of these artists posited the fusion of the body with technology as key to forming an "authentic," Mexican identity.
