Townsend

By: Missy Tipton Green and Paulette Ledbetter

Missy Tipton Green and Paulette Ledbetter recall the rich past in this fascinating pictorial history. Situated in Tuckaleechee Cove, one of several limestone windows on the northern base of the Smoky Mountains, is Townsend, Tennessee, also known as the Peaceful Side of the Smokies. Native Americans were the first inhabitants of Tuckaleechee Cove. By the time the first Europeans arrived in the late 18th century, the Cherokee villages had been abandoned. In the 1880s, the lumber industry was in full swing thanks to two key innovations: the band saw and the logging railroad. With the coming of industrialization, the isolated farming community of Tuckaleechee Cove was transformed in the bustling mill town of Townsend. In 1894, E.J. Kinzel started a mountain retreat in Tuckaleechee Cove, which in later years turned into a mountain hotel with two healing mineral springs.

Cades Cove

By: Missy Tipton Green,Paulette Ledbetter

Cades Cove came into existence in 1821, when William "Fighting Billy" Tipton was granted 1,280 acres of fine fertile land in the first recorded legal land title to Cades Cove following the Calhoun Treaty of 1819. The area was established as the 16th Civil District of Blount County. At its peak in 1900, the census showed that there were 125 families living in the cove and over 700 individuals. The Cades Cove people were self-sufficient and had many conveniences that others did not. Some residents made their own water system, and there were blacksmiths, coffin makers, farmers, storekeepers, postmasters, and many more occupations--there was no need to go out of their beloved cove for anything. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, this land was obtained by the State of Tennessee through eminent domain, and it later became the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Walland

By: Missy Tipton Green & Paulette Ledbetter

Approximately 10 miles long, Walland, Tennessee, is situated along the Chilhowee Ridge where the Little River naturally divides the mountain. Early on, both Baptist and Methodist churches were established, and the area's Baptist church was the first permanent Baptist church in Blount County. Amerine Forge, operated by George Amerine, was the largest ironworks in Blount County from 1845 to 1860. In 1901, Schlosser Leather Company opened a tannery, making it the largest industry in the county.

Historic Faulkner County

By: Paulette H. Walter,Alan C. Paulson,Paulson

The Arkansas River, which runs along the western edge of Faulkner County, has remained a primary thoroughfare since before the time when settlers followed the first European explorers into the heart of Arkansas and points west. The county was located near the horseshoe-shaped bend in the Arkansas River, which provided an ideal location for these settlers' cattle raising and crop production. The railroad's Conway Station soon became the county seat of the newly established Faulkner County. From Faulkner County's emergence as a farming and railroad community to the development of manufacturing and military training facilities, this engaging photographic history mingles fact with rich storytelling. Within these pages, discover rare photographs that illustrate a variety of the area's historic claims to fame, including the establishment of the University of Central Arkansas, the Ward Bus Company, the WAAC training camp, and Faulkner County's fiddle-playing namesake.

Object Performance in the Black Atlantic

The United States

By: Paulette Richards

Given that slaveholders prohibited the creation of African-style performing objects, is there a traceable connection between traditional African puppets, masks, and performing objects and contemporary African American puppetry? This study approaches the question by looking at the whole performance complex surrounding African performing objects and examines the material culture of object performance. Object Performance in the Black Atlantic argues that since human beings can attribute private, personal meanings to objects obtained for personal use such as dolls, vessels, and quilts, the lines of material culture continuity between African and African American object performance run through objects that performed in ritual rather than theatrical capacity. Split into three parts, this book starts by outlining the spaces where the African American object performance complex persisted through the period of slavery. Part Two traces how African Americans began to reclaim object performance in the era of Jim Crow segregation and Part Three details how increased educational and economic opportunities along with new media technologies enabled African Americans to use performing objects as a powerful mode of resistance to the objectification of Black bodies. This is an essential study for any students of puppetry and material performance, and particularly those concerned with African American performance and performance in North America more broadly.

Women, Money & Cheesecake

The Sweet Truth About You and Your Money

By: Brona Pinnolis,Linda A. Tripp,Paulette Williamson

When we decided to write this book, one of the first questions we asked ourselves was, Does the world need another book about money? There are tons of them out there: books about how money works, the mistakes people make with their money, trying to understand the stock market, and on and on --a virtual deluge of facts, opinions and approaches. So, let us ask you a question. How is it going with all that information? Have you put any of it to use yet? Did you finish the book? Did you feel so depressed about checking yes to just about every mistake listed in some of the books that you said to yourself, It's hopeless. Do you now find yourself in more or less the same place you started, just somewhat more confused? Put that all away now. The guilt stops here. This is a no-recrimination zone. This book is not really about money; it is about you and your untapped ability to create a space for financial success in your life. No matter where you are, no matter what side of the street you live on, no matter how much or how little you have, how young or old you are, you can do something for yourself starting today using the incredible resource you already possess: your own character. Don't get us wrong. It is great to gather information about money and become more informed. However, we are all unique individuals. This book is about recognizing what works for you in this vast sea of financial data. It is the sweet truth about you and your money.

Situated in Tuckaleechee Cove, one of several "limestone windows" on the northern base of the Smoky Mountains, is Townsend, Tennessee, also known as the "Peaceful Side of the Smokies." Native Americans were the first inhabitants of Tuckaleechee Cove. By the time the first Europeans arrived in the late 18th century, the Cherokee villages had been abandoned. In the 1880s, the lumber industry was in full swing thanks to two key innovations: the band saw and the logging railroad. With the coming of industrialization, the isolated farming community of Tuckaleechee Cove was transformed in the bustling mill town of Townsend. In 1894, E.J.
