Henry McPherson land grant paperwork
No full textA variety of records regarding James and Henry McPherson's land grants within the Seneca reservation as provided in the treaties of St. Mary's and Lewistown. The documents include an affidavit from James McPherson in which he chooses a section of land as laid out the 1817 Treaty of St. Mary's. The second image is a plat of the area showing James and Henry McPherson's land claims. In regards to Henry McPherson's claim of a full section of 640 acres, the documents include a copy of deed from the Seneca Nation for a half-section of land, and a draft of a letter from Henry McPherson to General Joseph Vance in support of his claim to a full section.

Henry Adams, Jr. letter to father, February 5, 1952
No full textThis letter was written by Henry Adams Jr. to his father, Henry Adams, expressing his feelings and experiences during his time in the army. Junior, as he was called in the family, had been posted to Alaska after his basic Army training, and assigned to an otherwise all-white company.
In this three-page letter written on decorative notepaper, Junior writes about his army experiences, and says that he feels like Jackie Robinson, a test case for integrated units in the military. The United States Army was not integrated during World War II; African Americans and whites served in separate units. Harry Truman issued an executive order intended to end segregation in the Army in January of 1948, and letters such as this indicate that the executive order took some time to become fully effective
Norma Coverdale, B.A.: the treatment of women in selected works of Henry de Montherlant
No full textThe aim of this thesis is to determine how women are treated in selectedworks of Henry de Montherlant. This is explored by examining their relationshipswith other women as well as with men. Inevitably, this leads to an analysis ofthe multifaceted area of love. Part I researches Montherlant's prose work and included in this section is the investigation of the importance of 'l'ordre male' to the author and the influence this exerts over his early prose work in the areas of tauromachy, war and sport, and where the male adherence to this concept leaves women. The 'syncretisme et alternance' which is central to Montherlant's thinking is explored in this section.Part 2 is concerned with Montherlant's theatre in which the psychological development of the main characters is of great importance. It is in this section that a comparative study is made of the influence of Mme. Elisabeth Zehrfuss' written contribution to La Reine morte. Her unpublished notes are set out in full in the Appendix. The thesis also draws on the unpublished correspondence between Henry de Montherlant and Elisabeth Zehrfuss between the years 1934 and 1945. An investigation is made as to whether or not there are any differences between the way women are treated in Montherlant's prose and in his theatre and the conclusion is drawn that there are
Reflections of contemporary socio-political and religious controversies in William Shakespeare's Henry IV parts 1 and 2, Henry V and Henry VI parts 1, 2 and 3
No full textWhile the general idea is to illustrate how William Shakespeare reflected the
contemporary conflicts and problems of the Elizabethan society, the particular
aim of the thesis is to offer a close critical analysis of Shakespeare's Henry IV
Part 1 and Part 2, Henry V and Henry VI Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 plays in an
eclectic critical approach derived from the theoretical principles of New
Historicism and Cultural Materialism. In order to provide a better understanding
of the plays studied in the thesis, there is a presentation of the development of
drama, both religious and secular, in the Reformation period. In addition to this,
main features of Cultural Materialism and New Historicism are given. The
English Reformation and its effects on drama have been given in the introductory
chapter. In the first chapter, contemporary religious controversies as reflected in
Shakespeare's 1 and 2 Henry VI plays are discussed. The second chapter deals
with the reflections of contemporary social conflicts in especially the Jack Cade
episode of Shakespeare's 2 Henry VI. In the third chapter, reflections of political
conflicts in Shakespeare's Henry V, Henry V, and Henry VI plays are analysed in
terms of the appropriation of commoners by the ruling class for the preservation
of the dominant order. The thesis concludes that the plays are polyvalent in
meaning and thus open to further academic discussions for the years to come
