    James Gourdine Interview

    No full text
    In this 2016 interview, Dr. Eric Crawford, Coastal Carolina University faculty researcher, interviews James Raymond Gourdine, a genealogist, historian, and author of African Americans in the Civil War in South Carolina . Gourdine details how Major General David Hunter unofficially organized the first black regiment in the Union army in 1862, despite President Lincoln\u27s objections. This force consisted of freedmen and runaway slaves from South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. They also discuss how education levels varied amongst the slaves held in Florida and South Carolina, leading to the Floridian freedmen to be considered of better stock . In 1863, the rest of the Union followed suit, raising several exclusively African-American regiments of their own, following in Hunter\u27s example. Gourdine and Crawford discuss General Potter, who followed in Sherman\u27s March to the Sea, burning and looting Confederate land and homes. He then describes the creation of the 54th Massachusetts regiment by General Andrews and the taking of Georgetown in February 1865. James Gourdine was interviewed in his home outside of Florence, South Carolina.https://digitalcommons.coastal.edu/at-low-tide-oral-histories/1019/thumbnail.jp

    The Last Days of Big Grassy Fork

    No full text
    The Last Days of Big Grassy Fork recounts newspaperman Hunter James’s attempts to save his 100-year-old family farm and homestead from extinction. Wise, irreverent, pugnacious, and often hilarious, James fights back against the galloping urbanization of his beloved North Carolina Piedmont. Interweaving current affairs and family history, James details the growth of the Winston-Salem area as a center of Moravian piety and later as the world’s largest tobacco manufacturing center. This personal history shows he is not the only James to have had a difficult time fitting in with the neighbors’ idea of progress; his family’s trouble in the Piedmont began early. In 1904 his grandfather was flooded out of a brothel in his birthday suit, and he later scandalized the local Baptist church with drunken sermons, exposing the dark secrets of the congregation. James’s unique sense of the absurd, and his willingness to play the fool, make for entertaining reading as each of his efforts at preservation fail miserably. He accidentally torches a neighbor’s barn in an attempt to burn off his best pasture land, as was always done in the past; he squanders enormous amounts of money vainly trying to save his farm by becoming the Piedmont’s preeminent lord of the manor, vintner, wine snob, and horseman; and he finally seals his own doom when in alliance with his neighbors he inadvertently creates the “world’s largest garbage pit.” The book ends with an eloquent plea for a true agrarianism in the modern South, for the need to strike a balance between the call for industrial expansion and the desire to preserve the land. In peeling away his romantic illusions, James offers an endlessly entertaining account of his own ill-conceived endeavors and his rather unromantic but highly entertaining family history. —North Carolina Literary Review The author—part Thoreau, part John Crow Ransom, part Wendell Berry—is, perhaps more than any of them, Mark Twain—or, more precisely, the self-deprecating, often hapless persona Twain often cultivated in his early autobiographical works. —Southern Cultureshttps://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_united_states_history/1092/thumbnail.jp

    Resurrecting the Celtic Model of Evangelism for the 21st Century: George G. Hunter, III

    Get PDF
    Dr. George G. Hunter III has been the premier author in alerting Christians in our current era to the ancient Celtic Christian style of evangelism and mission. This model, pioneered by St. Patrick, became the “greatest sustained Christian mission in Christianity’s history.”1 The contagious power of these Christians and their communities ushered in almost 1,000 years of Christian culture to Europe. Hunter identifies the Celtic Christians’ main strategies which can be fruitful in reaching today’s prodigals, “nones,” and modern “barbarians.” This model is urgently needed today since the United States has become the third largest mission field of non-Christians in the world

Grants and contracts news This column from the Office of Research and Graduate Studies focuses on initia­tives, issues, and important deadlines in grants and contracts activities. The National Science Foundation recently awarded the Department of Industrial and Engineering Technology a 53,000 grant titled "Enhancement of Two-Year Industrial and Engineering Technology Faculty in Current Industrial Quality Control Practices." The primary purpose of the grant is to upgrade community college technology faculty in quality assurance so that they can incorporate current practices into their curriculum. Twenty faculty from two-year institutions were selected as participants in the project. The initial activity was a weeklong applica­tions workshop at WCU involving quality-assurance fundamentals. Three field experiences at industrial sites will take place during the year, with a closing seminar scheduled for June 1993. Dr. George DeSain (Industrial and Engineer­ing Technology) is project director and has responsibility for the administration of the grant. Curriculum responsibilities will be shared by Dr. Jerry Cook (Industrial and Engineering Technol­ogy) and Mr. Gary Scalise, director of advance technology at Communications Electronics, a company in Asheville. The Reporter Re™ pNNof/eMw j/sr /r/\rrv> •tKhftreao FCm/na ei/cMu *l/+t%y / iamrnnWd W S taff of Western Carolina University January 29, 1993 Cullowhee, North Carolina Whole person healing Accentuate the positive? For recreational therapists, that's Rule Number One P "We're not detached from natural processes. We're physically at home in the natural environ­ment. So in nature, treatment interven­tions can be far more effective than in man made settings." Dr. Ed Kesgen eople can heal faster from physical, mental, or emotional traumas by concentrating on something positive. That's a basic premise in the field of therapeutic recreation—or recre­ational therapy, as the discipline is increasingly often called. Recreational therapists seek to provide positive recreational experiences as a part of treatment for patients in psychiatric hospitals, physical rehabilita­tion facilities, homes for the elderly, and other chronic-care and specialized programs. The idea is to improve patients' emotional well-being and quality of life, according to Dr. Ed Kesgen, the associate professor who heads Western Carolina University's program in therapeutic recreation. "One of the essential aspects of the job is to make people happy," Kesgen said. "The healing qualities of pleasant diversions have been known to physi­cians and philosophers for thousands of years." But recreational therapy is more than just a diversion for the patient. It's a carefully planned and implemented part of a structured treatment process. "We're talking about healing the whole person, about healing as inner peace. It's necessary to heal the spirit in order to heal the body," Kesgen said. It's a philosophy he shares with some sixty-five majors now in his program, one of only a few programs in the nation offering a bachelor's degree in the field. Through classroom study and clinical practice in regional hospitals and treatment centers, Kesgen's students learn to help patients by using art, sports, horticulture, music and dance, organized social events, and other similar techniques. Recreational therapy may also include values clarification, sensory awareness and environmental sensitivity exercises; leisure counseling, which is training for positive, productive use of leisure hours; and adventure-based counseling, outdoor activities that help patients communicate with peers and improves skill at analyzing personal behavior. Outdoor activities particularly appeal to human beings' instinctual harmony with nature, according to Kesgen. "We're not detached from natural • Ed Kesg en processes. We're physically at home in the natural environment, so in nature, treatment interventions can be far more effective than in manmade settings," he said. Employment opportunities in recreational therapy continue to grow, particularly in clinical settings. The field is especially open to men now, because most recreational therapists—as much as 85 percent—are women, Kesgen said. Therapeutic recreation majors at WCU complete internships of 480 hours at psychiatric treatment centers such as Highlands Hospital or Asheville's Appalachian Hall. When they graduate, the students are prepared for approval by North Carolina's Therapeutic Recreation Certification Board or the National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certifica­tion. Kesgen, the WCU program's only full-time faculty member, is assisted by adjunct faculty member Annette L. Jacobs, director of activity therapy at Appalachian Hall. Other cooperating facilities are Durham County Gerneral Hospital, the Medical University of South Carolina, and Northeast Tennes­see Rehabilitation Hospital in Johnson City, Tenn. - Joey Price News briefs GRADUATE FACULTY MEMBERS, LET YOUR STUDENTS KNOW that Hunter Library is accepting applica­tions from graduate students for study rooms in the library for spring semester.
