The collection consists of papers of and about John Ball, particularly relating to his journey to Oregon with Nathaniel J. Wyeth's expedition and his observations during that journey. Except for two items, the contents are either typescript copies or microfilm of the originals. The two original items are: a February 24, 1833, letter from Ball to Amos Eaton, describing the meteorological and geological observations Ball had made on his journey; and a copy of an article by Ball about the geography and geology of the Northwest, published in the American Journal of Science and Arts. Typescript copies of Ball's papers in this collection include additional correspondence and meteorological notes that Ball made during his time with Nathaniel J. Wyeth's expedition and at Fort Vancouver, and lectures that Ball delivered about his meteorological and geological observations of the western United States. Correspondents in the collection include Ball's family, Amos Eaton, Hall J. Kelley, and Benjamin Silliman. The microfilm in this collection consists of the originals for most of these materials. The microfilm also contains additional correspondence and documents preceding Ball's journey westward; Ball's 1874 autobiography; and an article about the geology of the Cascade Mountains. The collection also contains a folder of the correspondence of Ball's daughters, Lucy Ball and Kate W. Ball Powers, with Eva Emery Dye, George H. Himes, Frederick G. Young, and others about Ball and his papers.

For centuries, the priest John Ball was one of the most infamous or famous figures in the history of English rebels, best known for his saying 'When Adam delved and Eve Span, Who was then the gentleman'. But over the past hundred years his memory has faded dramatically. Along with Wat Tyler, Ball was one of the leaders of the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, a historically remarkable event in that leading figures of the realm were beheaded by the rebels. For a few days in June 1381, the rebels dominated London but soon met their demise, with Ball executed. Ball provided the theological justification for the uprising which he saw in apocalyptic terms. After the revolt, he was soon vilified and received an overwhelmingly hostile press for 400 years as an archetypal enemy of the state and a religious zealot. His reputation was rescued from the end of the eighteenth century onward and for over one hundred years he rivalled Robin Hood and Wat Tyler as a great English folk (and even abolitionist) hero. But his 640-year reception involves much more, of course, and is tied up with the story of what England is or could be.Overall, the book explains how we get from an apocalyptic priest who promoted a theocracy favouring the lower orders and the decapitation of the leading church and secular authorities to someone who promoted democracy and vague notions about love and tolerance. The book also explains why he has gone out of fashion and whether he can make another comeback.

Indispensable for an understanding of the beginnings of the Dada movement and Dada in Zurich."—Rudolf Kuenzli, Director, International Dada Archive "In Flight Out of Time one can follow Dada's unfolding and expansion almost day-by-day."—Charles Haxthausen, coeditor, Berlin: Culture and Metropolis
Spanning the era from the American Revolution to the Civil War, these nine pathbreaking original essays explore the unexpected, competing, or contradictory ways in which southerners made sense of manhood. Employing a rich variety of methodologies, the contributors look at southern masculinity within African American, white, and Native American communities; on the frontier and in towns; and across boundaries of class and age. Until now, the emerging subdiscipline of southern masculinity studies has been informed mainly by conclusions drawn from research on how the planter class engaged issues of honor, mastery, and patriarchy. But what about men who didn’t own slaves or were themselves enslaved? These essays illuminate the mechanisms through which such men negotiated with overarching conceptions of masculine power. Here the reader encounters Choctaw elites struggling to maintain manly status in the market economy, black and white artisans forging rival communities and competing against the gentry for social recognition, slave men on the southern frontier balancing community expectations against owner domination, and men in a variety of military settings acting out community expectations to secure manly status. As Southern Manhood brings definition to an emerging subdiscipline of southern history, it also pushes the broader field in new directions. All of the essayists take up large themes in antebellum history, including southern womanhood, the advent of consumer culture and market relations, and the emergence of sectional conflict.
