Browse this Book on GoogleEnduring Motives examines tradition and religious beliefs as they are expressed in landscape, the built environment, visual symbols, stories, and ritual. Bringing together archaeologists and Native American experts, this volume focuses on long-lived religious traditions of the native peoples of the Americas and how religion codifies, justifies, and reinforces these traditions by placing a high value on continuity of beliefs and practice. Using clues from the archaeological record to piece together the oldest religions of the Americas, Enduring Motives is organized into four parts. Part 1 creates continuity through structure, iconography, and sacred stories that correspond to culture-specific symbolic representations of the universe. Part 2 explores the encoding of tradition in place and object, or how people use objects to enliven tradition and pass it on to future generations. Part 3 examines stability and change and shows how traditions can evolve over time without losing their core cultural significance. The final part recognizes deep-time traditions through the evidence of ancient cosmology and religious tradition. Spanning cultures as diverse as the Aztec, Plains Indians, Hopi, Mississippian, and Southwest Pueblo, Enduring Motives brings to light new insights on ancient religious beliefs, practices, methods, and techniques, which allow otherwise intangible facets of culture to be productively explored.

History of the Thirty-second Regiment: Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry is a substantial late 19th century regimental history compiled under the direction of editor E. Z. Hays, chairman of the unit?s historical committee, and printed in 1896. It traces the organization of the 32nd Ohio from its 1861 formation at Camp Bartley near Mansfield through four years of Civil War service, emphasizing accurate dates, places, and firsthand recollections without rhetorical flourish. The narrative moves chronologically through early operations in western Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley, including Bull Pasture Mountain, Cross Keys, and the controversial surrender at Harpers Ferry, setting the regiment?s experience within the larger movements of Union armies in the eastern theater. Subsequent chapters follow the regiment westward into the Vicksburg campaign, garrison and expeditionary duty in Mississippi and Louisiana, reenlistment as veteran volunteers, and participation in the Atlanta Campaign, March to the Sea, and Carolinas operations that culminated in Johnston?s surrender and the Grand Review in Washington. Rich in soldier?written sketches and incident, the volume combines official chronology with personal anecdote, offering detailed accounts of field service, casualties, captures, and reorganizations, as well as an index that facilitates research into particular battles, officers, and companies.
