Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book, based on years of research, including extensive work in Guatemalan archives, illuminates the social, political, and cultural life of Guatemala and Central America during the nineteenth century through the lens of the University of San Carlos, Guatemala, the period's only institution of higher learning in Guatemala and the most prestigious one on the Central American isthmus. The major issues addressed include the relationships between institution-building and state formation; between the university and the development of a national and regional identity; and between modernism and Catholicism (still a central tension in the region's culture), including the discursive process of constructing an ideology that fused elements from the Enlightenment and the tradition of scholasticism. This book contributes to a growing body of revisionism by challenging a flawed liberal historiographical narrative that demarcates changes during the period along the lines of political transitions and insisting that this era be viewed within a broader context of fluidity and continuity in the region's history.

None. Condition: None. Quarto bifolium ca. 25,5x20,1 cm (10 x 8 ĵ in). 4 pp. Brown ink on yellowish wove paper. Fold marks, several light stains, but overall very good letters, written in a legible hand. With the original envelope, addressed to "Mr. Ephriam Mills, Georgia, Plains," with postal ink and U.S. postage stamp. Historically interesting collection of two content-rich original letters, documenting legal troubles of Minnesota pioneers. Both letters, written in July 1859, are addressed to Ephriam Mills of Plains, Georgia. The first was authored by Eliyah C. Mears (ca. 1807-1878), a pioneer farmer of Pleasant Grove (established in 1854), and the second by his sister-in-law Sylva (ca. 1802-1886) and likely his nephew Marion Pattridge (ca. 1835-?). The letters detail the financial struggles of Prescott P. Pattridge (ca. 1828-1883), a relative of all three authors. As follows from the text, Prescott had mortgaged his land property to Mills, but due to mounting debts was unable to fulfill his financial obligations. To protect the property from creditors who were aggressively claiming it, Prescott secretly transferred the land to Eliyah C. Mears. This created a legal complication, as Mills still had a mortgage on the property, and the creditors' claims were still unresolved. In the letters, the authors explain the situation to Mills, request his understanding, and ask for leniency on the mortgage. They also discuss John Cooper Woodworth (ca. 1818-1901), who had taken possession of the property and was refusing to vacate it despite Mears' legal efforts. In the rest of the letters, the authors, complain about the harsh economic conditions, express hope for a good crop harvest, and describe Prescott's desperate decision to join the California Gold Rush after discouraging news from Pike's Peak. Overall, historically interesting collection of two content-rich letter, regarding legal negotiations in the early years of Minnesota Territory.   Excerpts from the first letter (original spelling preserved): By request of Mrs. Pattridge I have thought proper to write to you, respecting Prescott's affair and also your intent in this place.  In the first place, Prescott was possessed with rather a daring spirit but was not sufficiently cautious and did not look forward for - . He supposed that good times would last always, but in that we have all been deceived, and it has been a great lesson to the people of Minnesota. Prescott had got deeply involved in debt and would have worked himself out if the times had held good. He had a valuable farm and had built splendid house which cost 3000 dollars and a barn worth 12 or 15 hundred and was doing good business keeping a stage house. At the time that he loaned money of you he did not dream of disappointing you in any instance. The property that you have a mortgage on, would be worth 4000 dollars quick, if there was any money in the country and there is no other mortgage on the property. Prescott had sold a part of the property and received 2000$ in land in march AD 1858 and gave a bond for a deed? Notes of 7,50 dollars with interest at ten percent per - was done the second day at last march, but not one cent was paid. Prescott foreseeing the trouble that was coming from demands against him sold the whole property to me and assigned the notes he had of John C Woodworth over to me for fear that his auditor might levy on those notes and frustrate the payment running to you. I have tried to collect from Woodworth but have failed. He has got possession of the place and swears that he will keep it. I am doing as well as I can for Prescott. I have commenced action against Wooworth, he failing to fulfill on his part the Bond became null and void on the second day of April last. I have sued one Note of 750 dollars and demanded the possession of the premises. But I have a multitude of foes to encounter. Prescott's auditors are doing what they can to break the deed running to - . How it will turn in the end I don't know. I suppose.
