Description
An account of the resource
Mammoth Life and Accident Insurance, Co. (1915-1992) was one of the largest Black-owned and operated companies in Kentucky's history. Four individuals founded Mammoth Life during the "Golden Age of Black Business" in Louisville, Kentucky: B.O. Wilkerson, Rochelle I. Smith, William H. Wright, and Henry E. Hall. By 1928, Mammoth Life opened district offices in seven neighboring states: Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. The corporation was central to the Black community for decades, especially during the height of racial segregation. In 1992, Atlanta Life Insurance bought out Mammoth Life, another Black-owned business headquartered in Georgia. By 1994, Atlanta Life closed down the flagship Louisville district office.<br /><br />This collection contains black and white photographs, newspaper clippings, and pastel portraits of former presidents ranging from ca. 1915-1980.<br /><br />Please note that the Filson Historical Society does not have insurance policy records for Mammoth Life. Requests for their insurance policy records should be made to <a href="https://www.kemper.com/about-kemper/contact-us/contact-Life" target="_blank" title="Contact Page" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kemper Life Insurance Company</a> at 1-800-777-8467.

First American West, 1750-1820
Description
An account of the resource
Drawing from many historical collections at the Filson Historical Society, First American West incorporates maps, diaries, letters, ledgers, and objects. The collection documents the travels of the first Europeans to enter the trans-Appalachian West, the maps tracing their explorations, their relations with Native Americans, and their theories about the region's mounds and other ancient earthworks. Naturalists and other scientists describe Western bird life and bones of prehistoric animals. Books and letters document the new settlers' migration and acquisition of land, navigation down the Ohio River, planting of crops, and trade in tobacco, horses, and whiskey.<br /><br />The First American West: The Ohio River Valley, 1750-1820 consists of 15,000 pages of original historical material documenting the land, peoples, exploration, and transformation of the trans-Appalachian West from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth century.

United States in Congress assembled
July 3rd 1788
Whereas application has been lately made to
Congress by the legislature of Virginia and the
district of Kentucky for the admission of the said
district into the federal Union as a seperate member
thereof on the terms contained in the Acts of the said
legislature and in the resolutions of the said district
relative to the premises. And whereas Congress having
fully considered the subject did on the 3d day of June
last resolve that it is expedient that the said district
be erected into a sovereign and independant state and
a seperate member of the federal Union and appointed a
Committee to report an Act accordingly, which Committee
on the second instant was discharged, it appearing that
nine states had adopted the Constitution of the United
States lately submitted to Conventions of the people. And
whereas a new Confederacy is formed among the ratifying
states and there is reason to believe that the state of
Virginia
56g3
Virginia including the said district did on the 25 of June
last became a member of the said Confederacy: And
whereas an Act of Congress, in the present State of the
Government of the Country, severing a part of the said
state from the other parts thereof and admitting it into
the Confederacy formed by the Articles of Confederation and
perpetual Union as an independent member thereof
may be attended with many inconveniencies while it
can have no effect to make the said district a separate
member of the federal Union formed by the adoption of
the said Constitution and therefore it must be manifestly
improper for Congress assembled under the said Articles
of Confederation to adopt any other measures relative to
the premises than those which express their sense that
the said district ought to be an independent member
of the Union as soon as circumstances shall permit
proper measures to be adopted for that purpose.
Resolved, that a copy of the proceedings of Congress
relative to the independency of the district of Kentucky
be transmitted to the legislature of Virginia and also
to Samuel M Dowell, Esquire, late president of the said
Convention
Convention, and that the said legislature and the inhabitants
of the district aforesaid be informed, that as the Constitution
of the United States is now satified, Congress think it unadviseable
to adopt any further measures for admitting the district of
Kentucky into the federal Union as an independent member
thereof under the Articles of Confederation and perpetual
Union; but that Congress thinking it expedient that the
said district be made a seperate State and member of the
Union as soon after proceedings shall commence under the
said Constitution as circumstances shall permit, recommend
it to the said legislature and to the inhabitants of the said
district so to alter their Acts and resolutions relative to
the premises as to render them conformable to the provisions
made in the said Constitution to the end that no impediment
may be in the way of the speedy accomplishment of this
important business

Mr St John de Crevecoeur Danville May 25 1789.
Monsieur et cher ami
Je n'ai point autre chose à vous apprendre pour le présent sinon qui je suis arrivé sans aucun accident en cette ville il y a cinq jours. Ce court tems ne m'a pas permis de prendre et de vous communiquer aucune information qui puisse vous être utile ou agréable. Je suis encore un étranger dans Kentucke, et ce ne sera qu'après quelques semaines de séjour ici que je pourrai être initié aux mystères de notre politique; alors je pourrai vous en entretenir. Jai dèja fait quelques perquisitions pour me procurer des details géogra= phiques de cette contréa; on m'en a promis qui, je crois, seront éxacts; je les [remenillerai?] pour vous. Je me suis rappellé que vous m'aviez fait quelques questions sur le compte de Mr B-n. Ne l'ayant point connu personnellement avant mon voyage de New york, je ne pus alors vous satisfaire. Depuis mon arrivée ici, je me suis attaché à découvrir quelle
était l'opinion générale sur son compte, et je vois qu'il est beaucoup estimé. On l'empoyait avec confiance en sa qualité d'avocat avant son voyage à New-york, mais son absence lui a fait perdre beaucoup de pratiques. ses amis desirent qu'il suive la carrière de la politique ou l'on est d'opinion qu'il fera une figure distinguée. Des personnes de mérite me disent qu'en Virginie il n'est inferieur qu'à Mr Maddison. - Voilà , mon cher ami, tout ce que jusqu'à présent j'ai appris de lui, et c'en est assez pour rendre sa connaissance précieuse.
Ne perdez pas de vue, je vous prie, que me voici reléqué au bout du monde, qu'aucune nouvelle autentique ne nous parvient, et que je suis affainé de savoir ce qui se passe chez vous, en Europe, et surtout en France. Veuillez entrer avec moi dans les plus grands détails; addressez toujours vos lettres par la poste à Pittsburgh chez Mr Audrain qui me les acheminera [sureusent?].
Je souhaite de tout mon coeur que la gaité de Miss
Fanny ainsi que sa santé se soutiennent également, et je me flatte qu'elle me fera l'honneur de répondre aux lettres qu'elle a reçues de moi. Je vous prie de lui presenter mes respects et à Madame De La Forest, et d'assurer de mon sincère attachement Messieurs De la Forest, Otto, et Mantel.
J'ai l'honneur d'être très veritablement
Monsieur et cher ami
Votre très humble et très obt servt

Description
An account of the resource
Tardiveau discusses his activities in Kentucky, including in Danville, events occurring there, the state of agriculture and climate for certain crops, especially as compared to Cumberland (Tennessee), Society for Kentucky Manufacturers, and the economic future of Kentucky and the United State in general. Tardiveau also writes that he has learned that John Brown is held in great esteem by the people of Kentucky. His friends want him to take on a political career and competent people believe he is inferior only to James Madison in his legal ability. He reminds Crevecoeur that living in Kentucky they are "banished to the other end of the earth," and that no dependable news reaches them. He therefore asks Crevecoeur to go into heavy detail about what is happening in Europe, specifically France.

A name given to the resource
First American West, 1750-1820
Description
An account of the resource
Drawing from many historical collections at the Filson Historical Society, First American West incorporates maps, diaries, letters, ledgers, and objects. The collection documents the travels of the first Europeans to enter the trans-Appalachian West, the maps tracing their explorations, their relations with Native Americans, and their theories about the region's mounds and other ancient earthworks. Naturalists and other scientists describe Western bird life and bones of prehistoric animals. Books and letters document the new settlers' migration and acquisition of land, navigation down the Ohio River, planting of crops, and trade in tobacco, horses, and whiskey.<br /><br />The First American West: The Ohio River Valley, 1750-1820 consists of 15,000 pages of original historical material documenting the land, peoples, exploration, and transformation of the trans-Appalachian West from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth century.

Title
A name given to the resource
Tablecloth, 1800-1825
Description
An account of the resource
Handwoven, linen tablecloth belonging to Elizabeth Tyler Sturgeon. Elizabeth married Thomas Sturgeon in 1816, who died only seven years into their marriage. Elizabeth then took on the responsibility of managing their farm while also raising her three young sons. Elizabeth enslaved seven people who provided crucial labor that contributed to the success of the farm and household. After her husband died, an unidentified enslaved woman helped Elizabeth manage the farm. In 1833, Eliza died from cholera, leaving her three sons, all under the age of eighteen, to live with her brother. We can’t say with certainty that Eliza made this textile because weaving was generally done by professional male weavers or enslaved men and women. Either Eliza and/or an enslaved laborer may have spun fibers that were cultivated on her farm, and then turned over to a weaver to make into cloth. The woven panels would have then been seamed and hemmed at home. There is evidence there may have been a loom house on one of the neighboring Tyler family farms.

A name given to the resource
First American West, 1750-1820
Description
An account of the resource
Drawing from many historical collections at the Filson Historical Society, First American West incorporates maps, diaries, letters, ledgers, and objects. The collection documents the travels of the first Europeans to enter the trans-Appalachian West, the maps tracing their explorations, their relations with Native Americans, and their theories about the region's mounds and other ancient earthworks. Naturalists and other scientists describe Western bird life and bones of prehistoric animals. Books and letters document the new settlers' migration and acquisition of land, navigation down the Ohio River, planting of crops, and trade in tobacco, horses, and whiskey.<br /><br />The First American West: The Ohio River Valley, 1750-1820 consists of 15,000 pages of original historical material documenting the land, peoples, exploration, and transformation of the trans-Appalachian West from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth century.

Title
A name given to the resource
Tablecloth, 1800-1825
Description
An account of the resource
Handwoven, linen tablecloth belonging to Elizabeth Tyler Sturgeon. Elizabeth married Thomas Sturgeon in 1816, who died only seven years into their marriage. Elizabeth then took on the responsibility of managing their farm while also raising her three young sons. Elizabeth enslaved seven people who provided crucial labor that contributed to the success of the farm and household. After her husband died, an unidentified enslaved woman helped Elizabeth manage the farm. In 1833, Eliza died from cholera, leaving her three sons, all under the age of eighteen, to live with her brother. We can’t say with certainty that Eliza made this textile because weaving was generally done by professional male weavers or enslaved men and women. Either Eliza and/or an enslaved laborer may have spun fibers that were cultivated on her farm, and then turned over to a weaver to make into cloth. The woven panels would have then been seamed and hemmed at home. There is evidence there may have been a loom house on one of the neighboring Tyler family farms.

A name given to the resource
First American West, 1750-1820
Description
An account of the resource
Drawing from many historical collections at the Filson Historical Society, First American West incorporates maps, diaries, letters, ledgers, and objects. The collection documents the travels of the first Europeans to enter the trans-Appalachian West, the maps tracing their explorations, their relations with Native Americans, and their theories about the region's mounds and other ancient earthworks. Naturalists and other scientists describe Western bird life and bones of prehistoric animals. Books and letters document the new settlers' migration and acquisition of land, navigation down the Ohio River, planting of crops, and trade in tobacco, horses, and whiskey.<br /><br />The First American West: The Ohio River Valley, 1750-1820 consists of 15,000 pages of original historical material documenting the land, peoples, exploration, and transformation of the trans-Appalachian West from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth century.

Title
A name given to the resource
Coverlet, circa 1816
Description
An account of the resource
Raised embroidery whitework (also known as candle wicking) coverlet with a tufted basket and grape design. The family narrative states the coverlet was homespun from cotton grown on the farm of James Nicholls and Margaret Randolph Nicholls in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. Whitework textiles were most prevalent in Kentucky between 1800 and the 1830s, and typically made by teenage girls. Elizabeth Randolph Nicholls Godman was aged fifteen when she made this coverlet. Likely the fiber for this coverlet was cultivated on the family farm. Elizabeth may have spun the fiber or taken it to a spinner (free or enslaved person), and then turned it over to a professional weaver in her community. Elizabeth would have then hand stitched the elaborate embroidered design.
