Abstract
Back in our Fiske Hall home, this issue of "The Folio" showcases a variety of scholarship. Each volumeof the journal often reflects the seminar and course classes offered in the previous year. The articles in volume19 are uniquely limited to American history topics. While the location of the topics is focused on one country,they range widely chronologically. From colonial America to the 1920s, these papers reflect on serious issuesfacing daily life. Both Amanda Underwood and Rhenee Clark Swink showcase the lives of women in eighteenthcentury America. Logan Dougherty addresses the connection between politics and men's facial hair at the turnof the twentieth century. The personal relationships of Cherokee political families, and the issues which drovethem to disagreement are analyzed and reflected upon in Erik Ferguson's article. We end the issue with JoshuaMackey's recreation of the decades long effort to tell the tale of the Tulsa race riots. Taken together thesearticles tell us much about the lives and issues facing Americans.Thanks are due to the faculty of the Department of History who give of their time, expertise, andguidance throughout the process. Faculty provide invaluable support from the development of paper topicsand sources of information in preparation of class papers, to guidance through the final revisions prior topublication. A board consisting of faculty chooses the papers to publish.On behalf of the students and faculty who made this edition possible, we hope that you will enjoy theirwork.
