• W1540365664 abstract "From French Community to Missouri Town: Genevieve in Nineteenth Century. By Bonnie Stepenoff. (Columbia: University of Missouri Press, 2006. Pp. xiii, 232. Preface, acknowledgments, illustrations, bibliography, index. $29.95.) Genevieve, a small Missouri town on bank of Mississippi River, is of permanent interest to American and Arkansas historians. It was founded around 1750, but a great flood forced it to move to its current location in 1785, where it has been a permanent fixture under French, Spanish, and then American governments. As an old town, it was an actor in and a witness to events during those decades of change, a fact that makes its history inherently important. At same time, it was itself changing, adapting to meet new regimes with their new rules and new opportunities. How its citizens, old and new, got along, what they decided to bring with them from their various traditions, and what institutions and customs they invented to create a new future together are topics that can shed light on larger processes of social change in territory of Louisiana Purchase. Such dynamic processes can and should be studied close to centers of power, such as St. Louis. They may look a bit different in smaller towns, though, because of smaller number of players and personal nature of negotiations. Genevieve is that kind of historical locus. For historians of Arkansas, it offers an important case study of Americanization process also experienced at Arkansas Post and smaller French and Spanish settlements. Its story has been studied by many scholars, particularly for French and Spanish periods preceding 1803 Louisiana Purchase. Less attention has been paid to Genevieve's American nineteenth century, and lacuna has helped create questionable assumption that Americanization came fairly routinely with change of flags and governmental officials. This volume is an attempt to help fill that lacuna with details of life in American Ste. Gen, as it came to be called. Bonnie Stepenoff is a history professor at Southeast Missouri State University in nearby Cape Girardeau. For eight summers (1997-2004), she took her students to Gen for a historic preservation field school sponsored by her university and Missouri Department of Natural Resources. They toured, heard lectures, participated in archaeological excavation, and did research in cemeteries and public records. In process, they generated a significant amount of data. The archaeological material has been published in 1999 volume of Ohio Valley Archaeology. This volume presumably contains most of remaining information and insights. Given kind of research done by classes, this book could have been expected to be filled with biographical information from local records, and that is case. It thus serves as a local history, but it is local history done in a famous and much-studied town, so it is written in shadow of a larger corpus rather than designed to stand alone. That awareness is shown in frequent references to earlier studies, particularly those by Carl J. Ekberg and Walter A. Schroeder. It also is revealed in an unfortunate omission-although there are a few good historical photographs, there are no maps. It seems reader is expected to have read earlier histories and have their maps at hand. Orthography is a problem throughout book. Proper spelling is not just a stylistic issue in a study of development of a multilingual town. Those who have worked with documents of old Louisiana know frustration of identifying people from year to year: Francois becomes Francisco becomes Francis becomes Frank. In this book, he becomes Francois. The author explains that she has attempted to establish consistency by choosing one spelling for each name, the most common or one that appears in most rehable sources (p. …" @default.
