Excerpt from Genealogical Records of George Small, Philip Albright, Johann Daniel Dünckel, William Geddes Latimer, Thomas Bartow, John Reid, Daniel Benezet, Jean Crommelin, Joel Richardson From Essenheim came Lorentz Schmahl, the founder of the Small family of York, Pennsylvania. In a roster of the inhabitants of Essenheim in 1624 the name of Schmahl does not appear, but in 1646 Lorentz and Elizabeth Schmahl, grandparents of the emigrant, presented a Child for baptism, which baptism, duly entered in the books of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, gives the earliest record of the family which has yet been found. No effort has been made to trace the name beyond Essenheim. From the records of the Church at Essenheim has been gathered considerable information of interest to the Small family. The search has been carefully made, and the abstracts are guaranteed under the signature of the present pastor and under the seal of the Lutheran Church. Lorentz Schmahl appears to have settled in Essenh...

Especially in academia, controversy rages over the merits or evils of Mark Twain'sAdventures of Huckleberry Finn, in particular its portrayal of Jim, the runaway slave. Opponents disrupt classes and carry picket signs, objecting with strong emotion that Jim is no fit model for African-American youth of today. In continuing outcries they claim that he and the dark period of American history he portrays are best forgotten. That time has gone, Jim's opponents charge. This is a new day. But is it? Dare we forget? The author of The Jim Dilemma argues that Twain's novel, in the tradition of all great literature, is invaluable for transporting readers to a time, place, and conflict essential to understanding who we are today. Without this work, she argues, there would be a hole in American history and a blank page in the history of African-Americans. To avoid this work in the classroom is to miss the opportunity to remember. Few other popular books have been so much attacked, vi...
