Quotation of the Week  

       Think of our beloved fatherland, think of beautiful Italy, of France and of Germany, all of them working at full capacity to produce weapons of war and destruction. It seems as if we have reached the end of our civilization. It is all too hideous for words.     
          
                       
Emily Hobhouse (1860-1926),  to a friend, Sept. 3, 1916                            Quotation of the Week archive

--CONGRATULATIONS TO LIGHT CUMMINS!  My dear friend and colleague for eighteen years at Austin College, Light T. Cummins, has been named State Historian of the State of Texas.  For more information, see the article in the Herald-Democrat for May 21, 2009  and the Austin College article on this honor.  This prolific historian of Texas, Louisiana, the Old Southwest, and the Spanish borderlands has just completed a biography of Emily Austin, the sister of  Stephen F. Austin.   TCU Press brought the book out last month. 

--NEW:  BLOGGING THE PARIS PEACE CONFERENCE NINETY YEARS LATER.  You are invited to look into my new blog, in which I discuss issues related to the end of World War I, describe personalities and events at the conference, and contemplate the consequences of this momentous summit meeting and peace settlement.  The blog is called Design of a Violent Century.
