Size of Collection: 6 cubic feet

Locator Number: Mss. A T555

Scope and Content Note

The Tichenor Collection consists of correspondence, court documents, organizational records, and ephemera collected by Carroll and Doris Tichenor and related to the couple’s environmental activism, which spanned from the late 1960s through the early twenty-first century.  Of particular interest are items related to the early years of the Cumberland Chapter of the Sierra Club, including previously un-archived material related to efforts to save Red River Gorge in Kentucky from a proposed dam, which were highlighted by a 1967 protest hike led by Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas.  The collection also contains newsletters and correspondence related to the national Sierra Club, as well as material from the Tichenors’ efforts to stop the Eastern Kentucky Power Cooperative (EKPC) from constructing a transmission cable that would cross their property.  Also included are a number of environmental reports, compiled by both governmental and private agencies, and related to Kentucky and the nation at large.

Although the collection has not been formally separated into series, its organization emphasizes its two major themes: the Sierra Club and the EKPC campaign.  Both major sections are organized alphabetically, with environmental reports of indeterminable context organized similarly at the end of the collection.

Biographical Note

Carroll (b. 1927) and Doris (b. 1931) Tichenor—activists, outdoor enthusiasts, and partners—fought to ensure the preservation and protection of the natural environment from the late 1960s through the early twenty-first century.  They were instrumental in the formation of the first Kentucky chapter of the Sierra Club and in the organization of the protest march, led by Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, which gave the chapter much of its early energy, and Carroll later became president of the chapter from 1970-1971.  The Tichenors remained active in the organization throughout the later half of the twentieth century, and in the early twenty-first century successfully prevented the construction of an electrical transmission line across their family farm, which would have damaged the land and disturbed historic sites on the property.  Carroll and Doris have two children, a daughter Karen, born in 1955, and a son, Annis, born in 1956.

Institutional History

The Urban Appalachian Council (UAC) was organized in Cincinnati, Ohio to act as a regional center for Appalachians in urban areas. Created in 1974, the UAC began as a response to the growing number of Appalachians migrating from rural areas to urban cities starting in the late 1940s. Committed to cultural pluralism, the organization functions to dispel negative stereotypes placed upon Appalachians and promote pride in the cultural heritage of urban Appalachians. The UAC also works to help urban Appalachians acclimate to city life and become active community leaders. To accomplish the organization’s goals, the UAC conducts research projects, helps with community organization, and develops educational programs. The UAC targets Appalachians in lower income urban areas, and the organization’s greater center of activism is in the Cincinnati area. The Urban Appalachian Council, as of 2013, continues to work for the betterment of urban Appalachians.

Scope and Content Note

The collection contains papers distributed by the Urban Appalachian Council (UAC) based out of Cincinnati, OH. The UAC papers present research on the education, social status, health, and economic condition of Appalachian migrants in urban areas, particularly in Ohio. The collection includes three research bulletins, one color coded map showing the distribution of Appalachians in Cincinnati, OH, and four research reports.

In addition, the collection contains four demographic studies from the Ohio Urban Appalachian Awareness Project. They examine the cities of Columbus, Akron, Toledo, and Cleveland in regards to their Appalachian populations. These studies were supported in part by a grant from the Ohio Board of Regents and the Ohio Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.

Biographical Note

The Wall family lived in Cynthiana, Harrison County, Kentucky. The son of Clementina Wall, William S. Wall, served in Morgan’s Cavalry during the Civil War (see collection of his letters, Mss. C W) and returned to Cynthiana after the war and worked as a furniture merchant. In the early-1870s, Wall began to court Lucile “Lulu” Crutcher, a Cynthiana native, who at some point during the 1870s, moved to Dallas, Texas. Wall’s brother, John, was a doctor in Flemingsburg, Kentucky.

Another set of the Wall-Crutcher correspondence is available in the Wall-Machir family papers (Mss. C W).

Size of Collection: 1 cubic foot

Locator Number: Mss. BC U58a

Scope and Content Note

The United Confederate Veteran records consist almost entirely of register books from the 1900 reunion held in Louisville, Ky. The sixteen registers cover the states of Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. The collection also includes three miscellaneous items also related to the reunion. The 1900 UCV Reunion was held from May 30 to June 3.

Historical Note

The United Confederate Veterans, founded in 1889, was the primary veterans’ organization for former Confederate Soldiers. Every summer, UCV held a reunion and their 10 th annual reunion met in Louisville. Although smaller than some of the earlier gatherings, the 1900 reunion, held from May 30 to June 3, drew over 15,000 veterans and 100,000 guests. General John B. Gordon, Commander-in-Chief of UCV, spoke at the reunion’s opening, and other celebrations included a reenactment of the Battle of Perryville, concerts, balls, and a firework display featuring a thirty-two feet by twenty-feet firework representation of Robert E. Lee. The chairman of the reunion was Bennett H. Young, who later became Commander of the Confederate Veteran Association of Kentucky and Commander-in-Chief of UCV.
