The McPherson and Miller Families
Duncan McPherson was born in Scotland. He emigrated and married Sarah in about 1812, probably in North Carolina. They had two known sons, John Templeton McPherson (ca.1813-1876) and Randal McPherson (1815-1883). John married Hannah Hadley in 1840 in Morgan County, Indiana. They had nine children. Randal moved to Iowa and married Sabina Holiday. They had ten children. Descendants and relatives lived mainly in Indiana, Nebraska, Iowa, Pennsylvania and Maryland.
The Pragmatism and Prejudice of Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
This book investigates the extent to which various scholarly labels are appropriate for the work of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. As Louis Menand wrote, “Holmes has been called a formalist, a positivist, a utilitarian, a realist, a historicist, a pragmatist, (not to mention a nihilist).” Each of the eight chapters investigates one label, analyzes the secondary texts that support the use of the term to characterize Holmes’s philosophy, and takes a stand on whether or not the category is appropriate for Holmes by assessing his judicial and nonjudicial publications, including his books, articles, and posthumously published correspondences. The thrust of the collection as a whole, nevertheless, bends toward the stance that Holmes is a pragmatist in his jurisprudence, ethics, and politics. The final chapter, by Susan Haack, makes that case explicitly. Edited by Seth Vannatta, this book will be of particular interest to students and faculty working in law, jurisprudence, philosophy, intellectual history, American Studies, political science, and constitutional theory.
Stereoscopic Law
This book argues for a three-dimensional view of law and restates the message of Holmes's 'The Path of the Law' for legal educators of today.
