Excerpt from East Feliciana, Louisiana

Vast schemes of colonization were generated in the older settlements when Mr. Jefferson made proclamation. In October, 1803, that a boundless fertile unpopulated empire had been transferred the previous April by France to the United States. That famous state paper found eager readers among our imme diate ancestors. A population clinging to the sides of the mountain ranges of the Carolinas and Southwestern Virginia, cultivating the narrow valleys of the Clinch and Holston, rugged as the crags; impetuous as the torrents of their native moun tains, still full of the military Spirit inspired by the camp fires and on the battlefields of the Revolutionary war - still rehears ing by the light of their pine torches, the shame of Camden and Guilford Courthouse and the glory of Saratoga, King's Mountain and Yorktown - still burning with patriotic fires which lighted, Sumpter, Pickens, Laurens and all the heroic chiefs of cavalier and Huguenot strain the path to glory, and many a tory minion of King George the way to dusky death.

Excerpt from East Feliciana, Louisiana
Centenary College was founded in 1839, the centenary year of Methodism; hence its name. It was first located near Brandon, Mississippi, but was moved to Jackson, Louisiana, in 1845, and called Centenary College of Louisiana.
Its grand center building, erected shortly before our civil war, and the two wings, containing dormitories, make it a very commodious collegiate establishment.
