BIBLIOGRAPHY Settlement Schools Southern Appalachians 

A SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY [in process]

Many of the resources in this bibliography of Settlement Schools in the Southern Appalachians focus on the urban settlement movement. Familiarity with this movement is fundamental to an understanding of the rural Settlement Schools of the Southern Appalachians and to rural settlement institutions, generally. 

Most of the settlement houses in the urban movement were founded at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. Nancy Wackstein credits the early programs of Settlement workers for the birth of the profession of social work. The earliest urban settlement houses were in England, with Toynbee Hall in London, founded in 1884 recognized as the first of its type. 

Toynbee Hall is still active today, while many of the houses it spawned in Great Britain and in the United States have ceased their fundamental missions. Social conditions in both the inner cities of this country and many of the rural communities where settlement institutions were born are still studied, but those providing social services now rarely live among those they serve. Few researchers and even fewer historians live or have lived among those challenged by so-called “social ills.”

EVOLUTION of the Rural Settlement Movement

The rural settlement movement largely evolved in the twentieth-century. It started later and persisted longer than many of the urban settlements as living and working within the rural environment perhaps seemed far less hostile than many of the rapidly growing locations in the inner cities of the country, particularly in the largest cities.

When the English founder of the Settlement Movement, Stanton Coit, came to New York to assist in the establishment of the first Settlement House in 1886, he found conditions well documented in the photographs and writing of Jacob Riis. The New York settlement house, (at first known as the Neighborhood Guild and later the University Settlement) was central to the idea of the Settlement Movement in the United States. Jane Addams carried these early ideas into her Chicago Hull House and through her many contacts, her Hull House experiment was carried into the rural settlement movement in the southern Appalachians, particularly eastern Kentucky. [see Suzy E.E. Edelstein’s comments for more information.]

Under the guidance of the State Federation of Women’s Clubs of Kentucky, and the deep commitment of many women in the Federation, the rural settlement movement took root in Eastern Kentucky. Katherine Pettit and May Stone, two stalwart members of the Women’s Club in the Lexington area, pitched their tents near Hazard, Kentucky, and the following year began the process of founding a permanent school in the mountains based on many of the principles of the urban settlement movement. In 1913 Pettit left this first school, Hindman Settlement School, to found another school, the Pine Mountain Settlement School.

 Lucy Furman on the Early Settlement Movement, 1914

Lucy Furman, a writer and early worker at Hindman, wrote about these early efforts in 1914 and generated a wave of interest in women for work in the rural settlements. Furman’s article for Century Magazine about her work and later in her forward to her inspiring novel, Sight to the Blind, she motivated many other women to seek out rural settlement work. Furman wrote:

…While its academic work is excellent, special stress is laid upon the industrial courses, the aim being to fit the children for successful lives in their own beloved mountains. To this end the boys are taught agriculture, carpentry, wood and metalwork, and the rudiments of mechanics; the girls cooking, home-nursing, sewing, laundry work, and weaving, these subjects being learned not only in classes but by doing the actual labor of school and farm.

Aside from educational work proper, various forms of social service are carried on,–district nursing, classes in sanitation and hygiene, social clubs and entertainments for people of all ages, and a department of fireside industries, through which is created an outside market for the beautiful coverlets, blankets and homespun, woven by the mountain women, as well as for their attractive baskets.

When the children trained in our school go out to teach in the district schools, they take with them not only what they have learned in books, but our ideas as to practical living and social service also, each one becoming a center of influence in a new neighborhood.

A feature of the work that deserves special mention is the nursing and hospital department, the ministrations of our trained nurse. Miss Butler [Harriet Butler, later at PMSS], having done more, possibly, than any other one thing, not only to spread a knowledge of sanitation and preventive hygiene but also to establish confidential and friendly relations with the people.” 

… In that period the half-dozen clinics held in the school hospital by Dr. Stucky of Lexington, and his co-workers, have brought direct surgical and other relief to the afflicted of four counties. To be present at one of these clinics is to live Bible days over again, and to see “the lame walk, the deaf hear, the blind receive their sight, and the poor have the good news preached to them.”

And not only this, —these clinics have demonstrated that nearly one-half the people examined have trachoma or other serious eye diseases, and have been the means of awakening the Government to its responsibility in the matter, so that three government hospitals have already been started in the mountains for the treatment of trachoma.

So valuable, in many directions, has been the influence of the Settlement School, that tracts of land have been offered in a number of other mountain counties for similar schools; but so far only one, that at Pine Mountain in Harlan County, has been begun.

An intimate account of life within the Hindman School is given in a recently published book, “Mothering on Perilous,” in which are set forth the joys–and some of the shocks–experienced by the writer in mothering the dozen little mountaineers who, in the early days, shared with her the small boys’ cottage. The real name of the school creek is, of course, Troublesome, not Perilous. …”

Barney, Sandra. Maternalism and the Promotion of Scientific Medicine During the Industrial Transformation of Appalachia, 1880-1930 NWSA Journal – Volume 11, Number 3, Fall 1999, pp. 68-92. During the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries rural Appalachian life was fundamentally challenged by the intrusion of industrial capitalism. While historians have illustrated the complexities of these developments in the areas of labor and economic history, little has been done to document the importance of gender in the reconstruction of Appalachian customs and traditions. By focusing on the role of women volunteers and settlement workers in the promotion of scientific medicine, this article argues for a recognition of women as active agents who labored to impart the expectations and presumptions of an increasingly professionalized and bureaucratized medical system to rural people. Driven by maternalist concerns and professional and class ambitions, women activists were key players in encouraging rural Appalachian residents to redefine their fundamental understandings of health and of their relationship to their healers. In recent years scholars have produced an increasingly sophisticated historiography describing the actions of Appalachian women during the Progressive Era. Brought to public attention in the 1980s by the…
