"The
Book You Don't Realize You're Writing: Turning Genealogical Research into a
Book."
Presented by Dr. Bill Lindsey
The
presentation will focus on Bill's new book Fiat Flux: The Writings
of Wilson R. Bachelor, Nineteenth-Century Country Doctor and Philosopher. Wilson
R. Bachelor was a Tennessee native who moved with his family to Franklin
County, Arkansas, in 1870. He chronicled his life from 1870 to 1902 in a diary,
documenting his family, their farm, and his medical practice. Bachelor was an
avid reader with wide-ranging interests, and he became a self-professed
freethinker in the 1870s. He was driven by a concept he called fiat
flux, an awareness of the "rapid flight of time" that motivated
him to treat the people around him and the world itself as precious and
fleeting.
Dr.
Lindsey is a Little Rock native and former chair of the theology departments at
Xavier University (New Orleans) and Belmont Abbey College, and was academic
dean at Philander Smith College and vice president for academic affairs at
Bethune-Cookman University.
