	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Butler Family
		The Butlers of South Carolina and Philadelphia owned extensive plantations in the Sea Islands of Georgia, where hundreds of slaves labored to grow the rice and cotton on which the family's wealth was based.
		The most prominent members of the family were the patriarch, Pierce Butler (1744-1822), who amassed the fortune; his grandson Pierce Mease Butler (1806-67); and the latter's wife, Fanny Kemble (1809-93), author of the influential antislavery book Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation in 1838-1839 (1863).
		The divorce did little to sober Pierce; by 1859 he had made such a wreck of his finances that he decided to sell off some of his "property." On March 2 and 3, 1859, the largest sale of human beings in the history of the United States took place on a rainy racetrack in Savannah.

	Richardson's Work on the GLS and Pierce Butler
		I still remember the excitement of reading Pierce Butler's Introduction to Library Science (1933) for the first time in my master's program and later, as a doctoral student at Indiana, realizing how profoundly the GLS at Chicago had changed our discipline from a bibliographically oriented profession to one based on social science methodologies.
		Butler initially supported a tripartite approach to creating a true library science (i.e., by basing our problems on methodologies from history, sociology, and psychology).
		For the Butler biography, I traveled to Chicago, England, and Germany with extramural funding from the Newberry Library (Short-term Summer Fellowship for Individual Research), the National Endowment for the Humanities (Travel to Collections Grant), and Beta Phi Mu's Harold Lancour Scholarship for Foreign Study in1982, 1984 and 1986, respectively.
