(Pindar) Water. There's too much of it, or too little. It's too salty, or too sweet. It wells up from the ground, carves itself a way through the land, and then it's called a river or a stream. It descends from the heavens in a variety of forms - as dew or hail, to mention just the extremes. And then, of course, there is the all-encompassing water which we call the sea, and which reminds us of the beginning of all things. The English once labelled the Netherlands across the North Sea ‘this indigested vomit of the sea’. But the Dutch went to work on that vomit, systematically and stubbornly: ‘... their tireless hands manufactured this land, / drained it and trained it and planed it and planned’ (James Brockway). As God's subcontractors they gradually became experts in living apart together. Look carefully at the first photo. The water has struck again. We're talking 1926. Gelderland.

  • TWO Famous Women Privateers of the American War of Independence
    TWO famous women Privateers of the American War of Independence... Rachell Wall and Fanny Campbell Rachel Wall Rachel Wall may have been the first true American woman who became a pirate. She was born in 1760 in Carlisle, Pennsylvania to devout Presbyterians. A runaway, she eloped with George Wall, a fisherman and former privateer who had served during the Revolutionary War. Soon after they arrived in Boston, Wall deserted Rachel and she earned a living as a servant. Several months later, her husband returned, showed her his plundered treasure, and convinced her to join him in his piracy. Their modus operandi was somewhat unique amongst pirates and resembled the boy who cried wolf so many times that when he really saw a wolf, no one came. They anchored near an island during a storm. After it ended, they made the vessel appear as if she would founder, then set her adrift. When another ship was sighted, Rachel screamed for help. Once the rescuers came aboard, the pirates murdered them, stole all the valuables, and sank the ship. Those ashore just assumed the victimized ship sank during the storm. Rachel, George, and their cohorts became quite adept at piracy. Between 1781 and 1782 they captured twelve boats, murdered twenty-four sailors, and appropriated $6,000 worth of cash and merchandise. Trouble came in September 1782 when a storm really did batter their sloop and broke the mast. George and the other pirates were washed overboard and drowned, leaving only Rachel on board. She was soon rescued and returned to Boston where she became a maid.

All were important Atlantic ports with bustling waterfront and diverse populations. Capital punishment was an integral part of eighteenth-century city life with the execution day as its pinnacle. As hangings were public and often attended by thousands of people, civil and religious authorities used the high drama of the gallows to build community consensus, shape the social order, and legitimize their power. A quantitative analysis of executions reveals patterns of punishment over time. The number of executions was relatively low in the colonial period, varied greatly during the Revolution, rose sharply in the mid- to late-1780s, and then declined during the 1790s in Boston and Philadelphia but remained high in Charleston.

  • Settlement of Green Lake County

Beall^ to explore the Green Lake country, which, having been purchased from the 1 The following narrative was secured by Rev. Samuel T. Kidder of McGregor, Iowa, in 1906, when president of Ripon Historical So­ ciety. Mr. Kidder had several interviews with Richard Dart, and much of the narrative is in the latter's own phrasing. Afterwards, when in manuscript, it was carefully revised by him. Richard Dart, son of Anson and Eliza Catlin Dart, was born May 12, 1828, in New York city. His removal with his father's family to the township of Dartford, Wis., is herein narrated. Mr. Dart still lives in the vicinity in excellent health, and with a remarkable memory for his early Wisconsin experiences.—ED. 2 Samuel W. Beall was of Maryland birth (1807), and educated at Union College. After his marriage in 1827 he removed to Wisconsin, where in 1834 he was appointed receiver of public lands at Green Bay. At the expiration of his term of office he went East, but m 1840 re­ turned to Wisconsin in order to locate there permanently. After sev­ eral years in the Green Lake country he removed to the neighborhood of Fond du Lac, where he was agent for the Stockbridge Indians. He served in both constitutional conventions, and was lieutenant-governor in 1850-52. After locating at Denver, Colo., for a few years (1859-61), he volunteered for service, was chosen lieutenant-colonel of the 18th Wisconsin regiment, and severely wounded at Shiloh.

Bir kadının savaşçı olarak düşünülebilmesi için, bir orduya, donanmaya veya tanınmamış olsa da örgütlü bir savaşçı gruba komuta etmesi esas alınmıştır. Farklı milletlerin mitolojilerinde ve tarihlerindeki ünlü kadınlar hakkında bilgiler verildikten sonra, özellikle Müslüman savaşçı kadınlar incelenmiştir. İslam’da kadın her zaman tartışılan bir konu olmuştur. Bu nedenle, İslam dünyasındaki savaşçı kadınlar araştırılmıştır. Müslüman savaşçı kadınlar hakkında kısa bilgiler verildikten sonra, ilk deniz savaşçısı Seyyide Ayşe üzerinde durulmuştur. Korsanlık özel bilgiler gerektirmektedir. Bu nedenle Seyyide’nin kimliği, korsanlık nedenleri, ilham aldığı savaşçılar ve ilham verdiği denizci korsan kadınlar incelenmiştir. Bu çalışma, Müslüman kadınların sosyal hayata katılımı konusunda yeni bilgiler verecektir. ANAHTAR KELİMELER: Korsan, Müslüman Kadın, Seyyide Ayşe ABSTRACT: In this article, women who manage armies, participate in war, and pirate in the seas are examined. In order for a woman to be considered a warrior, she commanded an army, the navy, or an unidentified warrior group. After giving information about famous women in mythology and history of different nations, especially the Muslim warrior women were emphasized. In Islam, women have always been the subject of debate. Therefore, the warrior women in the Islamic world have been researched.

    THE LONG VOYAGES OF THE ANCIENT HAWAIIANS Read before the Hawaiian Historical Society May 18, 1893, by Dr. N. B. Emerson. PAPERS OF THE HAWAIIAN HISTORICAL SOCIETY NUMBER FIVE THE LONG VOYAGES OF THE ANCIENT HAWAIIANS. [Read before the Hawaiian Historical Society, May 18, 1893, by Dr. N. B. Emerson.] HE period embracing the twelfth and thirteenth centuries of the Christian era was one of great unrest and commotion Tthroughout the island world of Polynesia. Some ferment was at work to stir up the energies and passions of wild and primitive men ; it may have been the pressure of invading expeditions arriving from the west; hardly, as has been suggested, over- population and scanty food supply at home ; more likely the outbreak of mutual jealousies and harryings of contiguous and hostile tribes, whose uncongenial elements had not yet found their equilibrium and become reconciled. DISTURBANCE IN SOUTHERN POLYNESIA. The land must have been witness to great contention and violence, the ocean to many painful scenes of sudden departure and disastrous flight. Accepting the evidence of the folk-lore and traditions of the period, it was throughout Potynesia a time of much paddling about and sailing to and fro in canoes ; an era of long voyages between widely separated groups of islands, of venturesome expeditions in search of remote lands ; an era that developed navigators whose deeds of skill and daring would not blush to be placed in comparison with those of the great Columbus, whose anniversary we of this generation are now celebrating. We may compare the disturbance among the rude settlers of that ancient time to that which takes place when the breeding grounds of sea-birds are invaded by the later arrival of other migrating flocks.

  • Scandalous Women, Pirates with Attitude by Katherine Bone
    Hidden Treasure-Historical Truth Scandalous Women, Pirates with Attitude By Katherine Bone A flag with black skull and crossbones, the devilish 'Old Roger', flaps in the wind. Untamed seas roll beneath a darkened hull. Danger sails with the tide and knees of the innocent buckle with fear. The alarm bell sounds. "Pirates! Surrender or die!" If all goes according to plan, a pirate’s enemies never discover a captain's Achilles heel. Secrecy, stealth and ruthlessness were vital in warding off 'the hempen jig'. Forced to disguise themselves, going against pirate code # VI, ‘no boy or woman will be allow’d amongst them’; women pirates lived with greater risk. They fought against superstitions that a woman on board ship brought bad luck to the crew and only a naked woman could calm a storm. Scandalously, a lady pirate was a chameleon, a seafaring rebel willing to compromise security and safety in order to leave stifling conventions, pre-arranged marriages and financial dependency behind. Free to love whomever she chose, free to come and go whenever she pleased, she had the uncanny ability to convince men to follow her into battle and beyond. She was a fearsome sight to behold and while maintaining order, could be the cruelest captain of them all. Some scandalous women who called themselves pirates were successful in keeping their identities secret. History has forgotten them. Yet history has provided numerous other examples of their ilk. It is these women who personify our wildest imaginings. Their stories instill pity, fascination and awe. Alfhild lived in the 9th Century.

St. Clara's " Convent Tower" 'Ye swelling hills and spacious plains! Besprent from shore to shore with steeple towers, " And spires whose 'silent finger points to heaven. ' PREFACE The first chapters of Father Mazzuchelli's Life Story, those recounting its incidents up to the time of his departure from Sinsinawa, are taken from his Memoirs. The succeeding chap- ters contain information gathered from note-books and docu- ments preserved in the archives of St. Clara Convent. To keep within the bounds of Hmited space, the compiler of this work has been forced to omit much interesting matter, but such as appears, either in Father Samuel's Story or that of St. Clara's Community, bears the stamp of truth and every state- ment can be authenticated. " It is not what people say of me, but what I am, that counts," was the utterance of one of America's noblemen, under the stress of adverse public opinion irrationally expressed. We may say of him whose biography is here given, it is what he was that counts, and hence we have made it our earnest aim and effort to modify even our natural and lawful enthu- siasm, to exaggerate no event, to magnify no ability or virtue, but to portray the man of God as he really was, in so far as his words and deeds revealed him.
