    Rick Dillingham Collection New Mexico Museum of Art Library and Archives Introduction Rick Dillingham [hereinafter RD], whose full name was James Richard. Dillingham II, was born in Illinois in 1952. His college education during the years 1968 - 1976 secured him a Bachelor of Arts Degree at the University of New Mexico (1974) and a Master’s Degree from Claremont Graduate School, Scripps College, at Claremont, California (1976). His principal work as an artist was in the field of ceramics where he achieved international primacy . Representative pieces of his work are held in the Victoria Albert Museum in London, the National Museum of Ceramic Art in Baltimore, Maryland, the Smithsonian Institution, and the New Mexico Museum of Art in Santa Fe. He was best known, for his "broken pottery" technique involving the deliberate destruction of pottery made by him, the decoration and coloring of the shards, and their reconstruction when his artistic applications were completed. Scope and Content Note Part One presents scrapbooks, correspondence, announcements, catalogs, correspondence and other "paper records" and memorabilia. Part Two presents an enormous collection of photographs, 35mm slides, transparencies, postcards, and related material. Additional material is stored in the Collections Department of the New Mexico Museum of Art, and is accessible upon request. The Photography Archives of the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe contain even more material. Juliet Myers' name appears throughout the Collection. She was the curator for and agent of RD, and frequently spoke in his name. RD suffered from AIDS during the latter part of his life, a malady referred to time and again in correspondence sent to him.

LEAMON T he Search for Security Maine after Penobscot The Penobscot campaign of 1779 made little impact on the military outcome of the American Revolution. The focus of military action was shifting to the southern states when the British seized Bagaduce (Castine) at the mouth of the Penobscot River and defeated the expedition dispatched by Massachusetts to drive them out.1 For people in the District of Maine, however, the Penobscot defeat represented a calamity of the first order. During the rest of the war, they had to contend with a garrison of regular British troops in their midst. To Bagaduce flocked loyalists who, with a vigor sharpened by vengeance, joined the regulars in plundering the coast. Active loyalist participation injected a new note of personal vindictiveness in what now became a civil war. Amid internal dissension and a growing sense of isolation and despair, unified defense collapsed throughout the District.

Fifty years in the Northwest http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.01070 Library of Congress At the age of nineteen years, I landed on the banks of the Upper Mississippi, pitching my tent at Prairie du Chien, then (1836) a military post known as Fort Crawford. I kept memoranda of my various changes, and many of the events transpiring. Subsequently, not, however, with any intention of publishing them in book form until 1876, when, reflecting that fifty years spent amidst the early and first white settlements, and continuing till the period of civilization and prosperity, itemized by an observer and participant in the stirring scenes and incidents depicted, might furnish material for an interesting volume, valuable to those who should come after me, I concluded to gather up the items and compile them in a convenient form.
