  • Black, White & Gold
    8 New Ground all golden country but very poor Three months after Clark was killed, William Simpson, eight other miners and twenty-two Taupota carriers returned to prospect the ‘likely looking’ country they had seen on the upper Mambare. From ‘Clark’s Fort’, a log hut about 12 miles upstream from Tamata, the miners cut a track south to a point high above the western bank of the Mambare where they built ‘Simpson’s Store’. Using the store as a base, the miners spent five months cutting tracks and testing the creeks feeding the Mambare. They prospected the Chirima, the main tributary coming in from the west, and followed the Mambare beyond the Chirima junction into the lower Yodda Valley. The track from Clark’s Fort to the Chirima junction crossed no land much above 2000 feet, but it was a hard walk with many creek crossings, thick undergrowth and cliffs which had to be climbed with the aid of vines and makeshift ladders. John Green took only thirteen days to travel from Tamata to the junction and back, but at the end he threw away the new boots he had put on at the start. After MacGregor had seen the prospectors’ tracks he wrote that they had carried out ‘by far the most arduous undertaking ever performed by any private exploring party in the colony’. When the miners came down the river in January 1896 they had 46 ounces of gold. The upper Mambare, Simpson reported, was ‘all golden country, but very poor’. Beyond the Chirima junction they had prospected one creek which, they thought, might be profitable.

The day honours all humanitarians including those who have lost their lives caring for others. World Humanitarian Day was established by the General Assembly of the UN in 2008 and was first observed in August 2009. The date of August 19 is the anniversary date of the 2003 Canal Hotel bombing in Baghdad where twenty-two people lost their lives including, the UN‟s High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General to Iraq, Sergio Vieira de Mello. Why is humanitarian aid so desperately needed today? The total number of people affected by natural disasters has risen over the past decade and, according to the UN, about 211 million people are directly affected each year. Women and children are especially at risk because of ongoing struggles with gender discrimination, poverty, insecurity, hunger, poor health and environmental decline. Global challenges such as job insecurity, prices rises and the growing number of refugees, increase the need for humanitarians each year.

Soon missions were established in every colony in the West Indies. Under Coke’s leadership, missions were also sent to Sierra Leone (1811) and Ceylon (1813). In 1804 the Methodist Conference set up a Standing Committee of Finance and Advice to manage its foreign relations and from 1813 onwards district auxiliaries were formed to support the work of the overseas missions.

Research funding was partially supported by the Graduate Division of the University of California, Riverside in the form of the Dissertation Year Fellowship. I am also, without question, indebted to the Costume Society of American for their exceptional support. As the recipient of the Stella Blum Student Research Award, I received funding which allowed me to research my dissertation at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Archives of the Fashion Institute of Technology, the Manuscript and Archives Division of the New York Public Library, and the Margaret Herrick Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. I also received funding to attend the National Symposium of the CSA in Boston in May 2011, and there received many suggestions and much needed encouragement. Additionally, through the Western Regional Branch of the Costume Society, I received the Jack Hanford Summer Internship Award. I received the funding to support a summer-long internship at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art during which I learned much about the history of western fashion and had the ability to research my own project.
