M. 1927-3-4 This, the twentieth volume of Pioneer and Historical Collections, as well as volume 19, is entirely devoted to copies of original documents from the Canadian Archives at Ottawa, relating to Michigan and its environs. The “Haldimand Papers” are a continuation of the same from volume 19, beginning with the year 1782, and carries them to a finish in 1789, covering the period of the closing of the Revolutionary war, and the establishing of peace between Great Britain and the United States, and the evacuation of some of the Upper Military Posts, and comprises nearly half of the volume. The papers devoted to “Indian Affairs” cover a period from 1761 to 1800, and contain a mass of correspondence relative to the Indian Department and the Indian war with the United States. We trust its readers will find it fully as interesting as any which have preceded it. MICHAEL SHOEMAKER, Chairman , Jackson JOHN H. FORSTER, Williamston HENRY H.

    THE WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA HISTORICAL MAGAZINE Volume 56 January 1973 Number 1 THE PREVOSTS OF THE ROYAL AMERICANS Edward G. Williams peldom in recorded history has there been a group of people who O surpassed in adaptability the Swiss soldiers who entered the Britisharmy in the middle of the eighteenth century expressly to serve in America against the French. Among the company of officers there stands out a family of three brothers and one nephew, all of whom were exceptional in every phase of military life and personal conduct. The brothers Prevost (pronounced Prevo) left an imprint upon the annals of the British army that would be the envy of many a family historian, and nowhere does greater interest attach to their activities than in Pennsylvania west of the Susquehanna River. In fact, there are few parts of western Europe and fewer sections of the English- speaking colonies on this side of the Atlantic Ocean where interest does not attach to their mutifaceted affairs. Ubiquity was the one attribute common to the whole group, and cosmopolitanism, linked with urbanity, was the prime quality that characterized them all. In words of modern expression, "they got around" and "they belonged" in whatever locality, situation, or society they found themselves. Certain members of the family crossed and re- crossed the ocean almost as though modern air travel existed. Two of the Prevosts married American wives, which focused upon the hus- bands an ephemeral kind of fame. Along with Henry Bouquet and Frederick Haldimand, each of the Prevosts placed his individual imprint upon the memorial records of the Royal American Regiment, the King's Royal Rifle Corps of the present day.

  • James Monk's “Observations on the Courts of Law in Nova Scotia”, 1775
    James Monk’s “Observations on the Courts of Law in Nova Scotia” , 1775 In May 1931 Dr. William Inglis Morse purchased for £50 from Bernard Quaritch Ltd. of London, the antiquarian booksellers, a twenty-one-page manuscript in a blue paper wrapper entitled “Observations on the Courts of Law in Nova Scotia” . In June 1932 Morse donated it to Acadia University, where today it is found in the William Inglis Morse Collection at Vaughan Memorial Library.1 Though the work is anonymous, the author’s hand­ writing, idiom, orthography, prolixity and awkward syntax — not to mention anglophilia, legal fluency and perspective — confirm his identity as James Monk, Solicitor-General of Nova Scotia from 1774 to 1776.2 There is also cor­ roborating external evidence from a letter of Monk to his English patron, Sir Clifton Wintringham, in which Monk promised to send him “some General observations on the state of this Colony” .3 In the same letter, written on 17 November 1775, Monk also promised to send Wintringham the “Votes” of the House of Assembly, which had just been prorogued.4 It is therefore rele­ vant to note that, at the same time he purchased the “Observations” , Dr. Morse also obtained from Quaritch “Nova Scotia. Journals and Votes of the House of Assembly, 1775” . Sir Clifton Wintringham died without issue in 1794, long after his protégé had left Nova Scotia. Thereafter the provenance of the Monk manuscripts is obscure until they were acquired by Quaritch. A director of Bernard Quaritch Ltd. has recently voiced the suspicion that “ these items...came into and went out of the shop too quickly to be catalogued” .5 James — later Sir James — Monk was born in Boston in 1745, the son of James Monk and Ann Deering, who brought their family to Halifax in 1749.

  • Alden T Vaughan FRONTIER BANDITTI and the INDIANS: THE
    Alden T Vaughan COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY FRONTIER BANDITTI AND THE INDIANS: THE PAXTON BOYS' LEGACY, 1763-1775 QN September 13, 1766, Secretary of State for the Southern 0 }Department, Lord Shelburne, addressed a circular letter to the governors of Britain's North American colonies. "His Majesty's Super- intendents for Indian Affairs," he wrote with evident consternation, report "that the most unprovoked violences and Murthers have lately been committed on the Indians . .. whose Tribes are at present in Peace and Amity with His Majesty's Provinces, and that the offenders have not yet been discovered and brought to Justice." The danger was imminent and immense. In conjunction with frequent encroachments on Indian lands and sharp practices by colonists engaged in the Indian trade, recent crimes against friendly Indians threatened to embroil British America in a massive Indian war. Through Shelburne's letter, King George commanded his governors "to remedy and prevent those Evils, which are as contrary to the Rules of good Policy as of Justice and Equity."' Pennsylvania was one of the most culpable colonies.2 Until the 1750s, William Penn's American province had enjoyed unparalleled peace with its Indian inhabitants; when abuses of Indians occasionally occurred, colonial authorities had generally administered impartial justice.3 That idyllic picture changed dramatically in the mid 1750s. The French and Indian War brought several years of frontier carnage that returned, after a brief lapse, during Pontiac's uprising of 1763. Although peace was soon restored, interracial harmony was not. Frontier frustrations and racial antagonism reached a symbolic climax in December 1763 when a band of Lancaster County ruffians slaugh- tered twenty friendly Indians and attempted, several weeks later, to I 2 PENNSYLVANIA HISTORY wreak the same vigilante violence on 140 Christian Indians sheltered in Philadelphia.

  • Tallshiptuesdays
    TallShipTuesdays Historical Context The British government made Boston pay a high price for destroying the tea in the Boston Tea Party. The busy port of Boston, on which most Bostonians depended, was closed. More redcoats arrived. But resistance to British rule kept growing. Many young people followed their parents’ example in standing up to the British, although their concerns were not necessarily about taxation. Sometimes they were more concerned with enjoying their favorite sports and other activities. Sometimes, too, the British officers tried to be good neighbors. Our example of this “good neighbor policy” is described in a letter written on January 29, 1775, by John Andrews of Boston to his brother-in-law in Philadelphia. It tells about a group of boys who complained to British General Frederick Haldimand when his servant ruined their favorite sledding hill by spreading ashes on it. The General listened to them and ordered his servant to repair the damage. Andrew’s letter went on to say that when British General Thomas Gage, who was the governor of Massachusetts, heard about the incident, he observed that “it was impossible to beat the notion of Liberty out of the people, as it was rooted in ‘em from their Childhood.” Did You Know…? • “Coasting” or “sledding” was popular among children in colonial times. Sherburn’s Hill in Boston was a favorite of several generations of Americans. • Colonial children played some games that children still play today—Hide-and-Seek, Blindman’s Bluf, lacrosse, hopscotch and jump rope. They also flew kites! • Most dolls were made of wooden pegs and many were nicely dressed with homemade clothing.

    The Honest Man/L’Homme Honnête: The Colonial Gentleman, the Development of the Press, and the Race and Gender Discourses of the Newspapers in the British “Province of Quebec,” 1764-1791 By Valérie Isabelle Martin A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in History in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2018 Copyright © Valérie Isabelle Martin, 2018 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the new public world of print that emerged and developed in the “Province of Quebec” from 1764 to 1791. Using discourse analysis, it argues that the press reflected, and contributed to producing the race and gender privileges of the White, respectable gentleman, also called the “honest man,” regardless of whether he was Canadien or of Anglo-descent. A British colony created by the Royal Proclamation of 1763, the Province of Quebec existed until 1791 when it was divided into the separate colonies of Upper and Lower Canada by the Constitutional Act. The colony’s development and dissolution corresponded with a growing population and changing demographics in the Saint Lawrence Valley, a brief increase in racial slavery in Montreal and Quebec City, and altered political and economic alliances between the White settler population and Native peoples of the North American interior after the defeat of the French in 1763 and following the emergence of the American Republic in 1783. Internally, changes brought about by the conclusion of the British Conquest in 1760, such as the introduction of British rule and English law in Quebec, were implemented alongside French ancien régime structures of legal and political governance that persisted mostly unhampered and fostered the preservation of an authoritarian-style government in the new “old” colony.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy o f the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of die original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.Tha sign or "?c.,§€t" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Mining Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. Youa will find good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. I t is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

In that inquiry I discovered the proceedings in the case of Chloe Cooley set out in Chapter V of the text. This induced me to make further researches on the subject of slavery in Upper Canada. The result was incorporated in a paper, The Slave in Upper Canada, read before the Eoyal Society of Canada in May 1919, and subsequently published in the Journal of Negro History for October, 1919. Some of the Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada and the editor of the Journal of Negro History have asked me to ex- pand the paper.
