I am myself one of a very numerous family, or clan, widely distri­ buted over this continent, and I share in the sentiment to which I have referred to so great a degree that I have been at some pains to trace backward and verify so far as may be those tales and traditions, common to so many families, of the deeds and the lives of men whom our honourable pride of family has invested with qualities and merits perhaps beyond their deserts. It is a very natural thing for men to cherish the thought or the belief that they have come of a race whose members have played their parts in life with honour and distinction, and whose qualities were of a nature and force great enough to impress themselves on the history of their day, and to leave behind them the loving tribute of fame and distinction which has survived the passing of time, and which is still maintained for us who live to-day in the traditions and perhaps myths which an honourable family pride loves to cherish and perpetuate. Few of us indeed are entirely free from this form of human vanity ; which, so long as it does not lead to the assertion of claims which not only cannot be substantiated, but which are too often, it may be feared, too fanciful and grotesque to be taken seriously, is by no means a reprehensible thing, and may, in fact, properly be considered as a praiseworthy motive to the performance of a pious duty to ourselves and to our family. Let me say here that in my efforts to lay hold with certainty on what may be grasped of the authentic history of the McCurdy family, tracing it backwards through the centuries, I have done so with the modest desire to make no claims that cannot be substanti­ ated by the records which survive, records indeed sometimes dim and relying to some extent on tradition. Xll Tbc mccurdys of Do\'a Scotia We know, and we take an honourable pride in the knowledge that the McCurdy family can trace its origin to a distant past. We know, too, that many of its members were men of forceful character and qualities who have left their mark in the history of the rough and turbulent times in which they lived. It would be foolish to claim for them that they were supermen, or that they were free from a generous infusion of those mundane frailties to which our poor human nature is prone. We may be sure that they all had their weaknesses, that they made mistakes, and acted perhaps not always wisely ; but we like to think, and indeed we are justified in thinking, that there is throughout their history a family characteristic of strength and endurance which lifted them above their contemporaries and made them notable men in their day and generation.

    FROM THE TRANSACTIONS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA THIRD SERIES—1914 VOLUME vin An Organization of the Scientific Investigation of the Indian Place«nomenclatiire of the Maritime Provinces of Canada by W. F. GANONG. M.AHBb.E OTTAWA PRINTED FOR THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 19 14 Transactions of The Royal Society of Canada SECTION II SERIES III DECEMBER 1914 VOL. VIII An Organization of the Scientific Investigation of the Indian Place- nomenclature of the Maritime Provinces of Canada, (Fourth Paper). By W. F. GANONG, M.A., Ph.D. (Read by Title May 27, 1914.) This paper is identical in aim and method with its three pre­ decessors, which were published in the immediately foregoing volumes of these Transactions. In a word, I am trying to apply the principles of scientific analysis to a very interesting subject especially prone to doubt and error. The comparative method which I use, explained in the introduction to the first paper, is proving wonderfully successful in solving the problems, as this paper will further illustrate. For convenience of reference I may add that the former papers made analysis of the names Oromocto, Magaguadavic, Upsalquitch, Manan, Nepisiguit, Kouchibouguac, Anagance, Wagan, Pokiok, Penniac, Bocabec, Pentagoet-Penobscot, Pohenegamook, and Cobs- cook, and used the roots thus made available in the analysis of a good many other words, both existent and extinct, of lesser importance. Of these extinct Indian names,—indigenous to the country, ap­ propriate to the places, and often reducible to a highly pleasing form, —the greater number may be revived to obvious advantage when additional place-names become needed in future; and I have tried to suggest simplified and softened forms for such purpose.

  • TRACING the DISCOURSE of AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM by Aron Tabor
    DOES EXCEPTION PROVE THE RULE? TRACING THE DISCOURSE OF AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM By Aron Tabor Submitted to Central European University Doctoral School of Political Science, Public Policy and International Relations In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science Supervisor: Alexander Astrov Word Count: 91,719 Budapest, Hungary 2019 ii Declaration I hereby declare that no parts of this thesis have been accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. This thesis contains no material previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgement is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Aron Tabor April 26, 2019 iii iv Abstract The first two decades of the twenty-first century saw an unprecedented proliferation of the discourse of American exceptionalism both in scholarly works and in the world of politics; several recent contributions have characterized this notion in the context of a set of beliefs that create, construct, (re-)define and reproduce a particular foreign policy identity. At the same time, some authors also note that the term “American exceptionalism” itself was born in a specific discourse within U.S. Communism, and, for a period, it was primarily understood with reference to the peculiar causes behind the absence of a strong socialist movement in the United States. The connection between this original meaning and the later usage is not fully explored; often it is assumed that “exceptionalism” existed before the label was created as the idea is traced back to the founding of the American nation or even to the colonial period.

  • George Kennan and the Challenge of Siberia
    George Kennan and the Challenge of Siberia NICHOLAS DANILOFF he small boy pressed his nose against the window. He could hardly pass up T the chance to see the doctor treat his playmate, whose arm had been man- gled in the cogwheels of a mill. Through the pane, the boy spied the surgeon unsheathe a saw and carefully draw its razor-sharp teeth across the injured arm below the elbow. With horror, many years later, the boy at the window would describe the amputation: The surgeon accidentally let slip the end of one of the severed arteries and a jet of warm blood spurted from the stump of the upper arm to the inside of the window pane against which my face was pressed. The effect upon me was a sensation that I never felt before in all my boyish life—a sensation of deadly nausea, faintness and overwhelming fear.1 The peeping boy of 1855 would grow up to be the adventurous traveler George Kennan, a cousin twice removed of the twentieth-century George F. Kennan, American ambassador to Stalin’s Russia. Years after the operation, the nineteenth- century Kennan would succeed in amputating his own insecurities to brave the wilds of Siberia, to expose the horrors of the Russian penal system, and to become America’s first great authority on Russia. George Kennan, the elder, first intrigued me when I worked in Moscow as a journalist during the cold war over a hundred years later. I was drawn into the search for Kennan’s traces when I began researching the life of my own great- great-grandfather, a Russian exiled to Siberia for conspiring to overthrow the czar in 1825.

  • Land and Belonging in Gaelic Nova Scotia
    “Dh’fheumadh iad àit’ a dheanamh” (They would have to make a Place): LAND AND BELONGING IN GAELIC NOVA SCOTIA © Shamus Y. MacDonald A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Folklore Memorial University of Newfoundland December 2017 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract: This thesis explores the way land has been perceived, described and experienced by Scottish Gaels in Nova Scotia. It examines how attitudes towards land are maintained and perpetuated through oral traditions and how oral history, legends and place names have fostered a sense of belonging in an adopted environment. Drawing on archival research and contemporary ethnographic fieldwork in Gaelic and English, it explores how people give anonymous aspects of the natural and built environment meaning, how personal and cultural significance is attached to landscapes, and how oral traditions contribute to a sense of place. Exploring a largely unofficial tradition, my thesis includes a survey of Gaelic place names in Nova Scotia that shows how settlers and their descendants have interpreted their surroundings and instilled them with a sense of Gaelic identity. It also considers local traditions about emigration and settlement, reflecting on the messages these stories convey to modern residents and how they are used to construct an image of the past that is acceptable to the present. Given its focus on land, this work investigates the protective attitude towards property long ascribed to Highland Gaels in the province, considering local perspectives of this claim and evaluating its origins.
