2010 Sept/Oct Dandelion Newsletter of the Mecklenburg Historical Association Docents Promoting Local History through Education and Research September/October, 2010 Volume 16, Number 4 Look Inside This Issue - Hart Square Tickets – Send in you money now! - New books by local authors - Announcing a trip to Mount Vernon with the MHA Docents - A report on the 235th Anniversary of Meck Dec Day, May 20 and the dedication of the Captain Jack Statue - Historic Site news, a book review, the History Calendar, and more. In Memory of Jo Anne Dickens We open this issue of The Dandelion on a sad note to report that our Chairman, Jo Anne Dickens, unexpectedly passed away on June 3, 2010. When she woke that morning she complained of feeling unwell, and almost immediately suffered a massive heart attack. Only two days before she had been with us at our June picnic filled with her usual exuberance, laughter, and camaraderie. Our heartfelt sympathies go to Reggie and the family. At her memorial service Alice Bostic gave the following tribute on behalf of the MHA Docents: “Jo Anne was our chair person for the last one and one half years. The chair in our group is informally known as the ‘queen’. As outgoing queen it was my job to install the new queen. To my surprise Jo Anne was more than ready for her new role, having arrived with a cape and scepter to add to the crown I was to place on her head. We knew in that moment that the coming year would be a lot of fun. She was also one of the happiest grandmothers I have ever seen. What joy, Jerry and Stephanie, you brought into her life with her beautiful granddaughter Danielle. “Jo Anne’s leadership over the past year and a half was splendid and through her efforts we accomplished much. She knew we could produce a very successful historic fashion event and with her encouragement we did. Recently she was with us to dedicate the new statue of Captain Jack on the Sugar Creek Greenway. And last week, two days before God called her home, we all gathered at Landsford Canal State Park to celebrate a year of achievements before our summer break. It was Jo Anne’s birthday and a beautiful day. The sun shown brightly and the famous spider lilies that bloom once a year in the river were in their full glory. We sang Happy Birthday as she blew out the candle on her piece of cake. She was, as usual, upbeat and excited about coming events, a cruise with her family and the trip to Mount Vernon she was planning for us in October. “Jo Anne was our cheerleader. She dreamed big dreams for us and convinced us that we could do them all. She will be deeply missed. Most of all, she taught us a very valuable lesson. It is not the number of years we have that is important: it is the life we put into those years. Jo Anne lived her life to the fullest and encouraged us to do the same.” According to our docent guidelines: “The Vice-Chairman shall advance to the office of Chairman if a vacancy occurs.” Our Vice-Chairman, Hazel White, has graciously stepped into position. She will lead us with her own unique style through the projects set in place by Jo Anne. Thank you, Hazel; we will all be with you every step of the way, for we know Jo Anne’s magic slippers will be hard to fill. Ann Williams and Alice Bostic 1 From the Chairman As I sit down to try to write this article I do so with a heavy heart. By now all of you are aware of the passing of my dear friend Jo Anne Dickens, the Chairman and queen of the MHA Docents. Her sudden death in June was a great shock to all of us. Jo Anne as Chairman did a terrific job and we accomplished much under her leadership. She will be greatly missed. Good job Jo Anne, and may you rest in peace. And now I am left to finish what she started. I will do the best I know how. I have a wonderful hard working board of directors, so that will make the job easy. I hope everyone had a great summer. I know you are going to say it was hot, hot, hot, but that is over we hope. Now we can get down to our upcoming meetings and wonderful programs that I have lined up for the balance of the year. So mark your calendar for the first Tuesday of each month; I hope to see everyone with smiling faces. Hazel White, Chairman of MHA Docents Newsletter Deadline The deadline for the November/December issue of the Dandelion is October 14th. Thanks to all who keep us supplied with interesting tidbits and current events. Keep up the good work. Send articles to Ann and Jim Williams at 1601 S Wendover Road, Charlotte, NC 28211 or email [email protected]. MHA Docent Programs Both meetings will be held in the Fellowship Hall of Sugar Creek Presbyterian Church. Refreshments at 9:30 am, business meeting at 10, program at 11. Visitors are always welcome. In accordance with our docent guidelines, the election of officers for the docent committee is held during the September business meeting. The nominating committee will present a slate, and nominations may be made from the floor. The elected officers will be installed in January. Tuesday, September 7, 2010 An Appalachian Story Quilt Lynn Salsi, from North Carolina’s Road Scholars Speakers Bureau, will present a program of Appalachian Mountain humor, songs, superstitions, legends, and customs, highlighting the life and stories of Ray Hicks, renowned teller of Jack Tales. These humorous, clever, moral driven stories were brought from Europe by Appalachia’s earliest settlers. Ray Hicks’ Jack Tales, and his nearly Elizabethan style of telling them, were drawn from generations of his and other mountain families including his great-great-grandfather Council Harmon. In 1983 Hicks was named a National Heritage Fellow by the National Endowment of the Arts. Lynn Salsi is an award winning author, teacher, playwright and historian. She has written a number of books including several on Jack Tales, and a biography, The Life and Times of Ray Hicks, Keeper of the Jack Tales, which was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. She may have books available for sale. In 2001 she was named Historian of the Year by the NC Society of Historians. This project is made possible by a grant from the North Carolina Humanities Council, a statewide nonprofit and affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Tuesday, October 5, 2010 Culture of the Tuscarora People Ramona Moore Big Eagle will present a program of American Indian culture and history using storytelling, music, drumming, dance, and authentic artifacts and crafts. She erases stereotypes and myths while presenting the culture 2 of everyday life including lodging, clothing, survival techniques, artifacts, food, dance, stories, language, music and beliefs. Ramona is Oral Historian and Legend Keeper of the Tuscarora Nation of North Carolina. An enrolled member of the Nation, she has served on the Tribal Council in various capacities. She is the founder and president of the Storytellers Guild of Charlotte, Inc., and a member of the National Storytelling Network. In addition to sharing her culture, she does corporate workshops on leadership and teambuilding. You do not want to miss this lady; she is great. Docent Book Club We will meet after the September Docent meeting and discuss Civil War Wives by Carol Berkin. MHA Dinner Meeting Monday, September 27, at Trinity Presbyterian Church. Dinner is at 6:30 followed by the program at 7:15. Those not having dinner are welcome to enjoy the program at no charge.

Our speaker for September is Dr. Tony Zeiss, president of CPCC. He will be appearing in 19th century dress and speaking in first person about his character’s experience as a 16 year old boy in 1780-81 at the battle of Kings Mountain. The background for this presentation comes from the memoirs of Thomas Young who lived in present day Union County and participated in the battle of Kings Mountain. Dr. Zeiss has written Backcountry Fury, A Sixteen-Year-Old Patriot in the Revolutionary War, a young-adult book on this subject, and will have copies available for sale. Dr. Zeiss has been the president of Central Piedmont Community College since 1992. In that time he has taken the college from one location to six campuses, 70,000 students (the largest in North Carolina) and national renown.

  • Birth of a Colony North Carolina Guide for Educators Act II—The Road to Zacatecas
    Birth of a Colony North Carolina Guide for Educators Act II—The Road to Zacatecas Birth of a Colony Guide for Educators Birth of a Colony explores the history of North Carolina from the time of European exploration through the Tuscarora War. Presented in five acts, the video combines primary sources and expert commentary to bring this period of our history to life. Use this study guide to enhance students’ understanding of the ideas and information presented in the video. The guide is organized according to the video’s five acts. Included for each act are a synopsis, a vocabulary list, discussion questions, and lesson plans. Going over the vocabulary with students before watching the video will help them better understand the film’s content. Discussion questions will encourage students to think critically about what they have viewed. Lesson plans extend the subject matter, providing more information or opportunity for reflection. The lesson plans follow the new Standard Course of Study framework that takes effect with the 2012–2013 school year. With some adjustments, most of the questions and activities can be adapted for the viewing audience. Birth of a Colony was developed by the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, in collaboration with UNC-TV and Horizon Productions. More resources are available at the website http://www.unctv.org/birthofacolony/index.php. 2 Act II—The Road to Zacatecas By the middle of the 16th century, Spain controlled much of South and Central America as well as the islands of the Caribbean. Sugar plantations, which relied heavily on the forced labor of the native people, flourished on the islands.

    Episode: The First Lost Colony EXPLORING NORTH CAROLINA CHAPTER 2 (0:00–2:25) ing G iew uid 1. Why do you think school textbooks devote so little space to Spanish V e exploration and colonization of the New World? This country was successfully colonized by the English, not by the Spanish. We speak English, and many people today are descendants 17 of the early English. 2. Research from the 1980s suggests that Hernando DeSoto and Captain Juan Pardo did not travel to the westernmost part of present-day North FO S Carolina, but that the expeditions traveled from the Wateree river R TEACHER valley (in present-day South Carolina) into what western North Carolina river basin?

Though researchers found no direct evidence of Spanish presence, they Fort San Juan still made discoveries at the Berry Site in 1986. What did they learn? philosophy Some possible answers: The town dated to the mid-16th century; it had earthen mounds, which suggested a powerful, well-defended town. river basin 4. What is the significance of olive jars not being traded with natives, and what can archaeologists infer about the Spanish who owned the jars? Because the jars were not traded with natives, the Spanish soldiers must have taken the jars with them. Any place these jars are found is associ­ ated with the Spanish because they alone had the jars. This knowledge allows archaeologists to pinpoint where the Spanish people traveled.

  • Unearthing Our Forgotten Past Press Release
    News Release: Immediate Contact: Anne Chesky Smith August 3, 2021 [email protected], 828/253-9231 ________________________________________________________________________________ WNC HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION HOSTS EXHIBIT OPENING FOR UNEARTHING OUR FORGOTTEN PAST ON AUGUST 18 “Unearthing Our Forgotten Past: Fort San Juan” is now on display in the Western North Carolina Historical Association galleries at the Smith-McDowell House in Asheville. The Association will celebrate the official opening of this excellent traveling exhibit on Wednesday, August 18 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm with live music, refreshments, and games on the front lawn. The event is free and open to the public. The Association is also celebrating several newly completed renovations on the historic home that serves as their facility including a new copper standing seam roof and new exterior paint. The exhibit was developed by the Exploring Joara Foundation as part of the celebration of the 450th anniversary of the Juan Pardo expeditions through Western North Carolina. Several decades ago, archaeologists identified a site near Morganton as the location of Joara, one of the largest Native American towns in what is today Western North Carolina. Joara was occupied from approximately 1400-1600 A.D. Two Spanish expeditions (led respectively by Hernando de Soto and Juan Pardo) visited the town in the 1500s. The Pardo expedition was part of a larger effort to establish a string of forts from the coast of present-day South Carolina to Mexico. In 2013, archaeologists confirmed that Joara was also the site of Fort San Juan, which was established by Pardo in 1567, nearly 20 years before the English settlement at Roanoke on the coast of North Carolina and 40 years before the settlement at Jamestown.

  • Joara, Cuenca, and Fort San Juan
    I Joara, Cuenca, and Fort San Juan Deep in the country north and west of Santa Elena, near an Indian town named Joara, was a place where the trail crested a hill and gave the captain his first glimpse of the rugged lands that lay just ahead. Whatever paths wended up and over those steep slopes would no doubt have been precarious for any men so laden with supplies, even in the best of times, but it was late Decem- ber now, icy and cold, andproof Pardo shared his company’s disquiet as he regarded the rim of snow-filled mountains on the horizon. They had put a hundred leagues or more behind them already, most of it across fine, open country, but he knew—looking across at the high ridge—that any effort to push beyond its frozen passes with tired, overburdened men would be impractical at best, foolhardy at worst. He was neither. Even so, he would not be bogged down here with so little yet to show for himself. It was nearly dusk. He gave a nod to his sergeant, Moyano, that they should make camp now before night was upon them. In the morning they would arrive at the town the Indians called Joara, and while the company recovered he would take the counsel of his of- ficers before deciding where they should go from there. Standing on the crest of the hill, he was suddenly struck by how much this land in the shadow of the mountains reminded him of Cuenca, of home. He shut his eyes and let himself believe, but for a moment, that the setting sun on his face was that of Castile.

  • Newsletter Volume 27, No. 1
    WINTER 2017, Volume 27, Number 1 Research Laboratories of Archaeology, Campus Box 3120, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill NC 2759-3120 http://www.rla.unc.edu/ncas 450th Anniversary of the Founding of Fort San Juan and the Spanish and Indian Colonial Trail The Exploring Joara Foundation, Inc. (EJF) has announced plans to mark the 450th Anniversary of the founding of Fort San Juan and the Spanish and Indian Colonial Trail. Fort San Juan (1567–1568) was built by soldiers under the command of Spanish Captain Juan Pardo, and represents the earliest European settlement in the interior of the United States, 18 years before the English “Lost Colony” at Roanoke and 40 years before Jamestown. From December, 1566, to May, 1568, Juan Pardo led two Spanish army expeditions from the Spanish colonial capital of Santa Elena (located on today’s Parris Island Marine Corps Base near Beaufort, SC) through the South Carolina coast and Piedmont, into the Piedmont and mountains of North Carolina, and over the mountains into eastern Tennessee. His mission was to establish a roadway and a series of forts from Santa Elena to northern Mexico. He received orders to “pacify the Indians” he met along the way. This effort was intended to secure the Spanish colonial expansion into “la Florida” — today’s North America. Pardo relied on existing Native American roads to make his way as far as the southern Appalachian Mountains. Along these native pathways his army camped at more than 30 Native American settlements, and he built forts at six of the Native towns.

  • The Relations Between Spaniards and Natives During the 18 Months the Fort San Juan Lasted Review by Ihintza Marguirault
    Fort San Juan: the relations between Spaniards and Natives during the 18 months the Fort San Juan lasted Review by Ihintza Marguirault Fort San Juan and the Limits of Empire: Colonialism and Household Practice at the Berry Site Edited by Robin A. Beck, Christopher B. Rodning, and David G. Moore by University Press of Florida, 2016 From 2001 to 2010 excavations were conducted. Ten years of digging, ten years of investigating and understanding, ten years on the Berry site (in nowadays Burke County, North Carolina) to demonstrate in a definitive fashion the location of the Fort San Juan built by Juan Pardo, a Spaniard explorer. Built in 1566, the Fort was completely destroyed in 1568. During the eighteen months it lasted, the relationship between Europeans and Natives from Joara went from very friendly to the complete destruction of the Spanish compound. This book, divided in six main chapters, revolves around one main question: How did these Europeans and their Native hosts at Joara construct and maintain social relations through household practice? It is known that the Fort only lasted for eighteen months, at first the Spaniards were very welcomed, but eventually it was the very ones who welcomed them as friends that led the destruction of their Fort. The question the authors try to tackle with these excavations is to understand what happened between them. To try and give an answer to these questions, the research conducted on site has been very precise, and the various authors of this book render a detailed description of their discoveries. Maybe too detailed indeed; especially for someone who is not a professional archaeologist.
