SPENCER-WOOD 212 Memorial Roderick Sprague 1933–2012 Recently the SHA lost one of its founders, and the greater anthropological community had to say farewell to a special person. You begin to realize how special the person was when the chief of a Native American tribal government appears at his memorial service to express what he had meant to the tribe’s people and the importance of his friendship. Roderick Sprague was born on 18 February 1933, in Albany, Oregon, and died on 20 August 2012, in Moscow, Idaho, following several years of debilitating health. He was the youngest of three children of Roderick Sprague and Mary Willis Sprague (both deceased). He is survived by two older sisters: Anne Geaudreau of Oldtown, Idaho, and Arda Rutherford of Prescott, Arizona; his wife, Linda Ferguson Sprague, Moscow; and four children: Roderick IV and Katherine K. Sprague (her partner Tabitha) from a previous marriage, and Frederick L. Sprague (his wife Dawn and son Jack) and Alexander W. Sprague (his wife Rebecca and son Phineas) from his current marriage. Rick Sprague lived most of his life in Idaho, Washington, and Oregon, although part of his youth had been fondly spent in North Dakota, where his father was a federal agricultural agent. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in anthropology from Washington State University, served two years in the U. S. Army (honorably discharged with the rank of E-5), and received his Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Arizona, Tucson. He worked at Washington State University as a research archaeologist for three years before going to the University of Idaho in 1967 as an assistant professor of anthropology. Within a year and a half of his arrival he became chairman of the Department of Sociology/Anthropology and director of the Laboratory of Anthropol- ogy. After 12½ years the two positions became too much for one person and the two units were separated. He chose to remain the director of the Laboratory of Anthropology, but continued to teach anthropology part-time, including summer archaeological field schools. He spent a sabbatical Historical Archaeology, 2012, 46(4):1–7. Permission to reprint required. 2 HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY 46(4) year in 1986–1987 teaching at Inner Mongolia University as the first participant in the University of Idaho’s exchange with that institution. Rick did field work in Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Arizona, Montana, and Prince Edward Island. He received both the University of Idaho Library Faculty Award for Outstanding Service and the Sigma Xi Published Research Paper Faculty Award in 1986, and the Phi Kappa Phi Distinguished Faculty Award for Research in 1996. In 2000 he was honored with the J. C. Har- rington Medal, the highest international award in historical archaeology, and in 2004 he received the Carol Ruppé Service Award, both given by the Society for Historical Archaeology. He cur- rently remains the only member to receive both of these awards and the only member to serve two terms as president of the society. During his career Rick published over 130 scientific papers, articles, and book reviews, and also authored over 100 unpublished reports to agencies, specializing in historical archaeology, culture- change theory, and artifact analysis, including such areas as glass trade beads and buttons. He conducted research and burial excavations at the request of 10 different American Indian tribal governments in the Plateau, Great Basin, and Northwest Coast, with repatriation a standard pro- cedure many years prior to the enactment of the federal Native American Grave Protection and Repatriation Act. Legal work for five different Northwest tribes and two tribes outside of the area involved testimony in Fifth District Federal Court on five occasions, including one case before the U.S. Supreme Court, as well as testimony before various state and federal legislative bodies. Editorial duties involved 40 years as senior coeditor for the Journal of Northwest Anthropology (JONA, formerly Northwest Anthropological Research Notes), 96 of the 98 issues of the University of Idaho Anthropological Reports, 20 years as review editor for Historical Archaeology, as well as serving on numerous editorial advisory boards. Rick was extremely proud of his volunteer service to the Society for Historical Archaeology. Following is a list of offices, committee positions, and contributions he made to the society. Offices and Committees Regional Coordinator for Research, Northwest, 1968–1977 General Program Chairman, 2nd annual meeting, 1969, Tucson Director, 1970–1971 Secretary-Treasurer, 1971–1974 (a three-year term plus a “Truman” year to put the Secretary-Treasurer and Editor on different three-year cycles) President, 1976 (plus the usual President-Elect and Past-President positions) Historical Archaeology Reviews Editor, 1977–1997 Editorial Board Member, 1977–2008 Parliamentarian, 1984–2008 Archivist, 1987–1998 President, 1990 (plus the usual President-Elect and Past-President positions) Associate Copy Editor, 2002–2008 Committees—far too many to list but history committee at the time of his death Additionally, he spent five “long” years preparing the Cotter bibliography for posting on the SHA website. After retirement Rick continued to live in Moscow, Idaho, with his wife Linda. He was desig- nated professor emeritus of anthropology and director emeritus of the Laboratory of Anthropology at the University of Idaho. He continued to conduct research and serve as an expert witness for Northwest tribes. Besides so generously giving of his time and integrity to the SHA and JONA, Rick was pas- sionate about supporting and keeping track of the careers of his many graduate students. Only a

Using data drawn from these primary sources, I assess how the Maroons of Jamaica forged an identity for themselves in the century under slavery following the peace treaties of 1739 and 1740.

    D. SHARPLEY 1 /133 Black Discourses in North Carolina, 1890-1902: How North Carolina’s Black Politicians and Press Narrated and Influenced the Tumultuous Era of Fusion Politics By Dannette Sharpley A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors Department of History, Duke University Under the advisement of Dr. Nancy MacLean April 13, 2018 D. SHARPLEY 2 /133 Acknowledgements I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to write an Honors Thesis in the History Department. When I returned to school after many years of separation, I was prepared for challenging work. I expected to be pushed intellectually and emotionally. I expected to struggle through all-nighters, moments of self-doubt, and even academic setbacks. I did not, however, imagine that I could feel so passionate or excited about what I learned in class. I didn’t expect to even undertake such a large project, let alone arrive at the finish line. And I didn’t imagine the sense of accomplishment at having completed something that I feel is meaningful beyond my own individual education. The process of writing this thesis has been all those things and more. I would first like to thank everyone at the History Department who supports this Honors Distinction program, because this amazing process would not be possible without your work. Thank you very much to Dr. Nancy MacLean for advising me on this project. It was in Professor MacLean’s History of Modern Social Movements class that I became obsessed with North Carolina’s role in the Populist movement of the nineteenth, thus beginning this journey.

  • Winslows: Pilgrims, Patrons, and Portraits
    Copyright, The President and Trustees of Bowdoin College Brunswick, Maine 1974 PILGRIMS, PATRONS AND PORTRAITS A joint exhibition at Bowdoin College Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Organized by Bowdoin College Museum of Art Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2015 https://archive.org/details/winslowspilgrimsOObowd Introduction Boston has patronized many painters. One of the earhest was Augustine Clemens, who began painting in Reading, England, in 1623. He came to Boston in 1638 and probably did the portrait of Dr. John Clarke, now at Harvard Medical School, about 1664.' His son, Samuel, was a member of the next generation of Boston painters which also included John Foster and Thomas Smith. Foster, a Harvard graduate and printer, may have painted the portraits of John Davenport, John Wheelwright and Increase Mather. Smith was commis- sioned to paint the President of Harvard in 1683.^ While this portrait has been lost, Smith's own self-portrait is still extant. When the eighteenth century opened, a substantial number of pictures were painted in Boston. The artists of this period practiced a more academic style and show foreign training but very few are recorded by name. Perhaps various English artists traveled here, painted for a time and returned without leaving a written record of their trips. These artists are known only by their pictures and their identity is defined by the names of the sitters. Two of the most notable in Boston are the Pierpont Limner and the Pollard Limner. These paint- ers worked at the same time the so-called Patroon painters of New York flourished.

It examines the career trajectories, rhetoric, and policy agendas of these congressmen in order to determine how effectively they represented the wants and needs of the black electorate. The dissertation argues that black congressmen effectively represented and articulated the interests of their constituents. They did so by embracing a policy agenda favoring strong civil rights protections and encompassing a broad vision of economic modernization and expanded access for education. Furthermore, black congressmen embraced their role as national leaders and as spokesmen not only for their congressional districts and states, but for all African Americans throughout the South.

  • Three Cranes Tavern (1629-1775) Charlestown, Massachsuetts
    David Teniers “Tavern Scene” 1658 An Archaeological Reevaluation of the Great House/ Three Cranes Tavern (1629-1775) Charlestown, Massachsuetts By Craig S. Chartier Plymouth Archaeological Rediscovery Project May 2016 Citizens of the Commonwealth were given a rare opportunity to witness the investigation of part of Boston's earliest colonial past during the city's "Big Dig"/ Central Artery Project in 1985, when the Massachusetts Bay Colony's "Great House" was explored prior to the site's destruction (all of the background information presented here, on both the history of the property and the excavations, is based on Gallagher et al 1994). The Great House, located in City Square in Charlestown, was built in 1629 before Boston was even settled. It was to serve as the first residence of Governor Winthrop and the other prominent members of the company and as the colony's meetinghouse. It is believed to have been erected by a party of 100 men from Salem, who had been sent with orders to build it, lay out streets, and survey the two acre lots to be assigned to settlers. Work was begun in June 1629 and was expected to be completed by the time of the arrival of Winthrop's fleet of 11 ships in the summer of the following year. Archaeologists assumed that it was to have been a formal, professionally designed structure symbolizing the hierarchical nature of the new settlement and serving as a link between the old and new worlds. Unfortunately, soon after the fleet's arrival, a great mortality swept the colony, which the settlers attributed to the brackish drinking water in the new settlement.

Conquest displaced the Spanish colony and its subjects, some of who fled into the mountainous interior of Jamaica and assumed lives in isolation. This project reconstructs the historical experiences of the “negro” populations of Spanish and English Jamaica, which included its “free black”, “mulattoes”, indigenous peoples, and others, and examines how English cosmopolitanism and distinct interactions laid the groundwork for and informed the syncretic identities and communities that emerged decades later. Upon the framework of English conquest within the West Indies, I explore the experiences of one such settlement alongside the early English colony of Jamaica to understand how a formal relationship materialized between the entities and how its course inflected the distinct socio-political identity and emergent political agency embodied by the Jamaican Maroons.

  • (King Philip's War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial
    Connecticut Unscathed: Victory in The Great Narragansett War (King Philip’s War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Major Jason W. Warren, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: John F. Guilmartin Jr., Advisor Alan Gallay, Kristen Gremillion Peter Mansoor, Geoffrey Parker Copyright by Jason W. Warren 2011 Abstract King Philip’s War (1675-1676) was one of the bloodiest per capita in American history. Although hostile native groups damaged much of New England, Connecticut emerged unscathed from the conflict. Connecticut’s role has been obscured by historians’ focus on the disasters in the other colonies as well as a misplaced emphasis on “King Philip,” a chief sachem of the Wampanoag groups. Although Philip formed the initial hostile coalition and served as an important leader, he was later overshadowed by other sachems of stronger native groups such as the Narragansetts. Viewing the conflict through the lens of a ‘Great Narragansett War’ brings Connecticut’s role more clearly into focus, and indeed enables a more accurate narrative for the conflict. Connecticut achieved success where other colonies failed by establishing a policy of moderation towards the native groups living within its borders. This relationship set the stage for successful military operations. Local native groups, whether allied or neutral did not assist hostile Indians, denying them the critical intelligence necessary to coordinate attacks on Connecticut towns. The English colonists convinced allied Mohegan, Pequot, and Western Niantic warriors to support their military operations, giving Connecticut forces a decisive advantage in the field.
