  • Baltic Towns030306
    Seventeenth Century Baltic Merchants is one of the most frequented waters in the world - if not the Tmost frequented – and has been so for the last thousand years. Shipping and trade routes over the Baltic Sea have a long tradition. During the Middle Ages the Hanseatic League dominated trade in the Baltic region. When the German Hansa definitely lost its position in the sixteenth century, other actors started struggling for the control of the Baltic Sea and, above all, its port towns. Among those coun- tries were, for example, Russia, Poland, Denmark and Sweden. Since Finland was a part of the Swedish realm, ”the eastern half of the realm”, Sweden held positions on both the east and west coasts. From 1561, when the town of Reval and adjacent areas sought protection under the Swedish Crown, ex- pansion began along the southeastern and southern coasts of the Baltic. By the end of the Thirty Years War in 1648, Sweden had gained control and was the dom- inating great power of the Baltic Sea region. When the Danish areas in the south- ern part of the Scandinavian Peninsula were taken in 1660, Sweden’s policies were fulfilled. Until the fall of Sweden’s Great Power status in 1718, the realm kept, if not the objective ”Dominium Maris Baltici” so at least ”Mare Clausum”. 1 The strong military and political position did not, however, correspond with an economic dominance. Michael Roberts has declared that Sweden’s control of the Baltic after 1681 was ultimately dependent on the good will of the maritime powers, whose interests Sweden could not afford to ignore.2 In financing the wars, the Swedish government frequently used loans from Dutch and German merchants.3 Moreover, the strong expansion of the Swedish mining industries 1 Rystad, Göran: Dominium Maris Baltici – dröm och verklighet /Mare nostrum.

  • History of Upland, PA
    Chronology of Upland, PA from 1681 through 1939 and A Chronology of the Chester Mills from 1681 through 1858. Land in the area of today’s Upland was entirely taken up in the 1600’s by Swedes, and laid out in “plantations”. Swedes and Finns had settled on the west bank of the Delaware River as early as 1650. The Swedes called this area “Upland”. Peter Stuyvesant, Dutch Governor of New Amsterdam (now New York), forced the Swedes to capitulate and named the area “Oplandt”. September, 1664 – English Colonel Nichols captured New Amsterdam, it became “his majesty’s town of New York”. The Swedes decided it was “Upland” again. Local Indians were of the Lenni Lenape tribe – The Turtle Clan. An old Indian trail ran from Darby along the general route of the present MacDade Blvd. into the Chester area, where it followed today’s 24th Street to the present Upland Avenue. Here it turned down the hill passing the current Kerlin Street, and on to the area that is now Front Street where it turned right, following close to Chester Creek across the land which later would become Caleb Pusey’s plantation, and then made a crossing to the higher land on the opposite side of the creek. Dr. Paul Wallace, the Indian expert, sites this Indian trail; “The Indians could here cross over on stones and keep their moccasins dry”. The Indian name for the Chester Creek was “Meechaoppenachklan”, which meant. Large potato stream, or the stream along which large potatoes grow. From 1681 . William Penn, being a man who learned from the experiences of others, was intent on providing a vital infrastructure for the settler/land owners in the new colony.

  • Fritsch AC 2
    Cercles 19 (2009) ANGLICAN OR AMERICAN: Re-examining the Impact of the Frontier on Legal Development in Seventeenth-Century Pennsylvania CHRISTOPHER N. FRITSCH The question of the Americanization of the English common law was a subject of historical interest prior to the American Revolution. In his lectures presented at the University of Oxford, William Blackstone noted that Britain’s colonies fell into two categories—areas claimed “by right of occupancy only, by finding them desert and uncultivated, and peopling them from the mother country” and regions gained by conquest or treaty [1:104]. In his estimation, the former area immediately became subject to the laws of England. In the latter, a legal system of some form pre-existed the conquest or the treaty. In this situation, the older, established laws continued, until the monarch decided to change them [1:104-5]. Blackstone believed that the American settlements existed by right of conquest [1:105].1 Thus, the common law held no authority there. However, Parliament did and like other English possessions, such as Ireland and the Isle of Man, residents were subject to Parliament and its statutes, but only if they were specifically mentioned.2 Did this allow colonists in British North America the freedom to develop their own common and statute laws? As much as the common law held no authority within this region according to Blackstone, colonial governors and legislatures were barred from passing laws or establishing any legal custom which was “repugnant to any law, made or to be made in this kingdom” [1:105].3 1 English historians have disagreed with these conclusions.

  • U NTIL Shurtleff Exposed What He Called "The Log Cabin Myth,"
    LOG HOUSES IN PENNSYLVANIA DURING THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY By C. A. WESLAGER* U NTIL Shurtleff exposed what he called "the log cabin myth,"' U it was erroneously believed that the first American colonists, regardless of their national origins, erected log cabins as their earliest choice of dwelling houses. Now it is generally recognized by all informed historians that the English settlers from New- foundland to Virginia built several types of temporary residences, but the house of horizontally-placed logs was not part of their archi- tectural pattern. Similarly, the first Dutch settlers at New York erected crude shelters of several types, but they did not build log homes. Recently the present writer has been called upon to re- examine the question of the log house as it pertains to the seven- teenth century Maryland2 and Virginia3 settlements, and the newer data presented fully support Shurtleff's thesis. Corroborative data have also been added to Shurtleff's evidence, proving that the log cabin made its American debut with the Swedish and Finnish settlers on the Delaware River.4 Pennsylvania holds a unique position in the diffusion of the "log complex" to America. Not only did the first settlers in the Com- monwealth, who were of Scandinavian origin, build and occupy log houses, but the Germans who followed them did likewise. The two-fold combination resulted in an architectural impact that had *Mr. C. A. Weslager of Wilmington, Delaware, is President of the Eastern States Archaeological Federation. For several years past he has been making a study of log cabins, and has published articles on log houses in Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.

C. W. H. PILE, PRINTER, No. 422 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. Stack Annex 5 PREFACE. IT has been no part of my intention in compiling these lists entitled "The Bench and Bar of Philadelphia," to give a history of the organization of the Courts, but merely names of Judges, with dates of their commissions; Lawyers and dates of their ad- mission, and lists of other persons connected with the administra- tion of the Laws in this City and County, and in the Province and Commonwealth. Some necessary information and notes have been added to a few of the lists. And in addition it may not be out of place here to state that Courts of Justice, in what is now the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania, were first established by the Swedes, in 1642, at New Gottenburg, nowTinicum, by Governor John Printz, who was instructed to decide all controversies according to the laws, customs and usages of Sweden. What Courts he established and what the modes of procedure therein, can only be conjectur- ed by what subsequently occurred, and by the record of Upland Court.

  • Chronology of Colonial Swedes on the Delaware 1638-1713 by Dr
    Chronology of Colonial Swedes on the Delaware 1638-1713 by Dr. Peter Stebbins Craig Fellow, American Society of Genealogists Fellow, Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania Historian, Swedish Colonial Society originally published in Swedish Colonial News, Volume 2, Number 5 (Fall 2001) Although it is commonly known that the Swedes were the first white settlers to successfully colonize the Delaware Valley in 1638, many historians overlook the continuing presence of the Delaware Swedes throughout the colonial period. Some highlights covering the first 75 years (1638-1713) are shown below: New Sweden Era, 1638-1655 1638 - After a 4-month voyage from Gothenburg, Kalmar Nyckel arrives in the Delaware in March. Captain Peter Minuit purchases land on west bank from the Schuylkill River to Bombay Hook, builds Fort Christina at present Wilmington and leaves 24 men, under the command of Lt. Måns Kling, to man the fort and trade with Indians. Kalmar Nyckel returns safely to Sweden, but Minuit dies on return trip in a hurricane in the Caribbean. 1639 - Fogel Grip, which accompanied Kalmal Nyckel, brings a 25th man from St. Kitts, a slave from Angola known as Anthony Swartz. 1640 - Kalmar Nyckel, on its second voyage, brings the first families to New Sweden, including those of Sven Gunnarsson and Lars Svensson. Other new settlers include Peter Rambo, Anders Bonde, Måns Andersson, Johan Schaggen, Anders Dalbo and Dr. Timen Stiddem. Lt. Peter Hollander Ridder, who succeeds Kling as new commanding officer, purchases more land from Indians between Schuylkill and the Falls of the Delaware. 1641 - Kalmar Nyckel, joined by the Charitas, brings 64 men to New Sweden, including the families of Måns Lom, Olof Stille, Christopher Rettel, Hans Månsson, Olof Thorsson and Eskil Larsson.
