  • A History of the Town of Keene [New Hampshire]
    CHAPTER VIII. REvoLuTIONARY WAR-CONTINUED. 1776-1777. On the 5th of January. 1776, the Provincial congress took up the matter of establishing a temporary civil gov­ ernment for .the colo.ny, and "Resolved Th,at this Congress Assume the Name, Power & Authority of a house of Rep­ resentatives or Assembly for the Colony of New Hamp­ shire." A counc~l of twelve members was provided for, to be elected in the first instance by that house, afterwards by the people. Samuel Ashley of Winchester and Benjamin Giles of Ne\vport were chosen for Cheshire county. In de.. fault of a governor, the two houses assumed the executive duties during the session, and invested the committee of safety with that power during the recess. Precepts for elections were to be issued itt the name of the council and assembly, signed bJ~ the president of the council and the speaker of the house. Mesech Weare was chosen president of the council and chairman of the committee of safety, and thus became acting governor. He was also appointed chief justice of the superior court of judicature. On the 12th of April that committee of safety sent to the selectmen of each town the "ASSOCIATION TEST," which is given in the Annals of Keene as follows: To the Selectmen ofKeene.

  • "British in Thought and Deed:" Henry Bouquet and the Making of Britain's
    “BRITISH IN THOUGHT AND DEED” HENRY BOUQUET AND THE MAKING OF BRITAIN’S AMERICAN EMPIRE Erik L. Towne A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2008 Committee: Peter Way, Advisor Frank McKenna Graduate Faculty Representative Amilcar Challu Andrew M. Schocket ii ABSTRACT Peter J. Way, Advisor This work examines how Colonel Henry Bouquet used the British fiscal-military state as a blueprint for military operations in colonial North America during the Seven Years’ War (1756-63). Bouquet’s military operations marked the peripheral projection of the British fiscal-military state onto American colonists and Native Americans on the imperial periphery. Inside the colonies, military mobilization involved marshalling provincial troops, quartering soldiers, requisitioning provisions, livestock, and farm equipment, and making military infrastructure, all of which led to varying degrees of friction between the army and colonial society. Bouquet sought to impose military power on Native society by controlling diplomacy, regulating trade and gift giving, and reclaiming White captives, with mixed results. Problematically, both colonists and Indians balked at these policies, marking the failure in the colonial world of what had proven to be efficient bureaucratic institutions inside Britain. This work broadens Military Revolution and state formation theories by examining how these process unwound in an imperial setting. This work identifies variables in British America that did not obtain in the formation of European states. By bridging British imperial, colonial, and Indian historiographies, this work reports that militarization caused tensions between the British state and colonial and native peoples.

Steffen ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the life and conflicted career of Sir James Wright (1716- 1785), in an effort to better understand the complex struggle for power in both colonial Georgia and eighteenth-century British Empire. Specifically, this project will highlight the contest for autonomy between four groups: Britains and Georgians (core-periphery), lowcountry and back- country residents, whites and Natives, and Rebels and Loyalists. An English-born grandson of Chief Justice Sir Robert Wright, James Wright was raised in Charleston, South Carolina following his father’s appointment as that colony’s chief justice.

Reel numbers refer to the microfilmed Georgia colonial papers owned by DLAR. Their general contents are as follows: Volumes 648-652 Board of Trade correspondence (incoming) 1760-1782 (Reels 1, 2, (BT numbers E through I in Volumes 648-652 respectively; for 3 begin) incoming correspondence from 1734 to 1760, see Volumes 636 to 647 below in list of microfilmed documents not owned by DLAR.)
