Brown; historian Obed Macy; and journalist J. Ross Browne, among others. In my Introduction, I argue that these whaling narratives helped to further develop and perpetuate an already existing fantasy of masculine physical labor which imagines the United States’ working class men to be ideal, heroic Americans. This fantasy was so compelling and palpable that, surprisingly enough, the New England whalemen could be persistently claimed as characteristically and emblematically American, even though they worked on hierarchically-stratified floating factories, were frequently denied their Constitutional rights by maritime law, and hardly ever spent any time on American soil. In my second chapter, I scrutinize the emerging assumption of an ideological fantasy of masculine physical labor that was specifically American and interrogate how certain kinds of physical labor, farming and whaling among them, were cast as particularly American in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Chapter 3 demonstrates that there was something about the work of whaling that resisted these kinds of nationalistic appropriations, and I present a close analysis of Crèvecoeur, Cooper, and Melville’s whaling narratives. My fourth chapter further explores this resistance, and I read Melville’s Moby-Dick alongside J. Ross Browne’s Etchings of a Whaling Cruise, arguing that both Melville and Browne—despite their texts’ formal differences—share an intellectual project of configuring certain aspects of the collective, physical labor of whaling as artistically generative. Chapter 5 addresses both reactionary and progressive depictions of whaling wives with regard to domesticity and nationality. My last chapter examines how some separatist-minded Nantucket Islanders demonstrated that federalism was contested not just in the antebellum South, but in other areas of the United States as well. Taken together, all of these chapters address different aspects of the complex and multifaceted identity of the American whalemen, but they also show how a particularly resilient ideological fantasy of masculine American labor develops and gains power, perpetuating itself across time. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE.....................................................................................................................................

Curious about what lingering and nostalgic representations of the declining whaling industry might remain in the turn-of-the- century American imagination, I set out to track down a sample grouping of texts from the University of Pittsburgh’s nineteenth-century periodical collection. I found only four articles which dealt with the whaling industry, most of which were published in popular periodicals such as the Century and the New England Magazine.1 However, this handful of lengthy articles contained a wealth of interesting material, dealing with particularly enduring nineteenth-century configurations of work identity, national identity, and gender identity. These pieces valorized the New England whalemen, holding them up as examples of what every American could and should aspire to be. They credited whalemen with being some of the first hardy souls to venture into the Pacific ocean, exploring unknown territory and contributing much to the stores of scientific and geographic knowledge. These articles depicted whaling wives as highly liberated women, who insisted on leaving the safety and sanctity of their homes so that they could sail around the world with their husbands on the ships that had heretofore solely been the realm of men. And they intimated that it was on the New England whaleships that the system of industrial capitalism got its start, for they claimed that the whalemen were the ones who invented the assembly line as a means of efficiently organizing workers. While these articles provided me with more than enough material for a seminar paper, I knew that four texts would not be enough to form the backbone of the larger project upon which I wanted to embark. Needing more 1 These four articles were: James Temple Brown’s “Stray Leaves from a Whaleman’s Log,” published in the Century in 1893; Gustav Kobbé’s “The Perils and Romance of Whaling,” published in the Century in 1890; George F. Tucker’s “New Bedford,” published in the New England Magazine in 1896; and an excerpt from Frank T. Bullen’s longer narrative The Cruise of the Cachalot: Round the World After Sperm Whales, published in Scientific American in 1899. v whaling narratives for my sample grouping, I set out to explore representations of the whaling industry which appeared during the heyday of whaling—the early to mid nineteenth century. Prompted by a desire to know more about the extracts which constitute the opening sections of Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick, I used Melville’s list of whaling narratives as a starting point for my research. As I soon discovered when I turned to these narratives themselves, this diverse array of extracts—taken from Milton’s Paradise Lost, Owen Chase’s narrative of the Essex disaster, and the writings of Thomas Jefferson, among other sources—only addresses a modicum of the myriad issues and concerns that emerge from the full texts. For the most part, Melville seems to have selected his quotations with an eye towards emphasizing the grandeur and impressive size of whales as well as the dangers inherent in working in the whaling industry—note the quotations from Joseph C. Hart’s Miriam Coffin and Harry Halyard’s Wharton the Whale-Killer!—but delving deeper into texts such as these yields even more complex configurations

    CONNECTING THE VANISHING FLORA, FAUNA AND ITS RELATION TO THE INDIAN REMOVAL POLICY AS SEEN IN COOPER’S THE LEATHERSTOCKING TALES Ceisy Nita Wuntu [email protected] English Department, Faculty of Languages and Arts, Manado State University, Indonesia Abstract: This study aims at connecting the vanishing flora, fauna and its Relation to the Indian removal policy in Cooper’s The Leatherstocking Tales. This research applies an American Studies’ interdisciplinary principle supplemented by the myth and symbol theory proposed by Henry Nash Smith. Smith claimed the importance of imaginative works in revealing American culture. He declared that the historical, anthropological and cultural, sociological, and ecological data as covered in this research can be equipped by data from imaginative works. Hence, in this research, those data are presented integratedly in their context of past and present. In this research, in order to highlight environmental matters in Cooper’s The Leatherstocking Tales, the analysis covers the data above that are integrated with the data revealed in The Leatherstocking Tales as a whole by employing the concept of ecocriticism. The spirit of the immigrants to have a better life in the new world, stimulated by its rich, lush and beautiful circumstances, in fact, is not an aim of a sustainable life. The desire to improve their life is not enough without using and treating its environment wisely as well as facing it with the environmental conservation paradigm. The spirit of doing the exploitation is a consequence of western humanism value. The reason of coming to America to avoid the population density as well as the competition of life cannot be attained when the immigrants experience the same population density and harsh competition as in their old world and when the beautiful nature disappears, the forests become cities, the tranquility becomes noisy and crowded, and the people experience the uncomfortable life that many kinds of conflict can follow.

LIFE after the WRECK of the ESSEX Frank Vining Smith (1879- 1967) was a prolific artist from Massachusetts who specialized in marine painting. His impressionistic style made his paintings especially beautiful. This image depicts one of his works—a whaleship, like the Essex, sailing “Out of New Bedford.” Leaving Nantucket Island, in August of 1819, the Essex had a crew of 20 men and one fourteen-year-old boy. The ship’s captain was 29-year-old George Pollard, a Nantucket man, who had previously—and successfully—sailed on the Essex as First Mate. This was his first command aboard a whaling ship. Because so many whalers were sailing from Nantucket, by 1819, Pollard and the Essex’s owners had to find crew members who were from Cape Cod and the mainland. In Nantucket parlance, these off-island chaps were called “coofs.” There were numerous coofs aboard the Essex when she left the harbor on August 12, 1819. Viewed as outsiders, by native Natucketers, coofs were not part of the island’s “family.” Even so, working on a whaler—which, by 1819, was both a ship and a factory—African-American crewmen experienced the relative equality of shipboard life.

  • "Be Wise To-Day. It Is Madness to Defer; To-Morrow's Caution May Arrive Too Late." W
    PRECAUTION. A NOVEL. BY J. FENIMORE COOPER. "Be wise to-day. It is madness to defer; To-morrow's caution may arrive too late." W. C. BRYANT'S DISCOURSE ON THE LIFE, GENIUS, AND WRITINGS OF JAMES FENIMORE COOPER, DELIVERED AT METROPOLITAN HALL, N.Y., FEBRUARY 25, 1852. It is now somewhat more than a year, since the friends of JAMES FENIMORE COOPER, in this city; were planning to give a public dinner to his honor. It was intended as an expression both of the regard they bore him personally, and of the pride they took in the glory his writings had reflected on the American name. We thought of what we should say in his hearing; in what terms, worthy of him and of us, we should speak of the esteem in which we held him, and of the interest we felt in a fame which had already penetrated to the remotest nook of the earth inhabited by civilized man. To-day we assemble for a sadder purpose: to pay to the dead some part of the honors then intended for the living. We bring our offering, but he is not here who should receive it; in his stead are vacancy and silence; there is no eye to brighten at our words, and no voice to answer. "It is an empty office that we perform," said Virgil, in his melodious verses, when commemorating the virtues of the young Marcellus, and bidding flowers be strewn, with full hands, over his early grave. We might apply the expression to the present occasion, but it would be true in part only.

  • Chapter One Nantucket It Was, He Later Remembered, "The
    Chapter One Nantucket It was, he later remembered, "the most pleasing moment of my life"—the moment he stepped aboard the whaleship Essex for the first time. He was fourteen years old, with a broad nose and an open, eager face, and like every other Nantucket boy, he'd been taught to "idolize the form of a ship." The Essex might not look like much, stripped of her rigging and chained to the wharf, but for Thomas Nickerson she was a vessel of opportunity. Finally, after what had seemed an endless wait, Nickerson was going to sea. The hot July sun beat down on her old, oil-soaked timbers until the temperature below was infernal, but Nickerson explored every cranny, from the brick altar of the tryworks being assembled on deck to the lightless depths of the empty hold. In between was a creaking, compartmentalized world, a living thing of oak and pine that reeked of oil, blood, tobacco juice, food, salt, mildew, tar, and smoke. "[B]lack and ugly as she was," Nickerson wrote, "I would not have exchanged her for a palace." In July of 1819 the Essex was one of a fleet of more than seventy Nantucket whaleships in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. With whale-oil prices steadily climbing and the rest of the world's economy sunk in depression, the village of Nantucket was on its way to becoming one of the richest towns in America. The community of about seven thousand people lived on a gently sloping hill crowded with houses and topped by windmills and church towers.

  • A Chat with Author Nathaniel Philbrick ... Life
    2/26/2018 A chat with author Nathaniel Philbrick - Entertainment & Life - The Cape Codder - Brewster, MA Entertainment & Life A chat with author Nathaniel Philbrick By Douglas Karlson Posted Nov 27, 2015 at 2:01 AM In the summer of 2014, Nantucket author and historian Nathaniel Philbrick found himself on the deck of Mystic Seaport Museum’s newly restored whaling ship, the Charles W. Morgan, as she sailed through the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary off Provincetown. As he saw whales spouting all around him, Philbrick must have imagined himself a crewmember aboard the ill-fated Essex, the subject of his best-selling book and winner of the 2000 American National Book Award, “In the Heart of the Sea.” The Essex, a Nantucket whaling ship, was rammed and sunk by a sperm whale in the South Pacific in 1819. Crewmembers survived for more than 90 days aboard the ship’s tiny whaleboats, and their tale inspired Herman Melville to write “Moby Dick.” But fans of Philbrick’s book won’t have to sail into Cape Cod Bay aboard a 19th century bark to conjure up images of this epic story of survival at sea, as Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard will bring it to them on big screens across the country on Dec. 11. In advance of that, on Wednesday, December 2, Philbrick will give a talk and sign books at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History. (Tickets are sold out.) Philbrick promised to provide the audience with a “glimpse behind the curtain,” at the making of the movie, for which he also served as a consultant.
