It bears the name of Herodotus of Halicarnassus, the 5th century BCE historian of the Greco-Persian Wars. His Histories, which preserve the memory of the battles of Marathon and Thermopylae, were written so that “human achievements may not become forgotten in time, and great and marvelous deeds . may not be without their glory.” Likewise, this journal is dedicated to preserving and show- casing the best undergraduate work of Stanford University’s Department of History.

  • CASINO from NOWHERE, to VAGUELY EVERYWHERE Franco Pratesi - 09.10.1994
    CASINO FROM NOWHERE, TO VAGUELY EVERYWHERE Franco Pratesi - 09.10.1994 “Fishing games form a rich hunting ground for researchers in quest of challenge”, David Parlett writes in one of his fine books. (1) I am not certain that I am a card researcher, and I doubt the rich hunting-ground too. It is several years since I began collecting information on these games, without noticeable improvements in my knowledge of their historical development. Therefore I would be glad if some IPCS member could provide specific information. Particularly useful would be descriptions of regional variants of fishing games which have − or have had − a traditional character. Within the general challenge mentioned, I have encountered an unexpected specific challenge: the origin of Casino, always said to be of Italian origin, whereas I have not yet been able to trace it here. So it appears to me, that until now, it is a game widespread from nowhere in Italy. THE NAME As we know, even the correct spelling of the name is in dispute. The reason for writing Cassino is said to be a printing mistake in one of the early descriptions. The most probable origin is from the same Italian word casino, which entered the English vocabulary to mean “a pleasure-house”, “a public room used for social meetings” and finally “a public gambling-house”. So the name of the game would better be written Casino, as it was spelled in the earliest English descriptions (and also in German) towards the end of the 18th century. If the origin has to be considered − and assuming that information about further uses of Italian Casino is not needed − it may be noted that Italian Cassino does exist too: it is a word seldom used and its main meaning of ‘box-cart’ hardly has any relevance to our topic.

  • Games Played at the Rocky Mountain Rendezvous
    ”There goes hoss and beaver!” By Sebastian ”Char” Scheler “There goes hoss and beaver!” Games played at Rocky Mountain Rendezvous 1825-1840 By: Sebastian “Char” Scheler ”Shortly after, General Ashley and Mr. Sublet came in, accompanied with three hundred pack mules, well laden with goods and all things necessary for the mountaineers and the Indian trade. It may well be supposed that the arrival of such a vast amount of luxuries from the East did not pass off without a general celebration. Mirth, songs, dancing, shouting, trading, running, jumping, singing, racing, target-shooting, yarns, frolic, with all sorts of extravagances that white men or Indians could invent, were freely indulged in. The unpacking of the medicine water contributed not a little to the heightening of our festivities.“1 -James P. Beckwourth Although known as a notorious liar, Beckwourth is probably right when he describes the Rocky Mountain rendezvous as a wild place attended by wild men. Getting together after a year of working their trapping grounds and hard trails seems to have brought out the drunk, the gambler and the “Don Juan” dressed in greasy buckskins. The purpose of this article is to take a closer look at the games actually played by mountaineers and Indians when they attended this festival of the wilderness. Games can be fun and games can be devastating. Loosing “hoss and beaver” 2can turn any man bitter. So be careful, you don’t want to buy next years supply on credit! Card games ”There was a game of cards going on upon a clean apichimoe, by light of a fire of pitch-pine cut in small pieces, which continually fed, kept up a bright blaze, and there were several persons round a tin kettle of shrub…”3-William D.

  • Notices of the Pagan Igorots in 1789
    Notices of the Pagan Igorots in 1789 By F r a n c is c o A n t o l in , O.P. Translated by William Henry Scott Translator’s Introduction When 23-year-old Dominican Fray Francisco Antolin ar­ rived in the Philippines in 1769，his first assignment was as missionary vicar of St. Catherine’s，Buhay, in the Mission of Ituy. Ituy，or Tuy，was the name applied to the flatlands along the headwaters of the Magat River around Aritao, Dupax and Bambang in the present province of Nueva Vizcaya just north of the Caraballo Sur，and Buhay was located a few kilometers up a small tributary just south of Aritao. Some ten and twenty miles downstream was the so-called Mission of Paniqui around the present towns of Bayombong, Bagabag* and Solano, and these two mission districts were considered to lie between the pro­ vinces of Pangasinan, Pampanga and Cagayan, and to fall under the jurisdiction of none of them. To the northwest of these missions— in the present provices of Ifugao and Benguet, and Kay apa municipality of N ueva V izcaya— were unexplored mountain ranges inhabited by totally unsubjugated tribes called Igorots. It was the proximity of these independent, headtaking neighbors which required a military garrison in Aritao and another in Bagabag, and made Father Antolin’s frontier as­ signment one of considerable adventure and hardship, and not a little danger. These mountaineer Igorots had been a thorn in the side of Spanish sovereignty in the Philippines for two hundred years. They monopolized the richest gold mines in the archipelago, and collected tribute from lowlanders, carried them off into slavery or held them for ranson, and attacked them when they con­ 178 ANTOLIN-SCOTT verted to the missions; they made communications with Caga­ yan impossible for unarmed travellers, and absorbed any re­ calcitrant lowlanders fleeing government authority.

She is free to go where she likes. She does not have to work for any one boss. If she does not like an employer she can quit, but if she does not like the employing class she cannot quit, unless she is prepared to starve. She is a slave to a class. Her freedom amounts to having a longer chain than her predecessors – the serf or chattel slave. It is true that she is not bought and sold and that she has liberties unknown to former generations of workers. It is also true that she takes greater risks than former workers and that The worldwide revolutionary movement while she is not sold she is obliged inspired by the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 to sell herself. encompassed a powerful cultural component: hundreds of thousands of literary, visual, and performing artists – writers, painters,Yet how could it be otherwise so long as the filmmakers, photographers, composers, and ownership and control of life’s productive others – passionately devoted their work to the resources remained in the hands of a super- monumental task of a radical reconstitution of wealthy minority at the expense of everyone the world.
