The wedding of Ferdinand and Isabella in 1469 brought together the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon, unifying Spain and making it a great power in Europe. In American colonial history, the marriage in 1614 of John Rolfe and the Indian princess Pocahontas bridged cultural differences to help create a brief era of peace between the English settlers in Virginia and the Powhatan Indians. Another example of intercultural union from American colonial history was the marriage in 1566 of Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, the adelantado of Florida, and an Indian princess known to the Spaniards as Doña Antonia, the sister of the Calusa Indian chief, Carlos. The wedding took place on what is now known as Mound Key on the southwest coast of Florida and was quite an inter- cultural event, including both Calusa and Spanish foods, choruses of Calusa maidens, and a performance by a dancing dwarf. It did not, however, produce political results of global importance as did that of Ferdinand and Isabella, nor even a child as did that of Pocahontas and John Rolfe. The significance of this union, which Carlos forced upon an unwilling Menéndez, lies in what it reveals about the Calusa and their world. When the Spanish arrived in Florida in the early sixteenth century, the Calusa inhabited the southwest coast of the penin- sula from what is now Boca Grande Pass south. 1 Archeological * Mr. Reilly is a Ph.D. candidate in American history at Duke University and teaches history at Chatham Hall, Chatham, Virginia.

He mentioned only two plant foods, a root used to make bread and the mud potato. 7 While the Calusa lacked agriculture, anthropological and archeological research indicates that they were not culturally primitive. The Calusa chief took a sister for a wife by custom, a practice that anthropologists John M. Goggin and William C. Sturtevant interpret as suggesting a society comparable to the Incas and Aztecs in social stratification and political integration. 8 2. Carl E.

  • Provenance: What Is It and Why Do We Care?
    Provenance: What is it and why do we care? What is it? PROVENANCE: “The pedigree of a book’s previous ownership. This may be clearly marked by the owner’s name, arms, bookplate, or evidence in the book itself; or it may have to be pieced together from such outside sources as auction records or booksellers’ catalogues.” --John Carter, ABC for Book Collectors (Oak Knoll Press, 1998) Why do we care? “Recorded ownership in a particular book at a particular time can tell us something about both owner and text; it can allow us to make deductions about the tastes, intellectual abilities or financial means of the owner, and it can show the reception of the text at different periods of history. If the book is annotated, we can see further into that world of private relationship between reader and text, and the impact of books in their contemporary contexts.” --David Pearson, Books as History (British Library, 2008) What are the common types of provenance? “There are numerous ways in which people have left traces of their ownership in books; they have written their names on the title page, they have pasted in printed bookplates, they have put their names or arms on the binding, they have used codes and mottos.” --David Pearson, Books as History (British Library, 2008) How do we explore? Each copy of a particular title has its own history. If a book, such as Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, is published in 1776, then each surviving individual copy of that work has its own 240- plus year history.

To be a philosopher was to be one who systematically inquired into nature, often in ways that we would today consider science. e Society’s purpose was thus to “promote useful knowledge” by bringing the greatest thinkers in the British colonies together to share all that they knew and were learning.

    Rupkatha Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities (ISSN 0975-2935), Vol. IX, No. 3, 2017 DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.21659/rupkatha.v9n3.09 Full Text: http://rupkatha.com/V9/n3/v9n309.pdf “In compliance with the Advice contained in these Letters”: Benjamin Franklin’s correspondence networks and the making of the Autobiography Thomas J. Haslam College of Liberal Arts, Shantou University, China. Email: [email protected] Received August 11, 2017; Revised September 15, 2017; Accepted September 18, 2017; Published September 20, 2017. Abstract This study offers a quantitative approach to mapping out and examining Benjamin Franklin’s writing of his memoirs. It does so by situating the memoirs in the context of Franklin’s other and indeed primary writing activities: his participation in various correspondence networks. Both drawing upon and differing from previous scholarship, this study ascribes key aspects of the memoirs less to intentional design and literary craft, and more to Franklin’s writing habits and cognitive style as manifested over his career. This study further argues for a reconsideration of how Jane Mecom and William Franklin influenced the memoirs. Keywords: Correspondence Networks, Benjamin Franklin, Data Analysis, Autobiography. Introduction If not for Benjamin Franklin’s correspondence networks, what we know as the Autobiography— which was never published in Franklin’s lifetime—would not exist at all. By good fortune, Abel James found manuscript that scholars have designed as Part One in 1782 because he was the executor of Grace Growden Galloway’s estate. Grace Galloway had come into possession of the manuscript when her husband Joseph Galloway, a prominent Pennsylvania politician and former protégé of Franklin, sided with the loyalist cause and fled to England in 1778.

  • The House Most Widely Associated with Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790) Is the One That He Built for His Family in Philadelphia, I
    The House that Franklin Built by Page Talbott he house most widely associated with Benjamin Franklin a house of his own, having previously resided with his family in smaller (1706–1790) is the one that he built for his family in rented dwellings in the neighborhood. T Philadelphia, in a quiet, spacious courtyard off Market Street Like Jefferson at Monticello, Franklin had a hand in the design of between Third and Fourth Streets. Newly returned from his seven-year the house, though he spent the actual building period as colonial stay in London in late 1762, Benjamin Franklin decided it was time for agent in England. His wife, Deborah (1708–1774), oversaw the con- struction, while Franklin sent back Continental goods and a steady stream of advice and queries. Although occupied with matters of busi- ness, civic improvement, scientific inquiry, and affairs of state, he was never too busy to advise his wife and daughter about fashion, interior decoration, and household pur- chases. Franklin’s letters to his wife about the new house — and her responses — offer extraordinary detail about its construction and embellishment. The house was razed in 1812 to make room for a street and several smaller houses, but these letters, together with Gunning Bedford’s 1766 fire insurance survey, help us visualize this elegant mansion, complete with wainscoting, columns and pilasters, pediments, dentil work, frets and cornices.1 On his return to Philadelphia in November 1762, Franklin and his wife had the opportunity to plan and start building their first house, only a few steps from where they had first laid eyes on each other.
