This investigation finds its roots in colonial literature and history – in the events of King Philip’s War and the texts that it produced – but moves beyond these initial points of departure to consider this archive as a laboratory for the study of the relationship between genre and knowledge on one hand, and literature and the construction of (proto-) national community on the other.

' . < ~ • U~DER THE BLACK HORSE FLAG Under the Black Horse Flag Preface THIS book is written for the f amity, and also, per­ haps, for those who love the sea, for my grand­ father's firm, the William Fletcher Weld Company, outlasted most of the merchant ship-owning houses in Boston, and after the Civil War it had the largest sailing fleet in America. The Black Horse Flag, which flew above his clippers, was a familiar sight to sailors, and many of his vessels were famous for their speed and general seaworthiness. The largest and swiftest of them all was the Great Admiral. At first I planned simply to collect and bind the logs of these clippers, but, finding that the greater portion of them would be of interest only to mari­ ners, I decided merely to use extracts. I have drawn as well upon family papers, which include both Weld and Anderson documents and my father's naval journals during the Civil War. These papers and logs opened up vistas of the Orient, the Barbary Coast, the Spanish Main, and pirates of the seven seas. When clippers no longer made white the ocean, the Black Horse Flag did not disappear, but flies to-day from the masthead of the yachts owned by different members of the Weld family.

MA Dedicated to Ali my Cuttyhunk Pupils For whom this research was first undertaken , Introduction After twenty-six years of life on Cuttyhunk, twenty­ three of which were spent as teacher of the Cutty­ hunk School, I was asked by the school cpmmittee: Mrs. Sarah J. Tilton, Mrs. Doris Bosworth, and Mrs. EJlen Veeder to write the history, geography, and legends of the island for use in the schools and for sal e to those who are interested. Such a project has been one of my pet dreams ever since I first became interested in the subject and began research on it for the purpose of teaching home geo­ graphy and history to my pupils back in 1926. Since the present year ·is the three hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the landing of Captain Barthol­ omew Gosnold and his expedition on Cuttyhunk, this pamphlet might be considered a slight mell1ento of that evento If there are any errors or omissions in the account, it is because of the dearth of early records and the dif­ ficulty of obtaining facts from other sources, as well as the universal proclivity of mankind to error. How­ ever, I have checked the subject matter herein as care­ fuJly as possible and cite my sources in the bibliogra­ phy at the end of the account.
