Added zest was given to my researches when I became a member of the Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and step by step the old Bible records, wills, deeds, and state papers have been searched. I have en­ deavored to give merely short sketches of my forefathers,­ Larimer, Hughey, McMasters, Sheakley, McCurdy, Creigh­ ton, Irwin, King, and McLaughlin,-who settled in Lancaster, York, and Adams Counties, Pennsylvania, and the journeyings back to the old homesteads and churches of these counties has been a great pleasure to me. Differing from the trend of most family histories, I have attempted to trace each line of ancestry as far as is possible, without giving prominence to any particular line; they are, therefore, left open to further research, with the hope that in each family some one may be able to supply addi­ tional information.• The members of our early families were descended from the Covenanters, Dissenters, and Reformed Church of the Huguenots, and came to Pennsylvania to enjoy religious freedom. They owned large farms in Lan­ caster and York Counties, and were loyal patriots, God-fearing * Any person having authentic records of the surnames of the wives of Robert or Thomas Larimer will confer a great favor by forwarding such infor­ mation; for I feel that we are but making a beginning of our American family records.

It is estimated that in 1660 there ,vere over two million Huguenots, the best and thriftiest citizens of the old world. In the middle of the sixteenth century over four hundred thousand escaped, and many thousands went to England, Scotland, Ireland, and America. The history of their endurance is among the most remark­ able records of religious liberty. The persecution of the Huguenots, which checked all wholesome developments at home, whether religious, literary, or commercial, were favor­ able to their growth abroad, and we consequently find that in literary and artistic excellence the Huguenots have taken their full share. In the Revolution we can see traces of their mental and moral activity. It may be that their day of influence is not yet over, for their history is a standing marvel, illustrating the abiding power of strong religious conviction. It remained for their descendants to show to France that the Huguenot creed goes well with freedom and advance, that the religious instinct so deeply implanted in man is a true friend to orderly national life. Religion which does not abuse its power, a freedom from divided allegiance, an appetite for constitutional and intelli­ gent belief in the sovereignty of the people,-these are the 15 ttbe Urtmer Jamill? elements which the Huguenots of to-day can bring to the service of the republic under which they dwell safely, none making them afraid. In a list of one hundred and fifty of the early families of York County, Rev. Dr. Demorest, in his sketches, or history, gives the names of many French Huguenots, including the name Larimer, whose. children were presented for baptism between 1769 and 1793. He says : '' Whence came all these people ? Their traditions of trustworthiness, which we may not call in question, point with few exceptions to New Jersey, but I am confident we shall speak more precisely when we say the colony came from about New York City.'' The name "Larimer" is variously spelled Larimier, Lori­ mer, Lormer, Lorimor, Lorimore, Lorrimer, Larmor, Larimer, Larimore, Larrimore, Larrimer, and the scribes in the various years made the changes that are seen in every branch of the family. £It3abetb 1Lortmtert of francet* married, first, De Paul Emile, Marquis de Braque, Comte de Loches, steward and overseer in general of the equipages and liveries of his Majesty ; second, Joseph Fran~ois Damas, Mar­ quis de Ruffey, Brigadier-General, who entered the Boulonnais regiment of infantry, as a lieutenant, April second, 1 724.

    The Historical Roots of a Frontier Alcohol Culture: Alaska and Northern Canada Mary Ehrlander Abstract: Alcohol arrived in Alaska and northern Canada at various times beginning in the eighteenth century, by way of abusers of alcohol including traders, military personnel, whalers, miners, and finally construction workers as late as the mid-twentieth century. Likely influenced by newcomers, and perhaps owing to the tradition of feasting during times of plenty, Natives apparently adopted a binge or spree style of drinking soon after exposure. Colonial authorities and later national governments regulated trade in alcohol with Indigenous peoples, but these prohibitions were unevenly applied and widely flouted. In the frontier context, where outside authority was generally resented, drinking heavily and getting away with drinking affirmed courage, virility, and vigour, all valued personal attributes. Between the 1950s and 1970s, alcohol abuse and related harms, which had been limited and/or intermittent, became pervasive, owing to regular access to alcohol that coincided with economic development, settlement, and government provision of social services and transfer payments. In the early twenty-first century, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous northerners abuse alcohol at higher rates than their southern counterparts; however Indigenous Alaskans and Canadians experience strikingly higher levels of alcohol-related pathology, stemming from relatively high alcohol consumption rates, coupled with a binge or spree style of drinking. As northern communities face myriad alcohol- related problems, including high accidental death rates, sexual assaults, child abuse and neglect, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and extremely high suicide rates, an enduring frontier ethos fosters complacency and breeds resistance to alcohol regulations that would limit individual choices in order to reduce harms.

The history of Alaskan Christian missions is unique: Alaska developed as an arbitrary cultural/geographical construct and also one of the few regions where representatives of all three main historical branches of Christianity – Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant – proselytized simultaneously. Alaska is viewed as a special landscape where dynamic cross-cultural interactions and multi-denominational – in the case of Protestant – missionary ventures took place. Fierce competition characterized the regional cultural exchange at some times, reciprocity and friendly contacts at others. Those involved were the priests of the Russian Orthodox Church, Jesuit missionaries, Presbyterian, Episcopalian and Moravian preachers – men and women – as well as representatives of the Russian American Company, the Hudson‘s Bay Company‘s entrepreneurs and American fur traders.

A zealous missionary, Jackson established numerous missions, schools, and churches during his early work in Minnesota, the Rocky Mountains, and the Southwest. His interest in collecting things grew during this period, and by the time he went to Alaska, he had the support of the Smithsonian Institution and a display at the Princeton Theological Seminary. His successful fundraising was fueled by his public speaking abilities, his missionary newspaper ,and educat.i.onal tours to Native sites. He believed that Pmerican Indians wc,uld be better converted to Christianity if they first learned the White man's lifestyle through concrete educational experiences. JackLton hoped to avoid reservations by establishing civil government and an education system in Alaska.
