  • Unearthing Mesoamerican Antiquity in the Art of the United States, 1839-1893
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE OLD NEW WORLD: UNEARTHING MESOAMERICAN ANTIQUITY IN THE ART OF THE UNITED STATES, 1839-1893 Angela Susan George, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Dissertation directed by: Professor Sally M. Promey Department of Art History and Archaeology Through a series of case studies, this dissertation examines how and why artists in the United States imagined Mesoamerican antiquity between 1839 and 1893. The artists whose work I consider most closely include Frederick Catherwood, Peter F. Rothermel, Emanuel Leutze, George Martin Ottinger, and George de Forest Brush; works by other artists play supporting roles or amplify the observations made in this project. The decades in which I situate my study were key in the development of the United States’ geographic borders and national identity as well as in the foundation of archaeological investigation in Mesoamerica. During the period under question, ancient Mesoamerica provided a “usable past” for many in the United States. Since little was known of the pre-Hispanic cultures of the region, Mesoamerican antiquity served as a palimpsest upon which a number of narratives could be written. As this dissertation reveals, ancient Mesoamerica resonated differently with various individuals and groups in the United States. The Mesoamerica that existed in the U.S. imagination was at once savage, exotic, advanced, and primitive, inhabited by a population assigned a similarly disparate and ultimately contradictory range of traits. Representations of Mesoamerica were not fixed but eminently variable, shaped to serve the exigencies of many historical moments. As such, these images reveal as much about the nineteenth-century United States as they do about the people and places depicted.

Yet, women have been noticeably absent from the historical record of the RCMP, allowing the figure of the heroic male Mountie to continue his dominance in official, academic, and popular histories. Central to these discourses has been the male police body which has been positioned as the only body capable of enforcing the law in Canada.

    Chapter One {1869-1949} 1869 – “The FIRST College Football game” Princeton vs Rutgers - College Field - New Brunswick, New Jersey {Rutgers 6 Princeton 4} The 1869 New Jersey vs. Rutgers football game was between the College of New Jersey (now the Princeton Tigers) and the Rutgers Queensmen played on November 6, 1869. The game's rules were based on the London Football Association's early set of rules, which had recently become the most popular set of rules for the game of football at the time. The game, along with the schism between the FA's rules and the rules of the Rugby Football Union, set in motion the events which would lead to the development of modern American football during the following decades. LLC Bible, Painting by Arnold Friberg The game is considered to have been the first American football game ever played. The game was played in front of approximately 100 spectators. Rutgers won the game 6–4. The game took place at CollegeFootball Field (now the site of the College Avenue Gymnasium at Rutgers University) in New Brunswick, New Jersey. In what might be considered a beginning to college football rivalries, immediately after Rutgers won this game, Princeton's players were literally run out of town by the winning Rutgers students. The Princeton students reportedly jumped in their carriages and quickly made the 20-mile trip back to their campus. 1911- The Dobie “Bunk Play” Washington at Oregon - Multnomah Field - Portland, Oregon {Washington 29 Oregon 3} Gilmour Dobie was a legendary coach for the University of Washington football team.
