THE BATTLE OF HAMPDEN AND ITS AFTERMATH BY ROBERT FRASER The successful British attack on the Penobscot Valley in fall 1814 was to annex eastern Maine to Canada, a move taken to protect the important line of communications between Halifax and Quebec. New England merchants had opposed the War of 1812, as it destroyed their interna- tional trade, and most New Englanders tried to remain neutral during the fray. At Hampden, enemy threats brought them out to defend their homes. Although Great Britain returned the area to the United States at war’s end, the occupation of the Penobscot Valley had lasting implica- tions for the District of Maine. Between 1954 and 1984 Robert Fraser was assistant curator at the Cohasset Historical Society and a consultant to other historical societies. He writes historical articles for local newspa- pers and national magazines, and has published two books on light- houses and another on local history.

  • Hero Tales from American History ROOSEVELT Henry Cabot Lodge and Theodore Roosevelt Hero Tales from American History Courage Under Fire
    LODGE hero tales from american history ROOSEVELT henry cabot lodge and theodore roosevelt hero tales from american history Courage under Fire. Self-Sacrifice. Battles that Changed America. American history is full of men and women who have acted courageously when their families, communities and country needed them most. Henry Cabot Lodge and Theodore Roosevelt discovered they both loved telling the stories of these outstanding individuals who helped make America. They pared down their favorite stories to 26 and gave them as a gift to the young people of America in 1895. The McConnell Center is pleased to make this volume available again to America’s youth in hopes that it inspires them to learn more of our history and encourages them to new acts of heroism. Henry Cabot Lodge (1850-1924) served in the United States Senate from 1893 until his death in 1924. He was one of the most important American statesmen of the early 20th century and was leader of the Republican Party in the Senate. Among the books he authored were important biographies of George Washington, Daniel Webster and Alexander Hamilton. Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) was the 26th president of the United States. He authored more than 18 books, won the Nobel Peace Prize and accomplished enough to earn his place alongside George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson on Mount Rushmore, our most recognized monument to American political heroes.

  • War of 1812 1 War of 1812
    War of 1812 1 War of 1812 The War of 1812 was a military conflict fought between the forces of the United States of America and those of the British Empire. The Americans declared war in 1812 for several reasons, including trade restrictions because of Britain's ongoing war with France, impressment of American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy, British support of American Indian tribes against American expansion, and over national honour after humiliations on the high seas. Tied down in Europe until 1814, the British at first used defensive strategy, repelling multiple American invasions of the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada. However, the Americans gained control over Lake Erie in 1813, seized parts of western Ontario, and destroyed the dream of an Indian confederacy and an independent Indian state in the Midwest under British sponsorship. In the Southwest General Andrew Jackson destroyed the military strength of the Creek nation at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. With the defeat of Napoleon in 1814, the British adopted a more aggressive strategy, sending in three large invasion armies. British victory at the Battle of Bladensburg in August 1814 allowed the British to capture and burn Washington, D.C. American victories in September 1814 and January 1815 repulsed all three British invasions in New York, Baltimore and New Orleans. The war was fought in three theaters: At sea, warships and privateers of both sides attacked each other's merchant ships. The British blockaded the Atlantic coast of the U.S. and mounted large-scale raids in the later stages of the war.

    by David Migliaccio “James Mudge was a member of the company from Essex County, styled in the New England histories, “The Flower of Essex County”, which was commanded by Captain Thomas Lathrop of Beverly, and which was surprised by Indians at Deerfield, at the locality ever since known as “Bloody Creek.” The company numbered eighty four. Seventy Six of them were killed, having been ambuscaded by about seven hundred Indians, said to have been led by King Phillip in person.” History of Essex County, Mass. D. Hamilton Hurd “The memories of those, Who braved the battle showers, And shielded with their hearts and hands’ Our nation’s infant hours”. “The trampled vale alone, The streamlet’s reddened flood, Bore witness to their gallant strife, And told the tale of blood.” Hon. Edward Everett, 1865 First Methodist minister reared in New England. Born in Lynn, Mass. Converted under Rev. Jesse Lee, pioneer of Methodism in New England, at the age of fifteen during a visit to Lynn . He became an itinerant minister in Maine and eventually settled in Orrington where he established a flourishing church. A veteran of the Battle of Hampden during the War of 1812, Rev. Mudge was author of several books, was a two term State Representative to the Massachusetts Legislature and was instrumental in several legal decisions including the right of Methodist ministers to solemnize a marriage. Rev. Mudge was appointed the first chaplain , (1832-18430) of the Seaman’s Chapel in New Bedford, Mass. The reference to ”Father Mapple” in Hermann Melville’s classic, “Moby Dick” is believed to be a characterization of Rev.

  • Women, Gender, and War During the War of 1812 in the Great Lakes Region
    RHETORIC AND REALITIES: WOMEN, GENDER, AND WAR DURING THE WAR OF 1812 IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION Sherri Quirke Bolcevic A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2015 Committee: Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor Michael Brooks © 2015 Sherri Quirke Bolcevic All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor The bicentennial of the War of 1812 has reinvigorated interest in the conflict, but there are still elements of this war which remain unplumbed. Within the locality of the Great Lakes region, using diaries, journals, and letters as my main primary sources, I explore how gender dynamics established by whites prior to the War of 1812 influenced a mindset that said women were incapable of fruitful participation in warfare. In contrast to those who argue that women’s participation in the War of 1812 was extraordinary, I argue that women participated by any means that they were permitted. Although this participation occasionally flew in the face of traditional gender boundaries, many women aided in war efforts through everyday means, though they ultimately received little acknowledgment because their actions were reinterpreted through a lens of domesticity. My research shows that women were a significant part of the War of 1812, despite gendered thinking which regulated them to the role of the victim. iv This is for my grandmother, Blennie Quirke. I love you, Grandma. Thank you for giving me this chance. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My deepest gratitude goes to Dr. Rebecca Mancuso, who inspired me to pursue this project and then supported and guided me through its completion.
