Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Uttermost Parts of the Earth by Frederic Hunter Uttermost Part of the Earth Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Uttermost Parts of the Earth by Frederic Hunter Uttermost Part of the Earth. Uttermost Part of the Earth (1948), by E. Lucas Bridges, is the definitive story of Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina. The memoirs of the land’s ‘third white native’, it details his life amongst the indigenous Fuegians, their cultures and the effects of colonisation. Part autobiography, part ethnography, part history book and part adventure novel, Uttermost Part of the Earth is the most detailed account we have on a people now extinct. Lucas Bridges (1874 – 1948) was the eldest son of Reverend Thomas Bridges, who established the Anglican Mission at Ushuaia, Tierra Del Fuego. He grew up amongst the coastal Yaghan people and, as a young man, explored the island’s interior, where previously uncontacted tribes lived. AF Tschifferly, who rode from Argentina to Washington DC on horseback, convinced Bridges (below) to write down his stories. In his 70s, Bridges applied his lifelong energy to writing this book. It describes his later life – service in WW1, adventures in Paraguay and South Africa, only in passing. Tierra Del Fuego is the focus. The book five parts: Ushuaia, 1826-1887: European exploration, Bridge’s early life, the Yaghan. Haberton, 1887 – 1899: adventures on the coast, the Manek’enk (Aush), first contact with the Selk’nam. The Road to Najmishk (1900-1902): Selk’nam conflict, adventures in the interior A Hut in Ona Land (1902-1907) Bridges’ sheep farm. Selk’nam culture, Fuegian animals, myths and legends. The Estancia Viamonte, (1907-1910) The story concludes. Vivid descriptions bring the prehistoric wilderness of Tierra del Fuego to life, its rugged cliffs and islands, snowy forests, mountains, moors and bogs and the creatures who call it home. Bridges alternates between the main narrative and such descriptions, peppering them with strange and fantastic anecdotes. While his father dedicated his life to transliterating the Yaghan language, Bridges is most interested in the mysterious tribe beyond the mountains. After making contact, he lives and hunts amongst the Selk’nam hunter-gatherers (whom he calls ‘Ona’, their Yaghan name) for over ten years. He learns their language and customs, makes friends and enemies, and is eventually the only outsider initiated to their lodge. His accounts cover everything from courtship to clothing to secret societies and the Selk’nam’s (lack of) religion. Though the author veers on paternalistic, he treats the Fuegians with genuine respect and is free from the naked racism so common in his time. He tries but does not succeed, to ‘soften the blow of civilization’ and help the Selkn’am adapt. They left no records of their own. The cast of characters can be bewildering. Many key players have unfamiliar Fuegian names. Bridges does well, however, in describing their backgrounds and personalities, while reminding the reader of past events. Memorable individuals include the insane ‘wizard’ Minkiyolh, the hunter Ahnikin and the gaucho Serafin Aguirre. The many stories in these pages are fascinating, heartwarming and sad. There are true tales of abduction, murder, hunting trips, shipwrecks, escaped convicts, massacres and suicidal horses woven throughout its pages in simple and matter-of-fact prose. Overriding the stories, however, is the sobering doom Bridges alludes to from the start. Civilization will triumph. Roads and airstrips will conquer South America’s last frontier, and guns, alcohol and measles will destroy the indigenous way of life. Bridges does not discuss the Selk’nam genocide at length . That happened in northern Tierra Del Fuego in the 1890s, before Bridges made contact. Those he meets are the remainders yet untouched by colonialism. Due to libel, Bridges does not disclose the names of murderous settlers. Their children were still prominent landowners when he published. Obtaining this book was difficult . It went out of print years ago and the only copies online are expensive second-hand ones or third party reprints. I opted for the latter option and paid around $30 to have it delivered from New Delhi. It is a hefty book with well over 500 pages. Unfortunately its many black and white photographs and maps were barely visible. They are one of the books’ main draws. This passage on page 336 stands out: “Talimeoat was a most likeable Indian. I was much in his company. One still evening in autumn, just before business was to take me to Buenos Aires, I was walking with him near Lake Kami. We were just above the upper tree level, and before descending into the valley, rested on a grassy slope. The air was crisp, for already the days were getting short and, with weather so calm and clear, there were bound to be a hard frost before sunrise. A few gilt edged, feather clouds broke the monotony of the pale green sky, and the beech forest that clothed the lake’s steep banks to the water’s edge had not yet completely lost its brilliant autumn colours. The evening light gave the remote ranges a purple tint impossible to describe or to paint. Across leagues of wooded hills up the forty-mile length of Lake Kami, Talimeoat and I gazed long and silently towards a glorious sunset. I knew that he was searching the distance for any sign of smoke from the camp-fires of friends or foes. After a while his vigilance relaxed and, lying near me, he seemed to become oblivious to my presence. Feeling the chill of evening, I was on the point of suggesting a move, when he heaved a deep sigh and said to himself, as softly as an Ona could say anything: “Yak haruin.” (“my country”) “From Jerusalem to the Uttermost Parts of the Earth” – Have we Misunderstood Acts 1:8? A missionary comes to your church to speak, and you absentmindedly turn to Matt 28:18 or Acts 1:8. Sure enough, this time he will speak about the Great Commission from Acts: You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. His sermon touches upon familiar points: Jerusalem was their home town, and they were supposed to evangelize there first. Judea was their home area. Now, Samaria was like but not identical with Judea, but next in line since it was a nearby mission field. And of course “the end of the earth” means any foreign country. [1] In conclusion, the preacher adds: We are all called to be missionaries (I take objection to that, by the way, see below). What is your Jerusalem and Judea? What is your Samaria? What is the uttermost part of your earth? Does God want you to preach his gospel in a foreign land? You shouldn’t go to the ends of the earth until your Jerusalem is evangelized. May I propose that we have this all turned around. First, let’s look at Luke 24. Since Luke and Acts are two volumes by the same author, the last chapter of Luke and the first of Acts overlap. In Luke 24:45-49 Jesus talks about the mission, in different terms and with more detail: (45) Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, (46) and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, (47) and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. (48) You are witnesses of these things. (49) And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high. Notice the parallels between Luke 24 and Acts 1: Jesus proves himself to be alive; the mission must be preceded by the gift of the Spirit; then the gospel will go forth, specifically from Jerusalem, to all nations. The important new datum from Luke is that this program comes from “the Scriptures” – in other words, the Bible predicted not only the death and resurrection of Jesus; it also foretold that the Spirit would come (as in Joel 2:28-32); and that the gospel would go forth from the city of Jerusalem . Where did the prophets predict the last part? Most commentators have pointed to Isa 2:3 – For out of Zion shall go the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. The great church father Irenaeus wrote, in Against Heresies 3.20 (ANF 1: 451) – And again, specifying the place of His advent, he says: “The Lord hath spoken from Zion, and He has uttered His voice from Jerusalem.” Matthew Henry, in his comments on Ezekiel 47, spoke of Jerusalem and said: There it was that the Spirit was poured out upon the apostles, and endued them with the gift of tongues, that they might carry these waters to all nations. In the temple first they were to stand and preach the words of this life , Acts 5:20. They must preach the gospel to all nations, but must begin at Jerusalem , Lu. 24:47. We might add Isa 66:18-19 – …the time is coming to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and shall see my glory, and I will set a sign among them. And from them I will send survivors [in context, the survivors are from Jerusalem] to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the coastlands far away, that have not heard my fame or seen my glory. And they shall declare my glory among the nations.

  • Así Nació Ushuaia. Orígenes De La Ciudad Más Austral Del Mundo1
    Dossier. Reflexiones en torno a los estudios sobre Territorios Nacionales Así nació Ushuaia. Orígenes de la ciudad más austral del mundo1 Aroldo Canclini** LA VIDA EN EL FIN DEL MUNDO (1869-1884) Aunque en Ushuaia la vida tenía mucho de rutinario, la forma en que transcurrían las cosas en la población más austral del mundo merece ser consignada brevemente. Los recuerdos de los hijos de los misioneros -Lucas Bridges en su hermoso libro y su hermano Guillermo oralmente- son coincidentes y demuestran cómo quedaron marcados por aquella experiencia. El horario cotidiano cambió varias veces durante los años, pero podemos dar como ejemplo el que regía para el verano de 1876. Todos se levantaban a las cinco menos veinte y, antes de desayunarse a las seis, los misioneros dedicaban un rato a la lectura de la Biblia y a la oración en conjunto. A la hora citada, tocaba una campana para llamar a los indígenas quienes, luego de comer, se dedicaban a sus trabajos. Algunos cuidaban las cabras y vacas que se utilizaban para el consumo y otros cultivaban las huertas que todos tenían detrás de su casita. En algunas ocasiones, se construían cercos o caminos, por ejemplo desde la iglesia hasta la playa. De nueve a diez, se celebraba un culto para implorar la bendición divina durante el día y luego se daba alguna enseñanza a los hombres y mujeres, que después volvían a su trabajo. A la una de la tarde otra campana llamaba a almorzar y de dos a cinco y media se trabajaba nuevamente. Los sábados a la tarde y los domingos eran días de descanso.

  • E. Lucas Bridges, Ultimo Confine Del Mondo. Viaggio Nella Terra Del Fuoco
    E. Lucas Bridges, Ultimo confine del mondo. Viaggio nella Terra del Fuoco (Torino, Einaudi, 2009, ISBN 9788806197582, XX- 590 pp.) di Claudia Borri Nell’estremità meridionale del Sudamerica, l’arcipelago della Terra del Fuoco rimase, fino alla seconda metà del XIX secolo, l’habitat incontrastato delle popolazioni indigene che vivevano a sud dello stretto di Magellano. Per quanto velieri di ogni nazionalità avessero solcato quei mari, nessun colono europeo aveva cercato di stanziarsi sulle coste di quelle terre desolate, gelide e improduttive. Ogni tentativo di sopravvivervi sarebbe risultato inutile e nessuna potenza europea sembrava interessata a correre il rischio di insediarvi dei coloni. Le cose cominciarono a cambiare quando, nel 1826, l’Inghilterra inviò il brigantino Beagle, al comando del capitano Robert Fitzroy, a esplorare la Patagonia e i canali australi dell’intricato arcipelago fuegino. Quattro anni dopo, infatti, prima di prendere la via del ritorno, il religiosissimo comandante della spedizione prelevò quattro indigeni yagán (una donna e tre uomini, immediatamente battezzati con gli stravaganti nomi di Fuegia Basket, York Minster, Boat Memory e Jemmy Button) e li portò in Inghilterra con l’intento di mostrarli ai suoi compatrioti come esemplari di uomini primitivi, ma, soprattutto, con quello di civilizzarli e di convertirli al cristianesimo. Quando una seconda spedizione fu inviata dall’Inghilterra alle terre australi, sul Beagle, insieme al giovane naturalista Charles Darwin, vennero imbarcati anche i tre yagán sopravissuti (Boat Memory era morto in Inghilterra), che vennero così riportati nelle loro terre di origine. In questo stesso lasso di tempo, gli inglesi si erano insediati definitivamente nelle isole Falkland, all’imboccatura orientale dello stretto di Magellano.

  • SOUTHERN OCEAN 165 © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely © Antarctic Convergence Horn Cape Islas Diego Ramirez Museo Ushuaia Marítimo De
    © Lonely Planet Publications 165 SOUTHERN OCEAN Southern Ocean The southern parts of the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans form the fifth ocean of the world, the Southern Ocean. It surrounds Antarctica and isolates it geographically, biologically and climatically from the rest of the world. Many people are anxious about crossing the Southern Ocean, but it must be done in order to reach Antarctica. Certainly the weather can be stormy. With no landmasses to impede the low-pressure systems that ceaselessly circle Antarctica in a clockwise direction, the westerly winds can reach great speeds – and the seas can get very rough. The more than 90% of Antarctic cruises that visit the Antarctic Peninsula sail from Ushuaia, Argentina and across the Drake Passage, 1000km of ocean between South America and Ant- arctica. The crossing is generally accomplished in two days – sometimes faster, sometimes slower. Smooth seas are known as the ‘Drake Lake’; their opposite is called the ‘Drake Shake,’ also referred to as ‘paying the Drake Tax.’ Once your ship is in the calm waters of the South Shetlands or the Peninsula, nearly all uncomfortable motion ceases. The very infrequent voyages to Antarctica from Australia, New Zealand or South Africa require a longer voyage, meaning a greater chance of experiencing heavy weather. But there’s also more time for bird-watching, stargazing and possibly seeing the aurora australis. Crossing the Southern Ocean confers a psychological benefit to your Antarctic journey, for it makes manifest the continent’s remoteness and isolation. The passage provides time to prepare for Antarctica, to look forward to it.
