The SAMS Lyceum of Martial and Societal Antediluvian Chronicles An The SAMS Lyceum of Martial and Societal Antediluvian Chronicles An addendum to The SAMS Sporran November 2020 Veteran’s Day ​ You might ask: Why is an American Holiday found in a Scottish newsletter? That’s a good question and here is the answer. Well, it was proposed by a Scot, President Woody Wilson and that should be a reasonable excuse. The Veteran’s Day commemoration was an outcome of World War One. The fighting ceased with an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany on the Eleventh hour of the Eleventh day of the Eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.” In 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as Armistice Day the first commemorating the sacrifices made by the men and women in uniform of with the following words: "To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the ​ heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…" World War I officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles. Much like the Congress of today The United States Congress didn’t get around to officially recognizing the end of World War I until June 4, 1926. Even then they didn’t approve it until May 13, 1938. Thus the 11th of November in each year is a legal holiday—a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as "Armistice Day." In 1954 the name was changed to Veteran’s Day to include those who served during World War II and in Korea. On June 28, 1968, the date was changed to the nearest Monday to ensure three day weekends for Federal employees by celebrating four national holidays: Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day on Mondays. Due to the massive and unnecessary confusion this caused, the annual observance of Veterans Day was returned to its original date of November 11, beginning in 1978. November in Scotland: ​ When one mentions the words November and Scotland several events spring immediately​ to mind; The Celtic Football Club's founding in 1817 or the Stone of Destiny being returned to Edinburgh Castle in 1997. Okay, just kidding. But, those events really did happen. th Most of us are probably unaware of Guy Fawkes Day, November 5 .​ It was Guy, who ​ with others, planned to assassinate Scottish born King James I and restore a Catholic monarch to the throne. They were going to blow up Parliament and the king with it. The plotters secured the lease to an undercroft (basement) beneath the House of Lords, and Fawkes was placed in charge of the gunpowder they stockpiled there. The plot failed partly because the plotters “passed the bottle” to fill time, they imbibed a wee bit too much and fell asleep and were subsequently caught. There was also a letter spilling the beans, as it were. Following his arrest when asked by one of the lords what he was doing in possession of so much gunpowder, Fawkes answered that his intention was "to blow you Scotch beggars back to your native mountains." ​ ​ Guy Fawkes is sometimes toasted as "The last man to enter Parliament with honest intentions". Fawkes became synonymous with the Gunpowder Plot, the failure of which has been commemorated in The UK since 5 November 1605. His effigy is traditionally burned on a bonfire, accompanied by a fireworks display. During the day children would go door to door asking for “A penny for the Guy” In addition to The Guy, it became the custom to burn an effigy of anyone who raised the ire of the public. After 1673, it was the pope, when the heir presumptive to the throne, James, Duke of York, made his conversion to Catholicism public. Effigies of other notable figures who have become targets for the public's ire, such as Paul Kruger and Margaret Thatcher, have also found their way onto the bonfires, although most modern effigies are of Fawkes. It is after all Guy Fawkes Day. “The Guy" is normally created by children, from old clothes, newspapers, and a mask. The bon fires, now used for The Guy, were originally part of the festival of Samhain ​ which we know today as Halloween. On the night of Samhain, people would light fires to protect ​ ​ themselves from the evil spirits and guide the good spirits on their way. The fires were then extinguished at bedtime to make the home and hearth, not to mention their bodies, cold and less inviting to the predatory and wandering evil spirits. It was originally referred to as the Festival of th ​ Fire. Over time the festival migrated to November the 5 ​ and became part of the Guy Fawkes ​ ​ festivities. Sadie Hawkins Day* in Scotland There is a tradition in Scotland that allows the lassies to “turn the tables on the laddies” and propose marriage and it wasn’t started in Gretna Green (The marriage capital of Scotland.) The origin of the tradition is said to stem from ancient Celtic history, beginning in the fifth century, in Ireland, and later became popular in Scotland. Since christianity replaced the traditional Celtic religion the position of women in Celtic society diminished. It is believed that a nun named Saint Brigdt complained to Saint Patrick that women had to wait too long for their suitors to propose. Legend has it that Saint Patrick then decreed that women could have the opportunity to pop the question - but only on one particular day in February, and only every four years. It is believed that this Irish tradition permitting women to propose on one day every four years was then taken to Scotland by Irish monks. It was unofficially named Proposal Day. ​ As any man already knows that the failure to honor a woman’s wishes always comes with a penalty, In Scotland, an unmarried Queen Margaret allegedly enacted a law in A.D.1288 allowing women to propose on leap-year day. But there was a catch: For modesty’s sake it is also said that the proposer was expected to wear either breeches or a scarlet petticoat while they were down on one knee. The law also stated that any man who declined the proposal on this day would have to pay a fine. This has also become commonplace in many European countries, with tradition stating men who turn down a woman’s proposal on a leap day should pay a penalty. The fine could consist of a new gown, money, or more unusually, 12 pairs of gloves for the lady. Theories have also suggested that the tradition originates from the time when leap days were not recognised by English law. As such, it was permissible for women to break the convection of a man proposing, and the day technically had no legal status. As we know, Leap Years occur once every four years. It is because the length of a solar year is 365 and ¼ days. Hence the extra day at the end of the year. This was a major improvement over the Roman calendar which had 5 extra days at the end of the year. In Roman times February was the last month of the year, so it was logical to add the extra day onto the end of this month. It was Julias Caesar, who in 45 BC introduced the leap day to the Julian calendar, However, there are exceptions to when leap years occur - the year has to be exactly divisible by four, except for years that are exactly divisible by 400. In these so-called ‘centurial’ years, it is only a leap year if they are exactly divisible by 400. So while the Romans could conquer the world and build magnificent roads they had a hard time counting days. Maybe that’s because there was no ‘zero’ in Roman numerals. *In the popular classic comic strip “Lil Abner” the womenfolk of Dogpatch On Sadie Hawkins Day were allowed to chase any unmarried man and if she caught him he had to marry her. Sadie ​ Hawkins Day races and events grew in popularity during the course of All Capp's long running cartoon. This cartoon made holiday largely died out after 40 years when the cartoon was discontinued. It can occasionally be seen celebrated on college campuses. For you bachelor folk, this year, Sadie Hawkins Day falls on Friday November 13th. So Laddies get out them runnin’ boots. The Truth About The First Thanksgiving The penultimate celebration of Fall has always been Thanksgiving. Tradition has a place of honor on that day. Thanksgiving has tradition out the wazoo. Family members gather from far and near to celebrate the close of the harvest season. Tables are set with a centerpiece of a tissue paper fold out turkey and little ceramic figurines of Pilgrim men and women and if you are really into tradition and Indian figurine or two. The best china and flatware are set and don’t forget the cloth napkins. An extra TV might be set up in another room, of course, for those family members who support That Other Team. Then there is the traditional turkey dinner with green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and those homemade (out of a can) biscuits and of course, the stuffing ( my favorite - oyster dressing).

  • Mayflower Story.Pdf
    OFFICIAL Mayflower Story The Mayflower set sail on 16th September 1620 from Plymouth, UK, to voyage to America, known to English explorers at the time as the New World. But its history and story start long before that. Its passengers were in search of a new life. They would go on to be known as the Pilgrims influencing the future of the United States of America in ways they could never have imagined. This story isn't just about the Mayflower's passengers though. It's about the people who already lived in America such as the Wampanoag tribe and the enormous effect the arrival of these colonists would have on Native Americans and the land they had called home for centuries. The Passengers More than 30 million people, including many celebrities, can trace their ancestry to the 102 passengers and approximately 30 crew aboard the Mayflower when it landed in Plymouth Bay, Massachusetts, in the harsh winter of 1620. On board were men, women and children from different walks of life across England and the city of Leiden, Holland. A significant number were known as Separatists - people who mostly wanted to live free from the current Church of England, under the ruling of Henry VIII, which dictated all aspects of life and to dispute that rule was a path ending in prosecution. Others were on the ship anticipating the chance to build a better future, the opportunity of new land and the offer of freedom and adventure. The passengers are often grouped into ‘Saints’ or ‘Strangers’ by historians, alluding to their motivations for the journey.

It was with the help of a Native American they knew as Squanto that they learned to properly cultivate the land so that they could survive and flourish. All of that might seem quite removed from your own gardening endeavors, however there is much to be learned from those historical lessons. What was the soil like then? How did the soil affect the food being grown? What techniques were used to enrich the soil? Why is it that the Pilgrims, being from a more technologically advanced society, needed the help of the Native Americans to survive? Whether you are an experienced gardener, or just starting out, “Squanto’s Garden” has plenty to teach you.

  • The First Feast of Thanksgiving for a Bountiful Harvest Early Fall of 1621
    Today in Our History The First Feast of Thanksgiving for a Bountiful Harvest Early Fall of 1621 Giving thanks for the Creator’s gifts had always been a part of Wampanoag daily life. From ancient times, Native People of North America have held ceremonies to give thanks for harvests. In England, there were thanks-giving celebrations after successful crops also. The Separatists (our Pilgrim ancestors) celebrated by giving thanks as part of their religion. They had a very strong Christian faith and giving thanks was a daily, and most probably, a continuous expression of their gratitude for their blessings. Edward Winslow, who would hold several government positions at Plimoth Colony wrote of the planning and construction of their new plantation in Plimoth: “We set the last spring some twenty acres of Indian corn, and sowed some six acres of barley and pease; and according to the manner of the Indians, we manured our ground with herrings, or rather shads, which we have in great abundance.” In the post-harvest autumn of 1621, after a winter of sickness, death and the building of seven “dwelling” houses, the Pilgrims’ hard work and sacrifices were rewarded with a bountiful harvest. They gave thanks to God with prayer, feasting and firing their muskets. As many as ninety Wampanoag also joined in the celebration. Edward Winslow’s description of this great feast of thanksgiving, which was the first feast in the New World, was recorded in a Photo furnished by Plimoth Plantation letter to a friend of his in England in 1622: “Our harvest being gotten, our governor sent four men on fowling, that so we might, after a special manner, rejoice together after we had gathered the fruit of our labors.

  • The Removal of Confederate Monuments in the United States
    book reviews 233 Lisa Blee and Jean M. O’Brien, Monumental Mobility: the Memory Work of Massasoit, Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press, 2019, 288p. isbn 9781469648408. Price $29.99. The removal of Confederate monuments in the United States has prompted a spirited debate regarding the histories they memorialize, the meanings derived by viewers, and their racist origins. Lisa Blee and Jean M. O’Brien’s Monumen- tal Mobility: The Memory Work of Massasoit concerns a different monument, a bronze casting of the Pokanoket leader 8sâmeequan (known commonly as ‘Massasoit’) by sculptor Cyrus Dallin installed at Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1921, as well as issues of indigenous history and memorialization as cop- ies of Dallin’s work traveled across the country. By exploring stories surround- ing copies of the Massasoit statue in four topical chapters, ‘Casting,’ ‘Staging,’ ‘Distancing,’ and ‘Marketing,’ the authors uncover the origins of these statues, the intentions of their exhibitors and purchasers, the effects of distance as the statues traveled beyond Plymouth, and how marketing and capitalism in- tersected with historical memory and public reception of the statues. These chapters work to elucidate the relationship between historical events and memory-making, the ongoing nature of settler-colonialism, and the connec- tions between consumer culture and memorialization. The conclusion of this excellent and thought-provoking book connects the story of 8sâmeequan and the complicated and contested history of his memorialization as the ‘Massa- soit’ to the wider issues of memory-making and the meanings of monuments that have engulfed Civil War-era memorials. The first chapter on ‘Casting’ explores the origins of the Massasoit bronzes, weaving together surviving historical details on the life of 8sâmeequan with the work of Utahan sculptor Cyrus Dallin and the efforts of the Improved Or- der of Red Men (iorm) and the Massasoit Memorial Association to shift the nation’s colonial origins story away from Jamestown and towards New Eng- land’s Pilgrim settlement.

  • Cybersecurity Cyberwise Tips
    May 11, 2021 | CyberWise – How to Create a Strong Password Recently, the State Department’s Directorate of Cyber and Technology Security released their guidance on creating strong passwords. Considering that most Federal and contract employees continue to work remotely, continued reliance on strong passwords for both business and personal accounts is very important. The most used passwords are extremely easy to guess and only take hackers a few seconds to crack. For example, “Admin1234” would only take 0.22 seconds to crack. By contrast, a memorable phrase such as “WherecanIfindagoodsandwich?” would take 771 years to crack with current brute force methods. How to stay CyberWise, according to the State Department: • When possible, use your PIV or multi-factor authentication. • Use different passwords for different accounts. If you are reusing a password on multiple accounts and a hacker cracks one of them, they may try the recovered passwords on your other accounts too. • Do not include personal identifiers like your phone number, name, child or pet’s name, or birth date, especially for those who were affected by the OPM breach in 2015 – this information is already on the Dark web. • Avoid selecting commonly used words (e.g., colors, fruits, animals, days) or phrases (e.g., “Password1234,” “DOSadmin1”). Password cracking tools include dictionary-based testing capabilities. • Do not use repetitive characters or patterns (e.g., “0000,” “1234,” “aaa,” or “7878”). • Consider using a unique passphrase that is easy to remember or picture in your mind, but difficult to guess. According to the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) guidance, you should consider using the longest password or passphrase permissible.

In the popular myth a group of idealistic religious reformers fled persecution into the wilds of the New World, braving seas, storms, winter, hunger, and death at the hands of teeming hordes of Indians, carving a new life out of an unspoiled wilderness, building a civilization with naked force of will and an unshakable religious vision. As with most historical myths, this account has been idealized to the point that it obscures the facts of the Pilgrims’ voyage.

  • Metacom, Also Called Metacomet, King Philip, Or Philip of Pokanoket (Born C
    Metacom, also called Metacomet, King Philip, or Philip of Pokanoket (born c. 1638, Massachusetts—died August 12, 1676, Rhode Island), sachem (intertribal leader) of a confederation of indigenous peoples that included the Wampanoag and Narraganset. Metacom led one of the most costly wars of resistance in New England history, known as King Philip’s War (1675–76). Metacom was the second son of Massasoit, a Wampanoag sachem who had managed to keep peace with the English colonizers of Massachusetts and Rhode Island for many decades. Upon Massasoit’s death (1661) and that of his eldest son, Wamsutta (English name Alexander), the following year, Metacom became sachem. He succeeded to the position during a period characterized by increasing exchanges of Indian land for English guns, ammunition, liquor, and blankets. He recognized that these sales threatened indigenous sovereignty and was further disconcerted by the humiliations to which he and his people were continually subjected by the colonizers. He was, for example, summoned to Taunton in 1671 and required to sign a new peace agreement that included the surrender of Indian guns. Metacom’s dignity and steadfastness both impressed and frightened the settlers, who eventually demonized him as a menace that could not be controlled. For 13 years he kept the region’s towns and villages on edge with the fear of an Indian uprising. Finally, in June 1675, violence erupted when three Wampanoag warriors were executed by Plymouth authorities for the murder of John Sassamon, a tribal informer. Metacom’s coalition, comprising the Wampanoag, Narraganset, Abenaki, Nipmuc, and Mohawk, was at first victorious.
