Traces Some past events offer the historians who study them an embarrassment of riches. The archives of a successful company or an influential US president can easily fill a building, and distilling them into an authoritative book can consume decades. Other events leave behind only the barest traces—scraps and fragments of records, fleeting references by contemporary observers, and shadows thrown on other events of the time—and can be reconstructed only with the aid of inference, imagination, and ingenuity. -
Property, Identity and Place in Seventeenth-Century New England
Property, Identity and Place in Seventeenth-Century New England A thesis submitted to the School of History of the University of East Anglia in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Elizabeth Jean Southard 26 July 2013 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived therefrom, may be published without the author’s prior, written consent. Abstract This thesis presents a study of the construction and defence of English settler-colonies in New England during the seventeenth century, focusing upon the relationship between ordinary people and their environment. This work initially examines the pre- exploration reports and the first few decades of settlement and how commodification and naming practices helped in translating the landscape into a familiar, useful and, most importantly, English place. This continues in Chapter Two with a study of the distribution and construction of towns, boundaries and familiar patterns of agricultural usage. This patterning reveals how early settlers perceived their world, and how they secured traditional English customs and patterns onto this uncultivated landscape. The final two chapters will examine challenges to this system, from within New England and across the Atlantic. Chapter Three focuses on the challenge of native land rights, which threatened to undermine the initial basis of conquest and discovery as claims to the land. However, this was overcome due the flexibility of narratives of ownership and possession and the addition of native land rights to English property regimes. -

MA Dedicated to Ali my Cuttyhunk Pupils For whom this research was first undertaken , Introduction After twenty-six years of life on Cuttyhunk, twenty three of which were spent as teacher of the Cutty hunk School, I was asked by the school cpmmittee: Mrs. Sarah J. Tilton, Mrs. Doris Bosworth, and Mrs. EJlen Veeder to write the history, geography, and legends of the island for use in the schools and for sal e to those who are interested. Such a project has been one of my pet dreams ever since I first became interested in the subject and began research on it for the purpose of teaching home geo graphy and history to my pupils back in 1926. Since the present year ·is the three hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the landing of Captain Barthol omew Gosnold and his expedition on Cuttyhunk, this pamphlet might be considered a slight mell1ento of that evento If there are any errors or omissions in the account, it is because of the dearth of early records and the dif ficulty of obtaining facts from other sources, as well as the universal proclivity of mankind to error. How ever, I have checked the subject matter herein as care fuJly as possible and cite my sources in the bibliogra phy at the end of the account. -
