  • City of Myths, River of Dreams
    CITY OF MYTHS, RIVER OF DREAMS OVERLAND FROM THE BARBARY COAST TO THE GULF OF GUINEA JAMES MARR 1 FOREWORD ALL GREAT JOURNEYS BEGIN WITH A HANGOVER BORNHOLM – April 2008 Baltic storm lashed the island. Inside the restaurant four bodies huddled round a table. Rain splattered the windows; thunder split the night sky. A thin A bottle containing a fiery liquid made the rounds. We were determined in our quest; an adventure was in the offing. Glasses of schnapps clashed together. ‘To Timbuktu!’ we declared... Timbuktu has long held a curious allure. From the late eighteenth century, this mythical city provoked a succession of outwardly sane men to abandon their families and the relative comforts of Europe, to board a sailing boat armed with a musket, a compass and a loud frock-coat, to step ashore on the disease-ridden shores of West Africa and, in the company of an interpreter and a couple of asses, vanish into a menacing land. They were called explorers, or adventurers, or geographical missionaries, and they were feted as heroes, dead or alive. When the illusive Saharan city was eventually discovered, they found the gates hanging off their hinges, sand piling up in the alleyways, the buildings crumbling to dust, and the promised gold long gone. That was the cruel irony of their quest. And yet it bore legends. Thankfully, our travels through West Africa were not burdened by the responsibilities weighing those explorers of old. We were not searching for the route of a mighty river, or trying to locate a ‘lost’ City of Gold.

His thesis seminar was a place in which students could freely discuss their papers and give advice to their peers. Moreover, I thank Professor Leach for reminding us that history is as much about the story we are telling as it is about whom we are as individuals. I also thank my second reader, Professor Christopher Brown, whose course "England and the Wider World" inspired me to major in history. He has always been patient and supportive, and I cannot thank him enough for all his advice relating to reading, analyzing, and writing history. 2 Introduction 4 An Eastern Door Opens Chapter I 11 Traders and Travelers on the Ottoman Stage An Appetite for Knowledge Ottoman Dress as a Business Tool Unwritten Customs Moments of Vulnerability, Moments of Pride Chapter II 27 Englishmen in Captivity: How they coped and how they escaped Telling their Tale Seized, Stripped, and Vulnerable The Great Escape Performative Conversion Chapter III 39 Renegades at Sea, on Land, and on the Stage A Place of Intrigue The Seventeenth-Century Imagination Becoming East Conclusion 55 Changing Landscapes Appendix 60 Bibliography 65 3 Introduction An Eastern Door Opens In 1575, six years before Queen Elizabeth I signed the Levant Company charter, English merchants ventured to Constantinople to renew an Eastern trade that had been dormant for nearly twenty years.

  • Piratical Colonization: Piracy's Role in the First
    PIRATICAL COLONIZATION: PIRACY’S ROLE IN THE FIRST ENGLISH COLONIES, 1550-1600 by Austin F. Croom March, 2019 Director of Thesis: Wade G. Dudley Major Department: History This thesis analyzes the importance of piracy to the beginnings of English overseas expansion. This study will consider the piratical climate around the British Isles in the sixteenth century, and the ways in which this context affected the participants in the first English colonial projects. Piracy became inseparably associated with nearly all of the Elizabethan overseas expeditions, contributing experienced seamen to the cause and promising to fill gaps in the financial strength of the expeditions. Ultimately, piracy proved difficult to control, and sabotaged the efforts of the Elizabethan colonial promoters.

  • Lawrence J. Fleenor, Jr. Copyright and All Rights Reserved March 2019
    PRESENTATION #1 OF A THREE PART SERIES ON THE ETHNIC SETTLEMENT OF SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA By: Lawrence J. Fleenor, Jr. Copyright and All Rights Reserved March 2019 Introduction to the Series In the Spring of 2019 I was asked to write and dictate a three part series on the three dominant ethnic settlement patterns of Southwest Virginia. They were presented in roughly 45 minute segments, and broadcast so as to be received on cell phones by participants who were in their cars travelling to attend a conference on economic development that was to occur at U. Va - Wise. Most will be driving down the Great Valley of Virginia on I-81, similarly to what our ancestors did. They can think about these historic events as they drive past the places connected with them. The process of ‘writing’ consisted primarily of pulling together material I had been composing and publishing for years. It occurred to me that the current compilation would be of general interest. Therefore, some of the earlier essays will be removed from my web site, and this more globally focused one substituted so that it can be read by the general public. First of all let me say that I am well aware that there were people here before the settlers from the Old World arrived. We all honor our Indian heritage, which is too multifaceted to be included here. I also acknowledge our Black heritage. I appreciate that 40% of the folks who travelled down the Wilderness Road, which is roughly I-81, were Black. For those people interested in Black history I recommend Alex Haley’s Roots, which I cannot equal.

  • The Abhorred Name of Turk”: Muslims and the Politics of Identity in Seventeenth- Century English Broadside Ballads
    “The Abhorred Name of Turk”: Muslims and the Politics of Identity in Seventeenth- Century English Broadside Ballads A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Katie Sue Sisneros IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dr. Nabil Matar, adviser November 2016 Copyright 2016 by Katie Sue Sisneros Acknowledgments Dissertation writing would be an overwhelmingly isolating process without a veritable army of support (at least, I felt like I needed an army). I’d like to acknowledge a few very important people, without whom I’d probably be crying in a corner, having only typed “My Dissertation” in bold in a word document and spending the subsequent six years fiddling with margins and font size. I’ve had an amazing committee behind me: John Watkins and Katherine Scheil braved countless emails and conversations, in varying levels of panic, and offered such kind, thoughtful, and eye-opening commentary on my work that I often wonder what I ever did to deserve their time and attention. And Giancarlo Casale’s expertise in Ottoman history has proven to be equal parts inspiring and intimidating. Also, a big thank you to Julia Schleck, under whom I worked during my Masters degree, whose work was the inspiration for my entry into Anglo-Muslim studies. The bulk of my dissertation work would have been impossible (this is not an exaggeration) without access to one of the most astounding digital archives I’ve ever seen. The English Broadside Ballad Archive, maintained by the Early Modern Center in the English Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara, has changed markedly over the course of the eight or so years I’ve been using it, and the tireless work of its director Patricia Fumerton and the whole EBBA team has made it as comprehensive and intuitive a collection as any scholar could ask for.

  • Jewish Pirates
    Jewish Pirates by Long John Silverman The Wikipedia page on piracy gives you a lot of clues, if you know what to look for. One of the biggest clues are these two sentences, conspicuously stuck right next to each other: The earliest documented instances of piracy are the exploits of the Sea Peoples who threatened the ships sailing in the Aegean and Mediterranean waters in the 14th century BC. In classical antiquity, the Phoenicians, Illyrians and Tyrrhenians were known as pirates. Wikipedia is all but admitting what our historians do gymnastics to avoid admitting: Sea Peoples = Phoenicians. Just as we suspected. We can ignore “Illyrians” and “Tyrrhenians,” which are just poorly devised synonyms for Phoenicians. Wiki tells us Tyrrhenian is simply what the Greeks called a non-Greek person, but then it states that Lydia was “the original home of the Tyrrhenians,” which belies the fact that they were known by the Greeks as a specific people from a specific place, not just any old non-Greek person. Wiki then cleverly tells us “Spard” or “Sard” was a name “closely connected” to the name Tyrrhenian, since the Tyrrhenian city of Lydia was called Sardis by the Greeks. (By the way, coins were first invented in Lydia – so they were some of the earliest banksters). But that itself is misleading, since the Lydians also called themselves Śfard. Nowhere is the obvious suggested – that Spard/Śfard looks a lot like Sephardi, as in Sephardi Jews. These refer to Jews from the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), the word coming from Sepharad, a place mentioned in the book of Obadiah whose location is lost to history.
