In the course of occasional visits to Canada many years since, I became intimately acquainted with some of the principal partners of the great North- West Fur Company, who at that time lived in genial style at Montreal, and kept almost open house for the stranger. At their hospitable boards I occasion- ally met with partners, and clerks, and hardy fur traders from the interior posts ; men who had passed years remote from civilized society, among distant and savage tribes, and who had wonders to recount of their wide and wild peregrinations, their hunting exploits, and their perilous adventures and hair- breadth escapes among the Indians. I was at an age when the imagination lends its colouring to every thing, and the stories of these Sinbads of the wilderness made the life of a trapper and fur trader perfect romance to me. I even meditated at one time a visit to the remote posts of the company in the boats which annually ascended the lakes and rivers, being thereto invited by one of the partners and I have ever since regretted that I was prevented by circumstances from carrying my intention into effect.

It is the outgrowth of a short article for the " Atlantic Monthly " to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the vessel's launch. She has so long been a favorite topic for stoiytellers and writers that nothing new remains to be told. It is rather a case for recall- ing much that has been forgotten. As the forma- tion and service of the sailing navy supply the background which brings our ship into stronger perspective, all the circumstances which had an in- fluence upon her design, construction, and employ- ment are given. WhUe, therefore, in no sense a history of the Navy, it forms* a reasonably con- nected narrative of naval events, and particularly of our good old frigate.

    Kanaka World Travelers and Fur Company Employees, 1785-1860 Janice K. Duncan Chinese, Japanese, and Negroes were not the only minority racial groups represented in the early history of Oregon Country (which included Oregon, Washington, parts of Idaho and Montana). Before approximately i860 many foreigners in the area were Hawaiian Islanders, called Sandwich Islanders, Owhyees and, most frequently, Kanakas. Hawaii was discovered in 1778 by Captain James Cook, who named the islands after his patron, the Earl of Sandwich. Within less than a decade after Cook's discovery the Islands had become a regular stop for merchant and whaling vessels needing fresh water and provisions, and many crew members remained in the newly discovered paradise.1 Cook's discovery also brought the natives of Hawaii a new outlet for their curiosity and for their excellent abilities on the sea. The ships that stopped in the Islands often were looking for additions to their crews, either as seamen or as personal servants for the officers or for the wives of merchant captains who often accompanied their husbands.2 In May 1787, the British ship Imperial Eagle took aboard an Hawaiian woman, to be the personal servant of the captain's wife, and she became the first recorded Islander to leave her homeland.3 In China the captain's wife decided to travel on to Europe, and Winee was left behind to return to the Islands. She found passage on the Nootka, then in the China Sea, and met an Hawaiian chief, Kaiona (Tianna), who had agreed to accom- pany John Meares aboard the Nootka when it left the Islands in August 1787.* There were two other Kanakas who boarded the Nootka with Winee.

Reviewed by Greg Rogers (University of Maine) Published on H-War (July, 2013) Commissioned by Margaret Sankey The last decade has witnessed a renewed interest in the history of the United States’ conflict with the Barbary pirate states of North Africa.[1] In addition to the bicentennial of the First Barbary War (1801-1805), the events of September 11, the subsequent War on Terror, and the spate of pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia have served to turn the attention of historians and the reading public alike to early nineteenth-century struggles that went understudied for the past half century or so. The result has been the publication of works interested in a variety of topics and themes, ranging from parallels to the twenty-first century War on Terror to the role of American diplomacy and capitalism. Similarly, the authors of this body of literature have targeted academics, military history buffs, general audiences, and everybody in between. Chipp Reid’s 2012 Intrepid Sailors offers a narrative where the “great deeds” of “great men” had very real effects on not only the institutional development of the United States Navy but also the international standing of the new Republic a generation after its birth (p. ix).

    “The Fewer the Men, the Greater the Honor”: the Naval Doctrine of Republicanism in the First Barbary War

    “THE FEWER THE MEN, THE GREATER THE HONOR”: THE NAVAL DOCTRINE OF REPUBLICANISM IN THE FIRST BARBARY WAR by PARKER BLAKE BEDNASEK Submitted to the Department of History of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for departmental honors Approved by: _________________________ Name Dr. Marie Brown _________________________ Name CDR. Joseph Cooper _________________________ Name Dr. Sheyda Jahanbani _________________________ Date Defended Abstract The First Barbary War was a naval conflict fought between the United States and Tripoli from 1801-1805 over the payment of “tribute” to Tripoli so they would not seize American merchant ships. The Jefferson Administration believed that the war would not take more than a few months but it ended up lasting a desultory four years. There were two main theoretical concepts that impacted the war – the idea of the proper role and size of a republican military power and the internal struggle of the U.S. Navy for professionalism and leadership. These two concepts influenced the development of the naval doctrine of republicanism for the U.S. Navy which can be characterized by limited size, firm, yet humane leadership, and aggressiveness toward the enemy. This doctrine is best exemplified by Commodore Edward Preble’s who had a great impact on the young naval officers who fought under him and who would come to lead the U.S. Navy for years afterwards. 1 Introduction Our exasperating experiences with the Barbary States of northern Africa, continuing for a generation after the United States had won its independence, constitute an interesting chapter of American history and one from which we may derive permanently valuable lessons.
