CONTRIBUTOR Peter Mancall Divisional Dean for the Humanities, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities and Linda and Harlan Martens Director of the Early Modern Studies Institute “He’s eaten a toad and a half for breakfast,” is one of no less than 228 popular — and often colorful — descriptions of drunkenness used by colo- nialists in 18th-century North America. “This is a sign of just how common excessive drinking was in North America during this period,” Peter Mancall, told a German television crew. The professor of history and anthropology was being interviewed for Terra X, a weekly series on Germany’s biggest public broadcast chan- nel, ZDF. The program attracts some 5 million viewers. Mancall was answering questions on the impact of alcohol trade on native cultures in North America — a field in which he has long been a leading expert. Comparing Native Americans’ radically different relation- ship with alcohol to that of European settlers, Mancall concluded that it is an ines- capable fact that alcohol was an agent of empire building in North America, harming Native American communi- ties and leading to accidents, violence and even murder. “No one can claim the Europeans were unaware of what was happening,” he said, “but the forces of colonialism overpowered the indigenous voices of protest.” 2 MANCALL PORTRAIT BY PETER ZHAOYU ZHOU INTERVIEW PHOTO BY MIKE GLIER SPRING / SUMMER 2018 A Mind for Travel 2 From the Dean Travel is education.

  • Howard Dudgeon: “One of the Medal of Honor Winners Lived in Waco, Texas, Robert Lewis Howard
    Regarding the Vietnam Memorial Wall: (A Vietnam veteran came up with the idea for the memorial; The wall was designed by a college student; It took less than eight months to build the memorial; The wall is made of black granite from Bangalore, India; No federal funds were needed to create the memorial.) David Walsworth: “Sobering reminder. God bless America and those who have served and are serving.” Howard Dudgeon: “One of the Medal of Honor winners lived in Waco, Texas, Robert Lewis Howard. He died December 23, 2009.” Larry Thomas: “Thanks for sharing “ Clara Sue Griffis Arnsdorff: That was really interesting---sure hit home with me---we can't forget. As a military wife I remember many who didn’t return from that conflict. When we lived in Calif my husband flew transport planes into RVN and often returned with coffins loaded in the plane. We left Calif for Hawaii where his squadron flew 24 hour command post support and frequently flew to RVN to pick up General Westmoreland for a conference on Oahu. Those were early stages of the war. In 1972 he went unaccompanied to Taiwan. They flew cargo into RVN and dropped paratroopers and supplies. I often wonder how many of those boys are listed on that wall. I was in Waco during that time, and every time a C130 was shot down I waited for a notification. Fortunately none came. Lots of bullets had to be removed from those transports. I know many other WHS grads have stories of these turbulent times, and most are more relevant than mine.

Many of us were already acquainted from previous Zegrahm trips, and Expedition Leader Nadia Eckhardt soon began introductions and a briefing. The next morning, our flight path followed the fragile low-lying chain of the Florida Keys before making the 90-mile crossing to land in Havana. Staff beckoned us to our buses, where local guides Abel Valdes and David Camps greeted us warmly. Once underway, they showed themselves to be both personable and knowledgeable, as well as forthcoming about their own histories and opinions, and the realities, dilemmas, and challenges that face Cuba. We stopped for a photo-op at the Plaza de la Revolucion, once the open- air gathering place for tens of thousands of Fidel Castro’s supporters held captivated by his masterful oratory. But our group, the majority of whom were Americans “of a certain age,” were spellbound instead by a gleaming array of 1950’s Detroit cars lined up adjacent to our parked buses. In Old Havana, Sloppy Joe’s supplied us with the first of many “welcome mojitos” and hearty lunches, before we crossed the street to a fleet of gorgeous convertibles drawn up to the curb ready to whisk us on a tour.
