    Newcastle Village and District Historical Society Newsletter Spring 2017 - Issue # 127 PRESIDENT’S REPORT e are beyond the middle of May, so let’s hope we will be blessed with more pleasant weather and higher tem- peratures ! On an unhappy note, we just received word from the Federal Government that our application for a grant has, W for the second year in a row, been denied. This, despite encouraging words from Federal bureaucrats, after the denial last year, that we should apply once again. Reasons for the denial are not provided so the whole thing remains a mystery – this in the face of a lot of work in preparing our applications with great precision and exhausting detail in each of the two years. The grant would have enabled your Society, working with Durham College, to electronically capture our records ( histori- cal letters, agreements, wills, photos, and so on ), then to make our data more readily available to scholars, students and the general public. We will, of course, soldier on and explore other options to fund this worthwhile project, including the possibility of finding corporate sponsors. And, while other Government grant opportunities will be looked at, we will attempt, as far as possi- ble, to seek some assurance that any other applications have a reasonable chance of success and not simply serve as a “make work” projects for bureaucrats. Our plans are moving ahead for HERITAGE DAY, an event created and hosted by your Society. It will be held in the main hall of the Newcastle Community Hall from 10AM until 3PM on June 25, 2017.

Examining Committee: Chair: Jeff Derksen Associate Professor Leith Davis Senior Supervisor Professor Carole Gerson Senior Supervisor Professor Michael Everton Supervisor Associate Professor Willeen Keough Internal Examiner Associate Professor Department of History Kenneth McNeil External Examiner Professor Department of English Eastern Connecticut State University Date Defended/Approved: May 16, 2013 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Abstract This dissertation examines nineteenth-century Scottish author John Galt’s dialogue with the political economics of his time. In particular, I argue that both in his practices as an author and through the subject matter of his North American texts, Galt critiques and adapts Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations (1776). Galt’s critique of Smith becomes evident when we examine the relationship between his engagement with political economy in his most important North American literary texts and his overt political interests, specifically those concerning transatlantic land development and colonial expansion, a project he pursued with the Canada Company. In Chapter One, I examine John Galt’s role with the Canada Company.

  • 1 Documentary and Archaeological Evidence
    DOCUMENTARY AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE RELATIVE TO THE FIRST HOMES OF THE ADAM YOUNG FAMILY ON THE YOUNG TRACT, SENECA TOWNSHIP, HALDIMAND COUNTY, ONTARIO, CANADA: 1783 TO CIRCA 1879 BACKGROUND As the War of the American Revolution (1776-1784) began to draw to a close, some of the older members of Butler’s Rangers were discharged. Each was given land across the River from Fort Niagara (in what became Newark, now Niagara on the Lake) in order to establish farms to supply the military garrison and the many dependants who had found shelter outside the walls of the Fort. One of these men was Adam Young. More details can be found by clicking here. Meanwhile, sons Sgt. Daniel Young and Pvt. Henry Young remained in active service with the Rangers until they were disbanded in 1784. Adam’s eldest son Lt. John Young was then serving as an officer with the Indian Department, and in 1783 (and perhaps earlier) he was assigned to over – winter with the Delawares, then settled on the Grand River, with the goal of keeping them steady in the King’s cause. A detailed biography of Lt. John Young can be found on the Young Family Website, managed by the present author, and seen by clicking here. One excerpt is particularly important and will be quoted here: Evidence that John Young was the first settler on the Grand River is found in a letter from Robert Hoyes to Frederick Haldimand 2 Nov. 1783 stating that, "A party of Rangers with an Indian as their guide march by land to the Grand Riviere.

  • Walker Et Al. and Attorney General for Ontario
    Walker et al. and Attorney General for Ontario [1970] O.J. No. 1634, [1971] 1 O.R. 151, 14 D.L.R. (3d) 643 Ontario Supreme Court - High Court of Justice August 20, 1970. [1] STARK, J.:— In these proceedings the applicants seek to have their titles quieted. The applicants’ chains of title have already been examined by the Referee of Titles at Toronto and the matter came before me to determine the one remaining and outstanding question involved, namely as to whether the ownership of the applicants’ lands includes the ownership of the beach down to the water’s edge. Their claim to ownership of the beaches is contested by Her Majesty the Queen in right of the Province of Ontario, the Crown claiming that the beach in question is Crown land. The proceedings were lengthy, embracing 17 days in which viva voce evidence was taken, followed by 10 days of argument by counsel. Numerous witnesses, both lay and expert, testified and 126 exhibits, some of them very voluminous, were received in evidence. Considerable evidence was received which, on later examination, has proven to be of slight value, but in view of the wide freedom given to the Judge in investigating the title under s. 8 of the Quieting Titles Act, R.S.O. 1960, c. 340, and in view of the importance of the matter to the parties concerned, I deemed it wise in numerous cases to accept evidence which normally would not be receivable in a Court of law. For purposes of convenience, I have placed titles upon various sections of this judgment.

  • Nindoodemag Bagijiganan: a History of Anishinaabeg Narrative Is a Project Interested in How
    NINDOODEMAG BAGIJIGANAN: A HISTORY OF ANISHINAABEG NARRATIVE by Niigonwedom James Sinclair A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Doctor of Philosophy in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2013 © Niigonwedom James Sinclair, 2013 ii Abstract Nindoodemag Bagijiganan: A History of Anishinaabeg Narrative is a project interested in how Anishinaabe narratives define Anishinaabeg culture and community. It argues that Anishinaabeg expressions are bagijiganan, offerings where unique relationships Anishinaabeg carry enact a dynamic sense of art, identity, and nationhood. Embodying an intellectual praxis called mino- bimaadiziwin (“the good life”) from the past to the present, Anishinaabeg narrative artists are defining the processes of Anishinaabeg culture. I argue that Anishinaabeg narrative bagijiganan are embedded in principles found in the Anishinaabeg Nindoodemag, the totemic system. Articulating the specific and interconnected ways circles of Anishinaabeg relationality operate, Anishinaabeg Nindoodemag is formed through two concepts, enawendiwin (strands connecting all parts of creation) and waawiyeyaag (interwoven systems of circularity). These come together to construct nindinawemaganidog (all of my relations), a law found in traditional expressions like treaties, birchbark, and beadwork and contemporary forms like poetry, paintings, and novels. Anishinaabeg narrative bagijiganan exemplify how Anishinaabeg relationships grow while continuing an inclusive sense of nationhood through the Nindoodemag. In two opening sections, “First Thought” and “First Word,” I overview Anishinaabeg Creation narratives, tracing how Anishinaabeg conceive of the universe as constituted by language and how narrative bagijiganan gesture towards mino-bimaadiziwin. In “Bezhig,” I argue that Anishinaabeg Nindoodemag is the manifestation of this process and Anishinaabeg narratives adopt one (and often more) parts of the totemic system to enact and embody this praxis of relationship making.
