    fall 2003 Migration of ruby-throated hummingbirds in new england Sharon Stichter Editor’s Note. This article is a revised and expanded version of a report that first appeared on the New England Hummers website on 10/27/03. For a fuller description of the project, please see the website at <http://www.nehummers.com>. At the site you can also sign up to be a Site Monitor for 2004. ruby-throated hummingbirds are common nesters in new england, but each year these diminutive birds travel to Mexico and central america to spend the winter. how late do they stay in new england in the fall? have the “last observed” dates been getting later in recent years? do the birds depart “all at once,” or are there ebbs and flows of migration? are there observable changes that can indicate the beginning of hummingbird migration? over the 2003 season the new england hummers research project collected data on these questions as part of a study of the migration, distribution, and population fluctuations of Archilochus colubris in our region. this report is based on three sources of information: 1) data from our site Monitors; 2) reports from the many other observers who took the time to report their sightings to new england hummers or to the state listserves Massbird, nh.birds, rI birds, and Maine-birds; and 3) the reports from hawkcount.org from two Massachusetts hawkwatch sites. our research utilizes citizen observation as its primary source of data. we now have about 50 site Monitors scattered across new england, mostly in Massachusetts and new hampshire, who keep watch on their hummingbird feeders throughout the season and report specified observations.

Would that be true, even if these laws had been enacted by tyrants?” “What of the many deadly, the many pestilential statutes which nations put in force? Tese no more deserve to be called laws than the rules a band of robbers might pass in their assembly. For if ignorant and unskillful men have prescribed deadly poisons instead of healing drugs, these cannot possibly be called physicians’ prescriptions; neither in a nation can a statute of any sort be called a law, even though the nation, in spite of being a ruinous regulation, has accepted it.” —Cicero Foreword by Connor Boyack Americans know Henry David Thoreau as the author of Walden, a narrative published in 1854 detailing the author’s life at Walden Pond, on property owned by his friend Ralph Waldo Emerson near Concord, Massachusetts.

  • Louisa May Alcott's Wild Indians: Pedagogy of Love, Politics of Empire
    Louisa May Alcott’s Wild Indians: Pedagogy of Love, Politics of Empire Steve Benton East Central University Though long dismissed by many literary critics as sentimental juvenile literature, Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women series has over the past few decades enjoyed a critical renaissance. The first installment of Alcott’s multi-volume account of Jo March and her sisters was published in 1868. It was a best-seller then, and when I checked Amazon.com’s list of best-selling 19th century novels during the first week of November 2011, it was in the number one position. In 1978, Nina Auerbach helped Little Women gain a stronger hold in college curricula by calling attention to the radical nature of Alcott’s suggestion that the “world of the March girls” was “rich enough to complete itself” (55). Thirteen years later, Elaine Showalter, described Jo as “the most influential figure of the independent and creative American woman” (42). Since then, many feminist scholars have ratified the status of Alcott’s work in academic journals. I am happy to see popular novels like those in the Little Women series finding their way onto the critical radar because they offer so much insight into the values embraced by their readers. Little Women provides a rich, complex terrain for discussion about gender discourse in the 19th century. In this essay, I will discuss the relationship between that discourse and territorial expansion policies of the United States during the years following the Civil War, policies that would eventually push many Native American nations to the brink of extermination.

This project led to an investigation into her life and times and a literary pilgrimage to her former home in Concord, Massachusetts, both of which will be discussed in this report. The Place of Louisa May Alcott in American Literature Louisa May Alcott lived for much of her life in Concord, Massachusetts, where her father, Bronson Alcott, was active as one of the leaders of the nineteenth century Transcendentalist movement.
