2020 Annual Report About the Cover 2020 Annual Report About the Cover A beautiful stand of Eastern White Pine grows in the woodlands at Sanborn Mills Farm in Loudon, N.H. The historic Farm – it was founded in the 18th century and for much of the 19th century was an import- ant commercial center for Loudon – has been a member of the New Hampshire Timberland Owners Association (NHTOA) for many years. Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus) is one of the most important commercial, environmental, and histori- cal tree species in New Hampshire, though its range goes far beyond New England, from Newfoundland in the north to Minnesota in the Midwest to northern George further south. The tree also grows in England, where it is called Weymouth Pine, after George Weymouth of the British Royal Navy, who brought seeds from Maine to the United Kingdom in 1605. In North America, Eastern White Pine is the tallest species of tree growing east of the Mississippi River, with exceptionally tall specimens reaching heights of more than 180 feet. Henry David Thoreau said of the species, “There is no finer tree.” In a 1861 volume titled “A History of the Lumber and Forest Industry in the Northwest,” George Wood- ward Hotchkiss write a description of the attributes of Eastern White Pine that still holds true: “Being of a soft texture and easily worked, taking paint better than almost any other variety of wood, it has been found adaptable to all the uses demanded in the building art, from the manufacture of packing cases to the bearing timber and finer finish of a dwelling. Of light weight, it has borne transportation to the farms of the west, where it is used for building purposes in dwellings, barns and corn cribs, while as a fencing material it has no superior. Aside from those conditions which demand a dense strong timber, such as ship-building or in wagon-making, White Pine has been found adaptable to all the economic uses in which lumber is required, not excluding its use in coarser articles of furniture. No wood has found greater favor or entered more fully into supplying all those wants of man which could be found in the forest growths.” In the 17th and 18th centuries, agents of the British Royal Navy, working on behalf of the Crown, marked certain tall, straight Eastern White Pines as “mast trees,” designated for use by the Navy. These trees were marked by ax with a broad arrow, and cutting one of these trees was a crime. Portsmouth, N.H., was the hub of shipping of these mast trees, and up until the Revolution about 4,500 mast trees were shipped to England out of Portsmouth’s harbor. But the Crown’s control of these large trees was controversial for the colonists, and in 1734 mast tree agents representing the Crown were assaulted and beaten in Exeter, N.H., in what came to be called the “Mast Tree Riot.” Later, in 1772, the sheriff of Hillsborough County in N.H. traveled to the town of Weare to arrest some sawmill operators there who had several large Eastern White Pines in their possession. The sheriffwas attacked and beaten by a mob, and this event became known as the Pine Tree Riot. The two riots were symptomaticof the growing unhappiness among colonists with England’s rule, and thus were significant events in the build up to the Revolution.

    BRAVE BIRDS By: PDSA - the UK’s leading veterinary charity. Additional text and photos courtesy of Australian War Memorial and UK Flightglobal Archive. The most famous and the oldest of the charity’s awards is the PDSA Dickin Medal. It acknowledges outstanding acts of bravery displayed by animals serving with the Armed Forces or Civil Defence units in any theatre of war, worldwide. The Medal is recognised as the animals’ Victoria Cross and is the highest British honour for animal bravery in military conflicts. The medal was instituted in 1943 Maria Dickin. Maria Dickin CBE PDSA owes its foundation to the vision of one woman - Maria Elisabeth Dickin - and her determination to raise the status of animals, and the standard of their care, in society. During the First World War, Maria Dickin CBE worked to improve the dreadful state of animal health in the Whitechapel area of London. She wanted to open a clinic where East Enders living in poverty could receive free treatment for their sick and injured animals. Left: Despite the scepticism of the Establishment, Maria Dickin opened her free 'dispensary' in a Whitechapel basement on Saturday 17th November 1917. It was an immediate success and she was soon forced to find larger premises. Photo PDSA. Within six years this extraordinary woman had designed and equipped her first horse-drawn clinic and soon a fleet of mobile dispensaries was established. PDSA vehicles soon became a comforting and familiar sight throughout the country. With success came increased attention from her critics at the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and the Ministry of Agrigulture.

As the term “practice” suggests, the series springs from a pressing need in the study of American Catholicism for empirical investigations and creative explorations and analyses of the contours of Catholic experience. In seeking to provide more comprehensive maps of Catholic practice, this series is committed to publishing works from diverse American locales, including urban, suburban, and rural settings; ethnic, postethnic, and transnational contexts; private and public sites; and seats of power as well as the margins.

By consecrating their lives to God in a society that deemed all black people immoral, black Catholic sisters provided a powerful refutation to the racist stereotypes used by white supremacists and paternalists to exclude African Americans from the ranks of religious life and full citizenship rights. By dedicating their labors to the educational and social uplift of the largely neglected black community, black sisters challenged the Church and the nation to live up to the full promises of democracy and Catholicism. Yet, their lives and labors remain largely invisible in the annals of American and religious history. This is especially true of their efforts in the twentieth century, when black sisters pried opened the doors of Catholic higher education, desegregated several historically white congregations, and helped to launch the greatest black Catholic revolt in American history. This dissertation unearths the hidden history of black Catholic sisters in the fight for racial and educational justice in the twentieth century.
