And When the waste mold that encloses my personality Shall have been broken , I ask no greater honor than to have my brother sculptors meet here , and say a kind word in my memory . These words were spoken by John Quincy Adams Ward at r the end of an address in memo y of the young sculptor , : Lopez . They were indeed words of farewell not long after ’ ward , the waste mold , to use Ward s own figure , touchingly significant to men of his own craft , was indeed broken ; and the kind word he has asked of us is but a matter of truth and j ustice , in rendering tribute to a personality that will long outlast its shattered mold . A certain wistful charm , as of imagined things that might have been , envelops the story of creators like Raphael K and eats , cut off in the summer of their hope . Such men seem but as messengers of themselves ; we love them for their beautiful promise , as well as for the fair things they have had time to do before they were hurried away ; and we for or get , cast aside as too gross , our harsh proverb concerning - the fruit soon ripe . Those whom the gods love ah , what exquisite harmonies must remain . forever undis covered , because such men die young ! But no nimbus of incompleteness lingers around the achievement of Ward ; the unusual and happy conj unction of early bud and constant good fruit was granted to his J O H N Q U I N C Y A D A M S W A R D genius . In him , age performed the promise of youth ; more than half a century of mastery was his . That bronze figure of the Indian Hunter , for which he made the first studies in 1 85 7 1 864 , and which was finished in its present form in , ’ and four years later placed in New York s Central Park , bears no trace either of the arrogance or the timidity of the 1 9 1 1 apprentice ; and his last work , unveiled in , the eques ’ trian statue of General Hancock , for Philadelphia s Fair mount Park , Shows the strong mind and sure hand that ’ Shaped Ward s message at its best . In American art , he is at once ancestor and descendant a precursor , yet a mod ern instance . Even in his later years , he is almost as much “ the typical young man for war , as the old man for counsel . Times changed , and he , for a longer moment than is given - to most men , changed with them ; always , with that extra ’ of ordinary mind s eye his , scanning the horizon for each - new art problem , whether borne on the tide of general prog - ress , or tossed rocket like into his consciousness by some “ .

  • Order of Exercises from the Pilgrim Statue Dedication – June 6, 1885
    FROM THE ARCHIVES: ORDER OF EXERCISES FROM THE PILGRIM STATUE DEDICATION – JUNE 6, 1885 Since its founding in 1806, the New England Society has made many cultural contributions both in New York and in New England. The most recognizable locally is the statue of The Pilgrim located near the East 72nd Street entrance to Central Park. In 1884, the New England Society commissioned prominent 19th century American sculptor John Quincy Adams Ward to create a statue in memory of the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock. The Pilgrim is a bronze sculpture and features the classical figure of a sturdy Pilgrim holding his trusted flintlock musket in his right hand, standing atop a granite pedestal designed by Richard Morris Hunt. John Quincy Adams Ward (1830-1910), known as the “Dean of American Sculptors”, was a major contributor to the public spaces in New York. Ward’s sculptures include the George Washington statue on the steps of Federal Hall in lower Manhattan, the marble pediment sculptures for the New York Stock Exchange, and of course, The Pilgrim. The Pilgrim, situated at the foot of the eponymous Pilgrim Hill, is one of several well- known sculptures by Ward standing in Central Park, including Indian Hunter (1864), Seventh Regiment Memorial (1869) and William Shakespeare (1872). Indian Hunter was the first sculpture in Central Park by an American artist and is one of the oldest outdoor displays in the Park. The statue’s pedestal was designed by Ward’s good friend and frequent collaborator, Richard Morris Hunt (1827-1895). Hunt, one of New York’s leading 19th century architects, designed many City landmarks such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty as well as many Fifth Avenue mansions.

  • American Sculpture: Revolution to Rebellion
    American Sculpture: Revolution to Rebellion Alice Levi Duncan In 1976, as a celebration of the Bicentenary of the United States, the Whitney Museum of American Art presented an exhibition entitled Two Hundred Years of American Sculpture. The exhibition and accompanying catalogue focused on the origins and history of American sculpture from the political Revolution of 1776 to the artistic one of the late 20th century. The study incorporated the influences of native aboriginal art and folk art traditions on the devel- opment of an American art, while emphasizing the impor- tance of both academic and modern artistic activity originating in Europe. The exhibition and catalogue created new academic as well as collecting interest in this area of American art. It would be ludicrous to separate this branch of fine arts from “foreign influence” and then attempt to explain the quantity and quality of sculpture produced in the United States as an inevitable response to America’s growth. The extraordinary creativity and production of sculpture by American artists can only be appreciated once its depend- ence on European roots has been “forgiven”. The reliance on Europe for artistic training, technical support and critical approval did not diminish until after the Civil War. However the body of work produced from 1840-1940 is important as part of an international artistic movement and should not be considered a distant relation. The sculpture produced by American sculptors during that period was as accomplished artistically and technically as those from Europe, albeit the majority was primarily mainstream and not innovative in style or method. Yet this body of work, made by artists constantly seeking an American idiom, predicts the extraordinary artistic develop- ments that followed in the second half of the 20th Century, 1 which turned the international spotlight to one centered on Figure 1.

ULPIUS TERRESTRIAL GLOBE This globe of the world is both beautiful and historical. It’s made of copper, and we know the maker’s name... Euphrosynus Ulpius. And we know he made it in Rome in 1542. The maps and names on it are based on the explorations of Giovanni da Verrazzano, the first European known to have sailed into New York harbor. That was in 1524, only 18 years before Ulpius made this globe The globe is important to us because it’s the first to show where New York City could be found. Of course, the name New York is not on the globe. But if you look closely you can find where it would be. The names on the globe are in Latin and Italian, but you should be able to find the peninsula of Florida.

  • Pond Carousel
    Pond The southeast corner of Central Park was from its inception, and continues to be today, the most heavily used Park entrance. Fully half of all Park visitors enter by way of Grand Army Plaza. In the 19th century it was the first destination of a carriage ride north from the growing city to the Park. Olmsted and Vaux, who designed Central Park in 1858, intended the Pond landscape to welcome visitors and offer an instant haven from the city, which it continues to do to this day. The placid shores of The Pond offer visitors to Central Park an instant haven from the City. The comma-shaped Pond is situated below street level, which has the effect of muting the urban cacophony and creating a surprising calm. The gracefully-shaped Gapstow Bridge arches over the northeast end of the Pond, framing the picturesque scene. This is the second bridge of the same name on this site. The original, whose design is attributed to Jacob Wrey Mould, was built in 1874. One of the most unusual bridges in the Park, it was made of stone abutments, with cast-iron filigree and two semi-circular wooden arches. The wooden arches and flooring deteriorated, and the bridge was replaced in 1896 by the present simple stone structure made from unadorned Manhattan schist (the local bedrock). The nearby Cop Cot (Scottish for little house on the crest of the hill) — the Park's largest rustic wood structure — is perched on a large rock outcrop at the Sixth Avenue entrance, providing a splendid view of the Pond below.

  • Anishinaabe Warriors, Soldiers, and Veterans from Pontiac's War
    “Both the Honor and the Profit”: Anishinaabe Warriors, Soldiers, and Veterans from Pontiac’s War through the Civil War by Michelle K. Cassidy A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Professor Gregory Evans Dowd, Co-Chair Associate Professor Michael Witgen, Co-Chair Professor Susan Juster Associate Professor Scott Richard Lyons Professor Tiya Miles © Michelle K. Cassidy 2016 Acknowledgements During my last year in graduate school, I went on a “final” research trip to Anishinaabe places in western Michigan. I started in Hart and worked my way up to Petoskey, stopping at various county seats to look at government records and land deeds. On my first day, while I was doing research at the County Clerk’s office in Hart, a man wearing a veteran’s ball cap walked in and requested information about several individuals whose last names—associated with Euro- Odawa fur trading families—caught my attention. As he waited for the vital records, he asked why I was sitting in a corner with giant books and we began talking. He knew about the Odawaag in Company K that I was researching and he said he was a descendent of a Company K soldier. We talked about the Odawa soldiers but our conversation quickly turned to contemporary Odawa politics. This dissertation is comprised of many such conversations—both fortuitous and planned—and the encouragement and generosity of many. I would not have written a dissertation on indigenous peoples if I had not taken Michael Witgen’s American Indian history class as an undergraduate.

What Right has Onontio [the Governor of French Canada] to our Lands? I desire you may go home directly off our Lands." -The Seneca sachem Tanaghrisson, 1751 Logstown Conference While I was growing up in central Pennsylvania my Mother told me stories of the Indians who once inhabited the area, and of the fabled "Tulpehocken Trail," which she said ran just south of where we lived. This important trail, often used by the Indian interpreter Conrad Weiser and his Iroquois friend Shikellamy; connected my home town of Sunbury, Pennsylvania with the colonial capital of Philadelphia. When I was in my early teens I discovered a portion of the trail when climbing nearby Kershner's Hill, and on it a pristine piece of wampum apparently dropped by some Indian traveler over two hundred years before. My father had also excited my curiosity by taking me to search for arrowheads on the cornfields of Packer's Island on the Susquehanna River, which had been part of the Delaware Indian village of Shamokin.
