The War of 1812 Student Support Adventure 8: Peace and Pirates Your student will: • Review the role Andrew Jackson played in the War of 1812. • Explain the connection between privateers and the War of 1812. Use the steps below to support your student during this lesson 1. Watch the Introduction video 2. Watch the Read-Aloud video 3. Watch the Word Discovery video 4. Complete the Explorer Activity Give your student Explorer Page 8. Read the directions aloud to your student. Allow them to work independently to list the facts and write a summary sentence. Rewatch the video, if necessary. 5. Read-Aloud Chat After watching the Read-Aloud video, have a discussion with your student using these questions: • What role did Andrew Jackson play in the War of 1812? (He was the U.S. general who defeated the British in the Battle of New Orleans.) • How were pirates and privateers the same? (Answers may vary, but should include that they were sailors on private ships who stole cargo.) • Why was it difficult for the United States to get supplies during the War of 1812? (because the British had blockaded many of their ports.) • What skills did Jean and Pierre Lafitte have that made them successful pirates? (Jean was an excellent sailor and navigator; Pierre was an excellent smuggler. Jean and Pierre knew their way through the jungle-like swamplands around New Orleans, and the British did not.) • What did General Jackson offer to do if Jean and Pierre agreed to help him to defeat the British? (General Jackson offered to pardon them of their crimes if they would agree to help him to defeat the British.) 6. Further Adventures • Have your student imagine being one of the privateers during the War of 1812. Have them write a journal entry describing what happened when they encountered a British ship off the coast of New Orleans. Encourage them to use descriptive words and to describe their feelings about the adventure. • Have your student create their own “pirate” map using a current map of the Mississippi Delta area near New Orleans as a reference. Have them label important places, land and water features, and decorate it in “pirate” style. Is there a spot marked for buried treasure? • Have your student create a treasure hunt for you or others in your home. Have them gather several small pieces of paper, a pencil or marker, and one small “treasure” to hide. They will then choose several secret places to hide pirate messages throughout the home. Each message should provide a hint as to where the next message can be found, ultimately leading to the treasure. .

Ye Intruders Beware: Fantastical Pirates in the Golden Age of Illustration
YE INTRUDERS BEWARE: FANTASTICAL PIRATES IN THE GOLDEN AGE OF ILLUSTRATION Anne M. Loechle Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of the History of Art Indiana University November 2010 Accepted by the Graduate Faculty, Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Doctoral Committee _________________________________ Chairperson, Sarah Burns, Ph.D. __________________________________ Janet Kennedy, Ph.D. __________________________________ Patrick McNaughton, Ph.D. __________________________________ Beverly Stoeltje, Ph.D. November 9, 2010 ii ©2010 Anne M. Loechle ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii Acknowledgments I am indebted to many people for the help and encouragement they have given me during the long duration of this project. From academic and financial to editorial and emotional, I was never lacking in support. I am truly thankful, not to mention lucky. Sarah Burns, my advisor and mentor, supported my ideas, cheered my successes, and patiently edited and helped me to revise my failures. I also owe her thanks for encouraging me to pursue an unorthodox topic. From the moment pirates came up during one of our meetings in the spring of 2005, I was hooked. She knew it, and she continuously suggested ways to expand the idea first into an independent study, and then into this dissertation. My dissertation committee – Janet Kennedy, Patrick McNaughton, and Beverly Stoeltje – likewise deserves my thanks for their mentoring and enthusiasm. Other scholars have graciously shared with me their knowledge and input along the way. David M. Lubin read a version of my third chapter and gave me helpful advice, opening up to me new ways of thinking about Howard Pyle in particular.

Island Empire: the Influence of the Maceo Family in Galveston
ISLAND EMPIRE: THE INFLUENCE OF THE MACEO FAMILY IN GALVESTON Tabitha Nicole Boatman, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2014 APPROVED: Scott Belshaw, Committee Chair Chad Trulson, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Committee Member Eric Fritsch, Chair of the Department of Criminal Justice Thomas Evenson, Dean of the College of Public Affairs and Community Service Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Boatman, Tabitha Nicole. Island Empire: The Influence of the Maceo Family in Galveston. Master of Science (Criminal Justice), August 2014, 127 pp., bibliography, 80 titles. From the 1920s until the 1950s, brothers, Sam and Rosario Maceo, ran an influential crime family in Galveston, Texas. The brothers’ success was largely due to Galveston’s transient population, the turbulent history of the island, and the resulting economic decline experienced at the turn of the 20th century. Their success began during Prohibition, when they opened their first club. The establishment offered bootlegged liquor, fine dining, and first class entertainment. After Prohibition, the brothers continued to build an empire on the island through similar clubs, without much opposition from the locals. However, after being suspected of involvement in a drug smuggling ring, the Maceos were placed under scrutiny from outside law enforcement agencies. Through persistent investigations, the Texas Rangers finally shut down the rackets in Galveston in 1957. Despite their influence through the first half of the 20th century, on the island and off the island, their story is largely missing from the current literature. Copyright 2014 by Tabitha Nicole Boatman ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deepest appreciation to my thesis committee members, particularly Dr.

B ASQUE CLASSICS SERIES This collection seeks to provide in English translation key texts and authors in the cultural development of the Basque Country. It will The Basques encompass anonymous works authored by the “community” to the BASQUE CLASSICS texts of Modern Age polemicists authored in the defense of Euskara SE RIES (the Basque language) and Basque political institutions. The Basque Classics Series will also publish anthologies and books of key near by Jacques Allières contemporary scholars of outstanding and enduring worth who have 11 made original and serious contributions to our understanding of Basque history, linguistics, and culture. With an Introduction by BEÑAT OYHARÇABAL Many modern French speakers have come to know about the Basques through Jacques Allières’s concise, reliable book, which we now publish in English for the first time. Published in the 1970s, before the post-Franco Spanish constitution and the creation of the autonomous communities on the South side of the border and written from the perspective of the north, The Basques this book provides and invaluable snapshot of a time and place in Basque history. The book is part of the Presses Universitaires de France’s well- known collection Que sais-je? (What do I know about?), one of which is Allières’s The Basques, about the Basque Country and its inhabitants. A linguist, Allières has much to say about the language, but he is well versed on many other subjects. Prehistory, history, geography, economy, and much more are presented in this slender little volume. As Allières states in his introduction, offering information about the Basques in such a limited format is almost impossible.
