He was a giant among men, physically and spiritually, believed to have stood at least seven feet in height. A powerful medicine man and chieftain of the Penacook tribe, Passaconeway was elected bashaba (emperor) of a confederation of tribes united to stem an aggressive Mohawk nation. In his twilight years this great man traveled in the Maine-New Hampshire-Massachusetts region where he was revered as the mouthpiece of the Great Spirit by both Native and European folk alike. Tradition stays that Passaconeway was a genius, gifted with magical or divine powers employed in his peacemaking efforts. His true power, however, lay in his ability to kindle the fire of peace and brotherly love in the hearts of all irrespective of race or tribal restrictions. -

ByV I a y of Introduction WHILE I w as living in the home of that sturdy Puritan governor, William Leete, — my native town of Guil ford, — the idea suggested itself to me that inasmuch as a collection of the biographies of the chief executives of Connecticut had never been made, the work would afford an interesting and agreeable undertaking. This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy. -

A COMPARISON OF SHOVEL TESTING AND SURFACE COLLECTION AS ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE DISCOVERY METHODS: A CASE STUDY USING MISSISSIPPIAN FARMSTEADS A Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology The University of Mississippi By CAMERON SMITH HOWELL May 2016 Copyright Cameron Smith Howell 2016 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Shovel testing and controlled surface collection are common methods of archaeological site investigation that are generally approved by state and federal agencies as well as the academic community for cultural resource management projects and research. While both techniques are equally utilized, little research has been conducted on how equivalent these techniques are in terms of their efficacy for finding site. This thesis seeks to find a way to compare these techniques by creating Mathematical Models to describe how well the methods behave when tested on known datasets generated from Mississippian period farmsteads. -

Female Journey Experiences Into Ohio, 1790-1820. Honors Research
Female Journey Experiences into Ohio, 1790-1820. Honors Research Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with Honors Distinction in History in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Megan Cromwell The Ohio State University April 2014 Project Advisor: Associate Professor Lucy Murphy, Department of History 1 Introduction. How did female journey experiences into Ohio differ from males between 1790 and 1820 and why were their experiences important? Women and men’s travel narratives of their journey into Ohio recorded different activities, due to differing opportunities for economic and social success within society. Accepted societal roles, educational, economic, and social opportunities, differed between women and men and as such changed their travel constraints, common inn behavior, and evaluations of travel companions and passing communities. The foundation for Ohio life was built not only through male experiences; but through the interactions of women, men, and children of many cultures.1 Early women’s journeys to the land which became Ohio and their written accounts which describe their lives and expectations for future life have not been fully analyzed. Women’s experiences and expectations for travel from 1790 through 1820 into the Northwest Territory differed from males’ in significant ways. Expectations, both for and by women, shaped female journeys through acceptable societal limitations, successes, and guided judgments of the people and communities which created main differing experiences and effects from male journeys. Of all the female accounts of early Ohio, two of the lengthiest are written by Margaret Van Horn Dwight and Emily Nash.2 These women’s accounts give insight into female expectations and experiences into Ohio and can be sharply contrasted with other male accounts of 1 Hurt, Douglas. -
The Supreme Court and Superman
THE SUPREME COURT AND SUPERMAN THE JUSTICES AND THE FAMOUS PEOPLE IN THEIR FAMILY TREES Stephen R. McAllister† HILE EXAMINING a photograph of the 1911 U.S. Supreme Court, I spotted Joseph Rucker Lamar, but was initially confused because I thought Justice Lamar served on the Court in the nineteenth century. I quickly discovered that Joseph was the cousin (distant, it turns out) of an earlier Justice, Lu- W 1 cius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar II. I was aware of two other family rela- tionships between Justices who served on the Court: John Marshall Harlan and his grandson, John Marshall Harlan II, and Stephen Johnson Field and his nephew, David Josiah Brewer,2 with the service of only Field and Brewer overlapping.3 † Stephen McAllister is United States Attorney for the District of Kansas, and on leave of absence from the University of Kansas where he is the E.S. & Tom W. Hampton Distinguished Professor of Law. 1 His namesake presumably is Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, the Roman farmer-statesman who legend holds was appointed dictator and left his farm in 458 B.C. to defend Rome against an attacking army, quickly defeated the enemy, and then immediately gave up his power and returned to his farm. 2 The Kansas Justice, David Josiah Brewer, 19 Green Bag 2d 37 (2015). 3 A particularly observant reader of the chart that accompanies this article, or a knowl- edgeable student of Supreme Court history, might wonder whether some other Justices 21 GREEN BAG 2D 219 Stephen R.

Moses Dr. William S. Bryans Dr. Michael M. Smith Dr. F. Kent Reilly, III Dr. Stephen M. Perkins ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is true that nothing in this world is done alone. I would like to thank my family and friends for all their love and support. My grandparents, parents, sister, cousin, aunts and uncles. They were the foundation of everything that has shaped my life and allowed me the strength to complete this while working full-time. And, to my fiancée Kimberly. I mention her separately, not because she is not included above, but because she is the one person who diligently edited, listened, and gracefully sat by giving up years of vacations, holidays, and parties as I spent countless nights quietly writing. I would also give the most heartfelt thank you to Dr. Moses, Dr. McCoy, and Dr. Smith. Each of you made me the historian I am today. As Dr. James Ronda told me once, pick your professors, not the school—they will shape everything.
