  • Native American Heritage
    Journey through Wisconsin Dells’ Rich Native American Heritage Long before the first boat embarked on a tour, even before the arrival of the hard-working lumber raftsmen who made their living on the Wisconsin River, others lived out their days in Wisconsin Dells. For hundreds of years, Native Americans made this area their home and it is their culture, history and intriguing legends that helped shape this region. The Ho-Chunk tribe, known for many years as the Winnebago, played a significant role in the history of the Dells area and was even partly responsible for its name. The river itself they called “Meskousing” or “Misconsing,” which historians have come to believe means “River of Red Stone” or “River of the Great Rock.” Over time, explorers, writers and map makers have given the name various spellings. In the end, the most common was Ouisconsin, which eventually took on a uniquely American spelling of Wisconsin. French explorers and fur traders called the area the “Dalles” which means “flat, layered rock.” Eventually the two names merged to become Wisconsin Dells. One of the most famous Ho-Chunk members is Yellow Thunder, who through his “refusal policy” emerged as the most important leader of the tribe. In 1837, the Ho-Chunk were coerced into signing a treaty relinquishing their Wisconsin lands and setting into motion the U.S. government’s “removal policy” in which Native Americans were moved to an area west of the Mississippi River. Four times, between 1844 and 1873, U.S. troops came to Wisconsin Dells, rounded up the Ho-Chunk, and moved them west.

  • "I'm Glad to Hear That You Liked M Y Little Article": Letters Exchanged
    "I'm glad to hear that you liked my little article": Letters Exchanged Between Frank T. Siebert and Fannie Hardy Eckstorm, 1938-1945 PAULEENA MACDOUGALL University of Maine Writing from his home at 127 Merbrook Lane, Merion Station, Pennsylvania, on 9 January 1938, Dr. Frank T. Siebert, Jr., penned the following: Dear Mrs. Eckstorm: Many thanks for your very nice letter. I am glad to hear that you liked my little article. I have several others, longer and of broader scope, in preparation, but they probably will not appear for some time to come. One of these is a volume of Penobscot linguistic texts, of which Dr. Speck and I are joint authors. The letter quoted above and others to follow offer a glimpse into the thoughts of two very different people who shared an interest in the Penobscot Indians: one, a woman of 73 years who had already published seven books and numerous articles at the time the two began correspond­ ing, the other a 26-year-old medical doctor. Siebert studied at Episcopal Academy, Haverford College, and received his M.D. at the University of Pennsylvania, where he made the acquaintance of anthropologist Frank Speck. The young doctor attended summer institutes in linguistics where he encountered Algonquianists such as Leonard Bloomfield, Edward Sapir and Mary Haas. His ability in the field of linguistics did not go unnoticed at the University of Pennsylvania, because Speck asked him to lecture in his anthropology class. Siebert visited the Penobscot Indian Reservation in 1932 for the first time and collected vocabulary and stories from Penobscot speakers thereafter on his summer vacations.

  • The Status of the Least Documented Language Families in the World
    Vol. 4 (2010), pp. 177-212 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4478 The status of the least documented language families in the world Harald Hammarström Radboud Universiteit, Nijmegen and Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig This paper aims to list all known language families that are not yet extinct and all of whose member languages are very poorly documented, i.e., less than a sketch grammar’s worth of data has been collected. It explains what constitutes a valid family, what amount and kinds of documentary data are sufficient, when a language is considered extinct, and more. It is hoped that the survey will be useful in setting priorities for documenta- tion fieldwork, in particular for those documentation efforts whose underlying goal is to understand linguistic diversity. 1. InTroducTIon. There are several legitimate reasons for pursuing language documen- tation (cf. Krauss 2007 for a fuller discussion).1 Perhaps the most important reason is for the benefit of the speaker community itself (see Voort 2007 for some clear examples). Another reason is that it contributes to linguistic theory: if we understand the limits and distribution of diversity of the world’s languages, we can formulate and provide evidence for statements about the nature of language (Brenzinger 2007; Hyman 2003; Evans 2009; Harrison 2007). From the latter perspective, it is especially interesting to document lan- guages that are the most divergent from ones that are well-documented—in other words, those that belong to unrelated families. I have conducted a survey of the documentation of the language families of the world, and in this paper, I will list the least-documented ones.

Fishes were caught with pulsed DC electro-fishing equipment from 28 sampling sites throughout Turkish Mediterranean Sea drainages between Göksu River and stream Boğa. The findings of the study demonstrate that Capoeta antalyensis inhabits in Köprüçay and Aksu rivers, and streams Boğa and Gündoğdu, all around Antalya. Capoeta caelestis widely distributed in coastal stream and rivers between Stream Dim (Alanya) in the west and Göksu River (Silifke) in the east. Metric and meristic characters were collected from the fish samples which obtained in the field for Capoeta caelestis and Capoeta antalyensis, and museum material for Capoeta damascina. In this way, morphologic features of the species revealed and Capoeta caelestis compared with Capoeta damascina to remove the hesitations about the validity of the species. The conservation status of Capoeta antalyensis was recommended to uplist from Vulnerable to Endangered. Keywords: Freshwater Fish Species; Anatolia; Pisces; Capoeta antalyensis; C.

  • Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology
    THE WAR OF 1812 MAGAZINE ISSUE 26 December 2016 Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology Compiled by Ralph Eshelman and Donald Hickey Introduction This War of 1812 Chronology includes all the major events related to the conflict beginning with the 1797 Jay Treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation between the United Kingdom and the United States of America and ending with the United States, Weas and Kickapoos signing of a peace treaty at Fort Harrison, Indiana, June 4, 1816. While the chronology includes items such as treaties, embargos and political events, the focus is on military engagements, both land and sea. It is believed this chronology is the most holistic inventory of War of 1812 military engagements ever assembled into a chronological listing. Don Hickey, in his War of 1812 Chronology, comments that chronologies are marred by errors partly because they draw on faulty sources and because secondary and even primary sources are not always dependable.1 For example, opposing commanders might give different dates for a military action, and occasionally the same commander might even present conflicting data. Jerry Roberts in his book on the British raid on Essex, Connecticut, points out that in a copy of Captain Coot’s report in the Admiralty and Secretariat Papers the date given for the raid is off by one day.2 Similarly, during the bombardment of Fort McHenry a British bomb vessel's log entry date is off by one day.3 Hickey points out that reports compiled by officers at sea or in remote parts of the theaters of war seem to be especially prone to ambiguity and error.
