From this we might assume that Eastman, and perhaps Chapman, may have consulted a wartime pho- tograph. His antebellum Sumter is highly idealized, drawn perhaps from an as-yet unidentified print, or extrapolated from maps and plans of the fort—child’s play for a master topographer like Eastman. Coastal Defenses The forts painted by Eastman had once been the state of the art, before rifled artillery rendered masonry Fig. 11.

By 1867, when the construction of new Third System fortifications ceased, more than 40 citadels defended Amer- ican coastal waters.12 Most of East- man’s forts were constructed under the Third System, but few of them saw action during the Civil War. A number served as military prisons. As commandant of Fort Mifflin on the Delaware River from November 1864 to August 1865, Col. Eastman would have visited Fort Delaware on Pea Patch Island, located in the river channel between Wilmington and New Castle, Delaware. Channel-dredging had dumped tons of spoil at the northern end of the island, land upon which a miserable prison-pen housed enlisted Confederate pris- oners of war. Their officers were Fig. 12. It appears that Eastman used this George N. Barnard photograph, Fort quartered within the fort in relative Sumter in April, 1865, as the source for his painting.

  • Words of the Bewitched (1692)
    Words of the Bewitched (1692) New Englanders believed that witches were capable of using their occult powers to cause bad things to happen to people. Usually, they believed, witches were in league with the devil, who used them as his agents to cause havoc. During the seventeenth century, approximately three hundred New Englanders were accused in court of being witches, about four-fifths of them women. The largest and most famous outbreak of witchcraft accusations occurred at Salem in 1692. The prominent Puritan minister Cotton Mather summarized the testimony against some of the accused witches in his book Wonders of the Invisible World (1692), the source of the following testimony against Bridget Bishop. Bishop was a married, middle-aged woman; both she and her husband were church members. Eight days after her trial, she was executed by hanging. Testimony against Accused Witch Bridget Bishop, 1692 The trial of Bridget Bishop ... at the Court of Oyer and Terminer held at Salem, June 2, 1692. I. She was indicted for bewitching of several persons in the neighborhood, the indictment being drawn up, according to the form in such cases usual. And pleading, not guilty, there were brought in several persons, who had long undergone many kinds of miseries, which were preternaturally inflicted, and generally ascribed unto a horrible witchcraft. There was little occasion to prove the witchcraft; it being evident and notorious to all beholders. Now to fix the witchcraft on the prisoner at the bar, the first thing used was, the testimony of the bewitched; whereof, several testified, that the shape of the prisoner did oftentimes very grievously pinch them, choke them, bite them, and afflict them; urging them to write their names in a book, which the said specter called, ours.

  • Bridget Bishop: Convicted by Societal Norms
    Bridget Bishop: Convicted by Societal Norms Alex Mei In the Salem witch trials of the 1690s, dozens of women were tried and convicted for witchcraft, a practice involving the supernatural and associated with the devil. Bridget Bishop was the first to be convicted, accused by more people than any other defendant. She was arrested on April 18, 1692, and nearly two months later was hanged for practicing witchcraft. During Bishop’s trial, the jury and the witnesses made many mistakes concerning her identity. The jury failed to recognize the difference between the witnesses’ testimonies about Bishop’s ghost and the actual Bishop herself. The witnesses also confused Bridget Bishop’s identity with that of another witchcraft defendant, Sarah Bishop. Proximately, these mistakes led to the jury’s conclusion that Bishop was, in fact, a witch. However, ultimately, Bishop was convicted because of the defined role women had to play in Salem’s Puritan society. All women had to take care of the household and family under the men’s complete authority, without any resistance. They had to be patient and submissive towards men in order to be socially accepted. Bishop, on the other hand, did not fit this accepted model for women. She, both literally and figuratively, displayed her independence as a woman. She often fought with her first husband, Thomas Oliver, literally defying a male figure and thus challenging both the rules of Puritan society and the laws of Salem County. Figuratively, Bishop also displayed her threatening female power. Prior to her trial, Bishop’s husband died, leaving her and her daughter in charge of his land and with a considerable amount of money.

Carson, University of Alberta, Canada In this volume William F. Pinar enacts his theory of curriculum, detailing the relations among knowledge, history, and alterity. The introduction is his intel- lectual life history, naming the contributions he has made to understanding educational experience. Through his portraits of educational experience as lived— encompassing study as the center of educational experience, his con- ceptions of disciplinarity and internationalization, reactivating the past to fi nd the future, the gendering and racialization of U.S. school reform, the technol- ogization of education, and the educational project of subjective and social reconstruction—Pinar threads the relations among knowledge, history, and alterity. William F. Pinar is Professor and Canada Research Chair at the University of British Columbia. He has also served as the St. Bernard Parish Alumni Endowed Professor at Louisiana State University, the Frank Talbott Professor at the University of Virginia, and the A. Lindsay O’Connor Professor of American Institutions at Colgate University. The former President of the International Association for the Advancement of Curriculum Studies and the founder of its U.S. affi liate, the American Association for the Advancement of Curricu- lum Studies, Pinar received, in 2000, the LSU Distinguished Faculty Award and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Educational Research Association.
