The Gaspee Affair As Conspiracy by Lawrence J
The Gaspee Affair as Conspiracy By Lawrence J. DeVaro, Jr. Rhode Island History, October 1973, pp. 106-121 Digitized and reformatted from .pdf available on-line courtesy RI Historical Society at: http://www.rihs.org/assetts/files/publications/1973_Oct.pdf On the afternoon of June 9, 1772, His Majesty's schooner Gaspee grounded on a shoal called Namquit Point in Narragansett Bay. From the time of their arrival in Rhode Island's waters in February, the Gaspee and her commander, Lieutenant William Dudingston, had been the cause of much commercial frustration of local merchants. Dudingston was insolent, described by one local newspaper as more imperious and haughty than the Grand Turk himself. Past accounts of his pettish nature followed him from port to port.[1] The lieutenant was also shrewd. Aware that owners of seized vessels — rather than navy captains deputized in the customs service — would triumph in any cause brought before Rhode Island's vice-admiralty court, Dudingston had favored the district vice-admiralty court at Boston instead, an option available to customs officials since 1768.[2] Aside from threatening property of Rhode Islanders through possible condemnation of seizures, utilization of the court at Boston invigorated opposition to trials out of the vicinage, a grievance which had irritated merchants within the colony for some time.[3] Finally the lieutenant was zealous — determined to be a conscientious customs officer even if it meant threatening Rhode Island's flourishing illicit trade in non-British, West-Indian molasses. Governor Joseph Wanton of Rhode Island observed that Dudingston also hounded little packet boats as they plied their way between Newport and Providence. -

I will not repeat myself much. Working from the outside in, I praise first the dust jackets. The cover illustrations are striking, even gorgeous reproductions of early illustrations of scenes from Cooper’s novels and of scenes he describes in his travel books: for The Pioneers, “Turkey Shoot” by Tompkins H. Matteson; for The Pathfinder, a depiction by F. O. C. Darley of Natty Bumppo and his friends hiding, in Natty’s case not very furtively, from the “accursed Mingos”; for Wyandotte, a depiction by Darley of Nick escorting Major Willoughby and Maud to the Hut; for The Last of the Mohicans a sumptuous reproduction of Thomas Cole’s “Cora Kneeling at the Feet of Tamenund”; for Lionel Lincoln an engraving by John Lodge of a drawing by Miller called “View of the Attack on Bunker’s Hill, with the Burning of Charles Town, June 17, 1775”; for Switzerland the Castle of Spietz, Lake of Thun, by W. -

Like all students of American history I knew well perhaps a half dozen of the most famous pamphlets of the Revolution, obviously worth republication, and I knew also of others, another half dozen or so, that would probably be worth considering. The project was attractive to me, it did -

An Exploration of Environmental Issues Anjali
P: ISSN No. 0976-8602 RNI No. UPENG/2012/42622 VOL.-III, ISSUE-III, JULY-2014 E: ISSN No. 2349-9443 Asian Resonance Arcadian Wilderness in James Fenimore Cooper - An Exploration of Environmental Issues Abstract The paper examines the idea of Arcadian wilderness in the Leather stocking tales of James Fenimore Cooper in the light of eco- criticism. What exactly is eco-criticism? How can we define it? Eco- criticism is a study of literature that focuses on the relationship between humans and their natural world. It believes that humanity‘s disconnection from the natural world is the reason for the environmental crisis today. Eco-criticism believes that nature, non-human beings have been side- lined because of our anthropocentric biases, which tends to exploit the non-human as a resource for our personal gains and comforts. Eco- criticism also values bio-ethics above cultural ethics. It values tribal, aboriginal values as these people lived close to the soil. The American Indian despite all his violence was steeped in his environment in a way modern man never can be. As Cheryll Glotfelty has said in1994 that eco- criticism has one foot in literature and one in land (Glotfelty).Therefore, th Cooper, this 19 century novelist, said to be the father of American fiction, will be evaluated in the context of the current day environmental concerns. Keywords: Eco-criticism, Environment, Nature, non-human, animals, red Indians, wilderness Anjali Raman Introduction Assistant Professor Eco-criticism primarily examines the nature of our interaction with our Shivaji College, environment and its non-human inhabitants. -
The Muse of Fire: Liberty and War Songs As a Source of American History
3 7^ A'£?/</ THE MUSE OF FIRE: LIBERTY AND WAR SONGS AS A SOURCE OF AMERICAN HISTORY DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Kent Adam Bowman, B.A., M.A Denton, Texas August, 1984 Bowman, Kent Adam, The Muse of Fire; Liberty and War Songs as a Source of American History. Doctor of Philosophy (History), August, 1984, 337 pp., bibliography, 135 titles. The development of American liberty and war songs from a few themes during the pre-Revolutionary period to a distinct form of American popular music in the Civil War period reflects the growth of many aspects of American culture and thought. This study therefore treats as historical documents the songs published in newspapers, broadsides, and songbooks during the period from 1765 to 1865. Chapter One briefly summarizes the development of American popular music before 1765 and provides other introductory material. Chapter Two examines the origin and development of the first liberty-song themes in the period from 1765 to 1775. Chapters Three and Four cover songs written during the American Revolution. Chapter Three describes battle songs, emphasizing the use of humor, and Chapter Four examines the figures treated in the war song. Chapter Five covers the War of 1812, concentrating on the naval song, and describes the first use of dialect in the American war song. Chapter Six covers the Mexican War (1846-1848) and includes discussion of the aggressive American attitude toward the war as evidenced in song. -

Revolutionary War, and Maybe More Importantly, the Events That Led up to the Revolutionary War
Cold Open: In the late 18th century, a relatively small group of rag-tag American colonists would defeat the military of the most powerful empire in the world - the British Empire - and they gave birth to a nation that would itself soon become the most powerful nation in the world, the United States of America. A nation that ironically would save Britain and the rest of Europe from almost certain defeat at the hands of the Nazis just over a century- and-a-half later. Today, just days after the 4th of July, America’s Independence Day commemorating the Declaration of Independence of the United States signed on July 4, 1776, we’re breaking down the events of the Revolutionary War, and maybe more importantly, the events that led up TO the Revolutionary War. Following the end of the French and Indian War in 1763 that kept France from kicking early American colonizers out of the Ohio River valley and perhaps off of the continent itself, Britain was deeply in debt and decided to tax the American colonies to help repay that debt. And the colonists, well… they didn’t care for that decision. They didn’t like taxes. And they really didn’t like how they had no say when it came to being taxed They were irritated by that whole “taxation without representation” situation. And the harder Britain tried to collect money for a war that did in fact protect and save its early American colonists, the more those colonists grew weary of being governed by a nation that they felt less and less like a part of, a nation that felt more and more like a foreign ruler. -

"Indian" Novels of Jose De Alencar
7 Nationality and the "Indian" Novels of Jose de Alencar Cooper's Leather-stocking series was read most attentively and fruitfully not in Europe but in other parts of the Americas, where a collection of Spanish colonies and the single Portuguese one were pupating into nations and, like the United States, creating national lit eratures. They too, looking for autochthonous subjects, found the opu lent scenery and the original inhabitants sanctioned by the European discourse of the exotic and began to fashion from them a way of repre senting a non-European identity. Cooper showed that it could be done and was admired for it.1 His works were aligned with European exam ples of how to use exotic materials and seen as patterns for adapting a discourse of the exotic to the production of an American literature of nationality. The Cooper with whom other American literatures of nationality es tablished an intertextual relationship was strictly the creator of the Leather-stocking. Neither his sea novels nor those in which he conducts an acerbic argument with his contemporaries were taken as models. Certainly the choice in Notions of the Americansto assert national identity by opposing exoticism, its assumption that the power relation on which 1 According to Doris Sommer Cooper's "Latin-American heirs . reread and rewrote him" (Foundational Fictions, p. 52).
