Appendix B: Peter Force Index [Peter Force Papers and Collection, Manuscript Division, Library of Congress] Appendix B: Peter Force Index The index to the Peter Force collection is a guide to correspondence and other documents in the collection. Originally created to index Series IX: Miscellaneous Manuscripts, which is arranged chronologically, the current index also includes the titles of some materials in other series. It is essentially a name index, listing alphabetically the names of both writers and recipients of letters and other documents. Although it is not a subject index, some articles and most memoranda are indexed with subject or title subheadings following the name of the author. Also, some miscellaneous items for which no name appears are listed under a subject title. The index includes the name of the writer/recipient, the document date, the former location in the division, and an “Addenda” column for supplementary information. The index is illustrated in the sample entries on p.202, and uncommon abbreviations used in the index are listed on pp. 203. The names of the writer/recipient are arranged alphabetically and their correspondence chronologically thereunder (see lines 1 and 2 of sample illustration). When there are three or more writers or recipients of the same document, the document is indexed under the name of the first writer or recipient and the phrase “et al.”, follows the names (line 3). When only the surname of the correspondent is known, three dashes are used to indicate the missing first name (line 4). Correspondence of a married woman is entered under her own name whenever it can be determined (line 5). When the writer or recipient bears a title of nobility, the entry is placed under the title with a cross reference from the common name to that of the title (line 6). Whenever there are spelling variations in a name and the correct spelling cannot be verified, the name is entered as it appears on the document. When a writer uses two different forms of his own name, he is entered under the form that appears on the document. Writers who deliberately withhold their identity are indexed under the word “anonymous” (line 10). If a document is unsigned or the signature is illegible, the entry is placed under the recipient’s name and the writer is termed “unknown” (line 11). Correspondence on behalf of an organization, public or private, is usually indexed under the name of the organization rather than under the name of the person (line 8). Some local, state, national and international organizations are indexed under geographical location (line 7), and there are sometimes cross references from personal names to organizations (lines 9). The addenda column of the index is used for supplementary information. Documents other than letters are identified in this column by form (lines 1 and 7). When an item is out of its normal order, for example, an enclosure filed with its covering letter rather than under its own date, the addenda column gives the item’s location. This reference usually consists of the name of the correspondent and the date of the document immediately preceding the out-of-sequence item (lines 11) . If the material is not in Series IX, the entry is not indented and the last column is used to enter the series and container wherein the material may be found (line 12).

  • MOG Biography
    Dictionary of Canadian Biography MOG (Heracouansit, Warracansit, Warracunsit, Warrawcuset), a noted warrior, subchief, and orator of the Norridgewock (Caniba) division of the Abenakis, son of Mog, an Abenaki chief killed in 1677; b. c. 1663; killed 12 Aug. 1724 (O.S.) at Norridgewock (Narantsouak; now Old Point in south Madison, Me). In the La Chasse* census of 1708, Mog is listed under the name Heracouansit (in Abenaki, welákwansit, “one with small handsome heels”). During King William’s and Queen Anne’s Wars Mog took part in the numerous raids on English settlements by Abenakis and carried captives and scalps to Quebec. Following the peace of Utrecht in April 1713, Mog, Bomoseen, Moxus, Taxous, and other chiefs concluded a peace with New England at Portsmouth, N.H., on 11– 13 July. The Abenakis pledged allegiance to Anne, though “it is safe to say that they did not know what the words meant” (Parkman). They also admitted the right of the English to land occupied before the war. The English, on their side, promised that the Indians could settle any individual grievances with them in English courts. Mog and the others then sailed with six New England commissioners to Casco Bay, where the treaty and terms of submission were read to 30 chiefs, in the presence of 400 other Abenakis, on 18 July. “Young Mogg” was described as “a man about 50 years, a likely Magestick lookt Man who spake all was Said.” The Abenakis expressed surprise when told that the French had surrendered all the Abenaki lands to the English: “wee wonder how they would give it away without asking us, God having at first placed us there and They having nothing to do to give it away.” Father Sébastien RALE, the Jesuit missionary at Norridgewock, reported a month later that he had convinced the Indians the English were deceiving them with an ambiguous phrase, for England and France still disagreed about the limits of “Acadia.” Apparently the Indians remained disturbed, however, when the English offered to show them the official text of the European treaty in the presence of their missionaries.

  • Re-Membering Norridgewock Stories and Politics of a Place Multiple
    RE-MEMBERING NORRIDGEWOCK STORIES AND POLITICS OF A PLACE MULTIPLE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Ashley Elizabeth Smith December 2017 © 2017 Ashley Elizabeth Smith RE-MEMBERING NORRIDGEWOCK STORIES AND POLITICS OF A PLACE MULTIPLE Ashley Elizabeth Smith, Ph. D. Cornell University 2017 This dissertation is an ethnography of place-making at Norridgewock, the site of a famous Wabanaki village in western Maine that was destroyed by a British militia in 1724. I examine how this site is variously enacted as a place of Wabanaki survivance and erasure and ask, how is it that a particular place with a particular history can be mobilized in different and even contradictory ways? I apply Annemarie Mol’s (2002) analytic concept of the body multiple to place to examine how utilize practices of storytelling, remembering, gathering, producing knowledge, and negotiating relationships to variously enact Norridgewock as a place multiple. I consider the multiple, overlapping, coexistent, and contradictory enactments of place and engagements with knowledge that shape place-worlds in settler colonial nation-states. Rather than taking these different enactments of place to be different perspectives on or versions of place, I examine how these enactments are embedded in and shaped by hierarchies of power and politics that produce enactments of place that are at times parallel and at times contradictory. Place-making is especially political in the context of settler colonialism, where indigenous places, histories, and peoples are erased in order to be replaced (Wolfe 2006; O’Brien 2010).

  • Forest Avenue and Stevens Avenue Portland, Maine Historic Context
    Forest Avenue and Stevens Avenue Portland, Maine Historic Context Scott T. Hanson Sutherland Conservation & Consulting August 2015 General context Development of Colonial Falmouth European settlement of the area that became the city of Portland, Maine, began with English settlers establishing homes on the islands of Casco Bay and on the peninsula known as Casco Neck in the early seventeenth century. As in much of Maine, early settlers were attracted by abundant natural resources, specifically fish and trees. Also like other early settlement efforts, those at Casco Bay and Casco Neck were tenuous and fitful, as British and French conflicts in Europe extended across the Atlantic to New England and both the French and their Native American allies frequently sought to limit British territorial claims in the lands between Massachusetts and Canada. Permanent settlement did not come to the area until the early eighteenth century and complete security against attacks from French and Native forces did not come until the fall of Quebec to the British in 1759. Until this historic event opened the interior to settlement in a significant way, the town on Casco Neck, named Falmouth, was primarily focused on the sea with minimal contact with the interior. Falmouth developed as a compact village in the vicinity of present day India Street. As it expanded, it grew primar- ily to the west along what would become Fore, Middle, and Congress streets. A second village developed at Stroudwater, several miles up the Fore River. Roads to the interior were limited and used primarily to move logs to the coast for sawing or use as ship’s masts.

Anderson ______________________________ Dr. Karl H. Offen © Copyright by MATTHEW R. BAHAR 2012 All Rights Reserved. For Allison Acknowledgements Crafting this dissertation, like the overall experience of graduate school, occasionally left me adrift at sea. At other times it saw me stuck in the doldrums. Periodically I was tossed around by tempestuous waves. But two beacons always pointed me to quiet harbors where I gained valuable insights, developed new perspectives, and acquired new momentum. My advisor and mentor, Josh Piker, has been incredibly generous with his time, ideas, advice, and encouragement. His constructive critique of my thoughts, methodology, and writing (I never realized I was prone to so many split infinitives and unclear antecedents) was a tremendous help to a graduate student beginning his career. In more ways than he probably knows, he remains for me an exemplar of the professional historian I hope to become. And as a barbecue connoisseur, he is particularly worthy of deference and emulation.

  • Record of the Old Protestant Cemetery in Macau
    OLD PROTESTANT CEMETERY IN MACAU Cemetery opened 1821 Cemetery closed in 1858 The Old Protestant Cemetery close to the Casa Garden was established by the British East India Company in 1821 in Macau - in response to a lack of burial sites for Protestants in the Roman Catholic Portuguese Colony Macau was considered by the Portuguese to be sacred Roman Catholic ground and the authorities barred the burial of Protestants within its city walls whilst on the other side of the barrier gate the Chinese were equally as intolerant of the burial of foreigners in its soil This left the Protestant community of British, American and Northern European traders with the only option of a secret night-time burial in the land between the city walls and the barrier gate and the risk of confrontation with Chinese should they be discovered or worse - desecration of the grave once they had gone. The matter was finally resolved in 1821 after the death of Robert Morrison's wife Mary when the local committee of the East India Company voted to purchase a plot of land and resolve its legal status with the Portuguese such that the burial of Protestants would be permitted there Later the East India Company allowed burial of all foreigners and several graves were moved from other locations outside the city walls into the cemetery with people being reinterred from other burial places in the Macao Hillside thus explaining why some graves are dated before the Cemetery founding in 1821 Nationals of Britain, the United States of America, Holland, Denmark, Sweden and Germany

  • RIVERS, ENERGY, and the REMAKING of COLONIAL NEW ENGLAND by ZACHARY M
    FLOWING POWER: RIVERS, ENERGY, AND THE REMAKING OF COLONIAL NEW ENGLAND By ZACHARY M. BENNETT A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History Written under the direction of James Delbourgo And approved by New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Flowing Power: Rivers, Energy, and the Remaking of Colonial New England by Zachary M. Bennett Dissertation Director: James Delbourgo This dissertation considers how river energy was a source of authority in colonial New England. The caloric, kinetic, and mechanical energy people derived from rivers was necessary for survival in New England’s forbidding environment. During the initial stages of colonization, both Europeans and Indians struggled to secure strategic positions on waterways because they were the only routes capable of accommodating trade from the coast to the interior. European and Native peoples came into conflict by the late seventeenth century as they overextended the resource base. Exerting dominion in the ensuing wars on New England’s frontiers was directly tied to securing strategic river spaces since the masters of these places determined the flow of communication and food for the surrounding territory. Following British military conquest, colonists aggressively dammed rivers to satisfy the energy demands of their growing population. These dams eviscerated fish runs, shunting access to waterpower away from Native Americans and yeoman farmers. The transformation of New England’s hydrology was a critical factor in the dispossession indigenous peoples before the Revolution and essential in laying the legal groundwork for the region’s industrial future.

  • Old Plattsburgh
    OLD PLATTSBURGH By MARJORIE LANSING PORTER Dedicated to my mother, Helen Prescott Lansing CLINTON PRESS, INC. - 1944 COPYRIGHT PENDING OLD PLATTSBURGH Plattsburgh is only about 1,0· years old, which makes it seem a mere infant compared to some American cities. The fact that it is situated on the shore of Lake Champlain leads one to begin its history with the adven, tures of Samuel de Champlain, when in the summer of 1609, he discovered and explored the shores of the lake, and tell of various activities in the Champlain Valley succeeding that event. However, there are already a number of authentic accounts of the long struggle between France and England for control of this region, which are available in public libraries. More intimate histories of pioneer life are rarer, yet have considerable value. Let me tell you a story of the adventur, ous people who settled at the mouth of the Saranac river and made new homes at Plattsburgh in the northern wilderness to which they came on that long used highway, Lake Champlain. No history of Plattsburgh as a permanent settlement would be com, plete without reference to a Captain of the British army, Count Charles de Fredenburg, who dreamed dreams of a prosperous community at the mouth of the Saranac river and came here with his family and a group of workmen about 17 67, after receiving an English land grant. He must have been a gentleman of means, for it is said he built a substantial, well furnished home about where Israel Green"s tavern later stood on Bridge street and around which were the log cabins of his associates, while about three miles up the river he erected a saw mill.

They accepted the Republican Party image of the Federalists, represented by Stephen Van Rensselaer, as the party of aristocrats, elitists, Anglophiles and Tories. By 1801 the Federalist Party had lost control of the state Senate, Assembly, governor's office and the New York congressional delegation.

SEBASTIEN RALE VS. NEW ENGLAND: A CASE STUDY OF FRONTIER CONFLICT By Kenneth M. Morrison An Abstract of the Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (in History). June, 1970. A study was made of the Jesuit missionary, Sebastien Rale, and his role in New England-New France relations. French and English primary and secondary materials were examined to give the broadest possible view of the man and to place him in historical context. It was found that Sebastien Rale was not an agent of New France. The conflicting opinions surrounding the mission of Norridgewock and the border war of the 1720's were traced to the problems of Massachusetts-Abnaki relations. Rale's frequent and testy letters to the government of the Bay Colony were blunt reactions to what he viewed as religious and territorial threats against his mission.
