  • The Making of a Conservationist: Audubon's Ecological Memory
    Journal of Ecocriticism 5(2) July 2013 The Making of a Conservationist: Audubon’s Ecological Memory Christian Knoeller (Purdue University)* Abstract While Audubon’s exploits as consummate artist, accomplished naturalist, and aspiring entrepreneur are widely recognized, his contributions as author and nascent conservationist remain less fully appreciated. Extensive travels observing and documenting wildlife as an artist-naturalist gave him a unique perspective on how human-induced changes to the landscape impacted wildlife. He lamented the reduction in range of many species and destruction of historic breeding grounds, as well as declining populations caused by overhunting and habitat loss. His understanding of changing landscapes might be thought of in terms of ecological memory reflected in his narratives of environmental history. He described the destruction of forests and fisheries as well as the shrinking ranges of species including several now extinct such as the Passenger Pigeon, Carolina Parakeet, and Ivory-billed Woodpecker. Quadrupeds of North America and the Missouri River Journals depict the impact of environmental destruction he witnessed taking place in the first half of the 19th century. While these later works suggest a growing interest in conservation, Audubon had already voiced such concerns frequently in his earlier writings. Copious journals kept throughout his career in the field on America’s westering frontier reveal a keen appreciation for environmental history. By the time he arrived on the Upper Missouri in 1843, his values regarding the preservation of wildlife and habitat had been forged by writing for decades about his observations in the wild. What began as a quest to celebrate the natural abundance of North America by documenting every species of bird took on new dimensions as he expressed increasing concerns about conservation having recognized the extent of development and declines in wildlife during his lifetime.

  • Charles William Brebner (1852-1922)
    Charles William Brebner (1852-1922) Charles Brebner was a well-known ship captain of Jamaican descent. I had a letter in October from his grandson, John L. Brebner in Mauritius, parts of which are excerpted below with my own additional footnotes and commentary. “May I introduce myself, I am also John Brebner from the island of Mauritius. Last week my daughter Stephanie and I were talking about my late Grand Dad Charles William Brebner Master Mariner FRGS – FRSA, a Catholic and a Freemason, he was also the first Brebner to set foot and settled here….” “On my side our roots came to a dead end in Jamaica, but I am sure it goes beyond the shores of Jamaica. Based on local experience, I believe that in the distant past a British European colonizer, a Brebner, settled in Jamaica, married or lived in concubinage with a native woman there and gave his name to his offspring and my Grand Dad was his descendent. I do not believe that a name like Brebner could be an ancestral native name of Jamaica.”i “I have not known my Grand Dad, as per his photograph I could see that he was a strong well built coloured Guy, most of his children and great grand children have fair complexions with blue/grey eyes…” “Charles William Brebner was born in 1852ii in the County of Cornwall, Lucea, Jamaica. He died in Mauritius on the 5th June 1922 and was buried at Port Louis West Cemetery, Grave Section 11 N. 318”. “As the story goes when he was a child his parents immigrated to the United States, one day he and his little sister were playing in the back garden.

  • Readers of This Family History Forum May Remember Seeing an Article About an Omission to the Eyemouth War Memorial and How
    John Willis and the “Cutty Sark” Tea Clipper By Walter V. Holden Readers of this Family History Forum may remember seeing an article about an omission to the Eyemouth War Memorial and how the writer Joan McGiveron (née Spouse) was proposing to visit the unveiling of the correction in July 2008, some 90 years after her grandfather John Spouse had been Killed in Action at Arras on the 21st.July 1918. Joan had researched her grandfather’s career, from when he was born in Eyemouth, to his death in World War 1. The omission was spotted by Joan's cousin David Spouse of Duns. David, after consultation with Joan and with the assistance of the British Legion, made it his duty to correct this omission. Fortuitously, there was sufficient room on the memorial inscriptions. Joan made the journey from Vancouver to Eyemouth to honour her grandfather’s name with the help of friends, relations and the British Legion, she fulfilled her duty on that July date. The unveiling ceremony was reported in the Berwick Advertiser at the time. Joan McGiveron is a keen family historian and without a doubt her expertise helped her fulfil her promise to the grandfather she never knew. However behind her fulfilment, she unearthed a more unique piece of maritime history when a query arrived from a descendant of John Willis Sr. of Eyemouth , asking Joan if there was a family connection. This story deserves to be recorded on the Burnmouth Community family history forum. Joan’s Great Great Great Grandparents were William Willis and Mary Maltman both of Eyemouth.
