Throughout my time as a graduate student, her influence has disrupted, challenged, and encouraged my thinking in the most meaningful and delightful ways. It is largely because of her faith in me as a teacher, scholar, and writer that I was able to complete this project. Her apt words o f encouragement, unselfish mentor ship, brilliant scholarship, and creative teaching are gifts for which I will always be grateful. More than anyone I know, she possesses the ability to envision a “third” and better way. I would also like to express special thanks to Carol Mattingly. Due to her enthusiasm, dedication, and unique scholarship the world of nineteenth -century women’s literature was opened for me in a life-changing way. I am infinitely grateful to her for all of the guidance, opportunities, and expertise that she freely shared with me throughout this dissertation process. To my other committee members, I also owe a great debt. William Pinar’s insights regarding both American cultural history and curriculum theory were extremely valuable to me. Claudia Eppert’s work with testimony was also invaluable, in that it provided a vitally important lens from which to see Catharine Sedgwick’s writing. I am also thankful for Ruth Bowman’s thorough and well-informed analysis o f my work. For both their friendship and scholarly insights, I thank the students and co- teachers of the “Engendering Curriculum” seminar. Donna Porche-Frilot, Soledad Smith, Tayari kwa Salaam, and Debbie Davis-Pierce were o f particular help. I am also grateful to Ann Trousdale for sharing her expertise in narrative theory. iv Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. Of course, special thanks goes to my husband Dennis ffi>r enduring late nights and a tight budget. I would never have been able to reach my nsumerous deadlines without both his technical and emotional support. I also owe a .great debt to the many family members and friends who undergirded me with their praters. In particular, I am grateful for the encouragement of my wonderful parents Laurai and John McMillan, my sisters Catherine and Leah, my brother-in-law Darin Boyd, my rniece Emily, my nephew Joel, Libby and Dave Martens, and my grandmother Velora Camnon Smith. I was also blessed to receive much needed support from Artela and Bud TTyler, Laurel Tyler, and the whole Tyler family. Through love and prayer my strength vwas consistently renewed.

ABSTRACT Prevalent in both archetypal and religious literature, the journey motif weaves its way through tales of human growth—stories which grapple with the processes of how people come to be and to know. Such images of identity formation and knowledge construction hold significant implications for the field of education. Indeed, Huebner (1993) notes that “we do not need learning theory or developmental theory to explain human change...The question educators need to ask is not how people learn and develop, but what gets in the way of the great journey—the journey of the self or soul” (p. 405). While Huebner’s suggested paradigm shift is promising, it is limited by current conceptions of the journey metaphor. For example, narratives which promote separation and “rugged individualism” dominate American Literature classrooms, and although the canon contains numerous quest stories, these tales tend to be limited to individualistic journeys which center only on men’s experiences. Therefore, rather than promote a unitary quest which exclusively emphasizes separation, individuation, and male heroes, it is important to investigate and to construct new possibilities that consider the life experiences of women and marginalized peoples. The focus of this study is the life journey o f the once well-known nineteenth century American novelist Catharine Maria Sedgwick (1789 - 1867).1 Using her most 1 Nina Baym (1992) notes that in spite of the fact that by the middle of the nineteenth century women writers

    Connecticut Unscathed: Victory in The Great Narragansett War (King Philip’s War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Major Jason W. Warren, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: John F. Guilmartin Jr., Advisor Alan Gallay, Kristen Gremillion Peter Mansoor, Geoffrey Parker Copyright by Jason W. Warren 2011 Abstract King Philip’s War (1675-1676) was one of the bloodiest per capita in American history. Although hostile native groups damaged much of New England, Connecticut emerged unscathed from the conflict. Connecticut’s role has been obscured by historians’ focus on the disasters in the other colonies as well as a misplaced emphasis on “King Philip,” a chief sachem of the Wampanoag groups. Although Philip formed the initial hostile coalition and served as an important leader, he was later overshadowed by other sachems of stronger native groups such as the Narragansetts. Viewing the conflict through the lens of a ‘Great Narragansett War’ brings Connecticut’s role more clearly into focus, and indeed enables a more accurate narrative for the conflict. Connecticut achieved success where other colonies failed by establishing a policy of moderation towards the native groups living within its borders. This relationship set the stage for successful military operations. Local native groups, whether allied or neutral did not assist hostile Indians, denying them the critical intelligence necessary to coordinate attacks on Connecticut towns. The English colonists convinced allied Mohegan, Pequot, and Western Niantic warriors to support their military operations, giving Connecticut forces a decisive advantage in the field.

JOHN H. PERRY ON OCTOBER TWELFTH, NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIVE NEW YORK 1905 THE GREAT SWAMP FIGHT IN FAIRFIELD HON. JOHN H. PERRY You are met this afternoon in a town conspicuously honorable and honored even in the Connecticut galaxy. I am not its historian nor its panegyrist. It has notable incumbents of both offices, who should be in my place to-day. While I once professed to right wrongs, I never pretended to write stories, and my present predicament is the evolved outcome of a long line of pious ancestry, my fitness to survive which is demonstrated by a genius for obedience. When I was bidden to read a paper to you I found my ability to disobey atrophied by long disuse. I can tender nothing worthy of the town or the occasion, and I frankly throw myself for mercy upon that peace- with-all-the-world feeling which invariably follows the hospitality of Osborn Hill. To have steadily produced Jenningses and Goulds and Burrs generation after generation would alone pay the debt of any town to its country; but Fairfield, insatiable in usefulness, has not been content with that. She has produced college founders and Yale presidents, great preachers, United States senators and representa- tives, famous poets, learned judges, governors, secretaries of state, and other notables in number out of all proportions to her size.

After researching the event and completing the investigation, I came to accept the fact that there is no such thing as dumb luck or odd occurrences. Having devoted my time and energy in the search and enquire of the event, I had no choice but to honor the event in history by writing this book out of respect for not only the 9 men who the site is named after, but to the hundreds of curious visitors who pay homage to the site every year. Whether good or bad, I hope and pray that it does more than less to its story. With all my heart and virtues, I’d like to thank the following: The people and the town of Cumberland, Rhode Island for not only being my backyard for so many years, but for their time and belief in my vision of a storyteller. There is not a home, a street, or a brook in Cumberland that does not have a story. Bob & Ryan Billington for appreciating the time spent together on the topic and throughout the research. Thank you for your work on the site and its story. I hope the time spent together as father and son on the project will live throughout your lives as some of the best memories held onto.

  • 'Weltering in Their Own Blood': Puritan Casualties in King Philip's
    106 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Fall 2009 Portrait of King Philip (Metacomet) by Paul Revere Illustration from the 1772 edition of Thomas Church’s The Entertaining History of King Philip’s War. Thomas’ father, Benjamin Church, led colonial troops in what remains the bloodiest war per capita in U.S. history. The war ended when Church captured Metacomet, chief of the Wampanoag. Thomas originally published this work in 1716 under the unwieldy title Entertaining Passages Relating to Philip’s War which Began in the Month of June, 1675. As also of Expeditions More lately made against the Common Enemy, and Indian Rebels, in the Eastern Parts of New-England: With Some Account of the Divine Providence towards Benj. Church Esqr. Source: Library of Congress. 107 “Weltering in Their Own Blood”: Puritan Casualties in King Philip’s War ROBERT E. CRAY, JR. Abstract: Recent scholarship has underscored the carnage inflicted by King Philip’s War (1675-76). Colonists faced a diverse assortment of Native Americans led by Wampanoag sachem Metacom (whom the colonists referred to as King Philip). In terms of population, King Philip’s War was the bloodiest conflict in American history. Fifty- two English towns were attacked, a dozen were destroyed, and more than 2,500 colonists died – perhaps 30% of the English population of New England. At least twice as many Native Americans were killed. Some historians estimate that the combined effects of war, disease, and starvation killed half the Native population of the region. The war left an enduring legacy. Less well known, however, is that while the Puritans did attempt to save the wounded, they were far less successful in their efforts to retrieve and properly inter the dead.

This investigation finds its roots in colonial literature and history – in the events of King Philip’s War and the texts that it produced – but moves beyond these initial points of departure to consider this archive as a laboratory for the study of the relationship between genre and knowledge on one hand, and literature and the construction of (proto-) national community on the other.
