Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Colony, Or, Pilgrim Land: Past and Present In the early days of American history, all the population of what afterwards became the United States lived near the Atlantic coasts; and for many years after the formation of the confederacy of commonwealths the inhabitants had penetrated but comparatively a short distance inland, so that the ocean, with its indenting bays and sounds, and the rivers emptying into it along every part of the coast, furnished always attractive facilities for transportation and habitation purposes, while water-fronts were easy of access in summer, even for that portion of the population most remote from the shores, and the delights of the element were available for a people seemingly almost amphibious by nature, by history and practice, belonging nearly as much to the water as to the land, and which had little idea of recreative or diverting exercises that were not conducted near the seashore. Although the people of the United States are at present scattered far and wide over countless square miles of country, until they have occupied nearly every portion of a territory lying between two great oceans 3,000 miles apart from east to west, and with an expanse from north to south nearly as great, they have never yet lost, have scarcely modified, in fact, the distinguishing traits of their early history, at least with reference to their love of ocean and water scenery and situations. "Watering-places," localities by lake or river or seashore, are as much a necessity north, east, south and west, in this country, as are township organizations or cemeteries. Nor have the descendants of the fathers rooted out or discouraged the ancient love for ocean haunts and seashore resorts which first prevailed; and to this day pilgrimages to the ocean front are made from every inland section during the warm months, the devotees travelling thousands of miles, and numbering hundreds of thousands of souls yearly, in gratification of this inherent desire.

Download or read book They Knew They Were Pilgrims written by John G. Turner and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ambitious new history of the Pilgrims and Plymouth Colony, published for the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower’s landing In 1620, separatists from the Church of England set sail across the Atlantic aboard the Mayflower. Understanding themselves as spiritual pilgrims, they left to preserve their liberty to worship God in accordance with their understanding of the Bible. There exists, however, an alternative, more dispiriting version of their story. In it, the Pilgrims are religious zealots who persecuted dissenters and decimated the Native peoples through warfare and by stealing their land. The Pilgrims’ definition of liberty was, in practice, very narrow. Drawing on original research using underutilized sources, John G. Turner moves beyond these familiar narratives in his sweeping and authoritative new history of Plymouth Colony. Instead of depicting the Pilgrims as otherworldly saints or extraordinary sinners, he tells how a variety of English settlers and Native peoples engaged in a contest for the meaning of American liberty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arising out of the context of the re-configuration of Europe, new perspectives are applied by the authors of this volume to the process of nation-building in the United States. By focusing on a variety of public celebrations and festivities from the Revolution to the early twentieth century, the formative period of American national identity, the authors reveal the complex interrelationships between collective identities on the local, regional, and national level which, over time, shaped the peculiar character of American nationalism. This volume combines vivid descriptions of various public celebrations with a sophisticated methodological and theoretical approach.

Book excerpt: International migration is often considered a relatively new development in world history. Yet, while there has been a surge in migration since World War II, the worldwide movement of peoples is a longstanding phenomenon. So, too, are the fundamental issues raised by immigration. How do immigrants fit into and affect the polity and society of the country they enter? What changes can or must the receiving state make to accomodate them? What changes in culture and ethnic indentity do immigrants undergo in their new environment? How do they relate to the mix of peoples already present in their new homeland What determines the policies that govern their reception and treatment? In this volume, expertly edited by a leading American political scientist-lawyer and a leading French historian, twenty-one renowned experts on immigration address these questions and a variety of other issues involving the experiences of immigrants in the city, at the workplace, and in schools and churches. Their essays examine the issues of nationality, citizenship, law, and politics that define the life of an immigrant population. Focusing on the United States and France, this voluem is a social history and a legal and public policy study that comprehensively portrays the dilemmas immigrants present and face.
