Book excerpt: The author, Henry G. Dorr, was an American "Trader Horn" of sorts; a world traveler at a young age. In 1862 he joined the Union army and fought in 26 Civil War engagements. He was taken prisoner, released, and eventually retired to the Massawepie Lake region in the Adirondack mountains. His tales stem from personal experience and Adirondack folklore.A writer who can transport the reader into the past, is oftentimes more enlightening than the historian. Faithful to the 1921 original edition, Mohawk Peter is a great read. Have a "Look Inside".

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mohawk Peter: Legends of the Adirondacks and Civil War Memories Henry G. Dorr's life of more than four score years has covered many interesting and unusual events. As a young man, not as yet out of his teens, having chosen to engage in business rather than enter college, he sailed on the Samuel Appleton from New York bound for Hong Kong. He was not destined to reach Cathay: the long voyage was interrupted by rough weather off the Cape of Good Hope and the ship was obliged to put into Port Elizabeth in Algoa Bay. Opportunity seemed to offer for an enterprising Yankee in the Cape Colony and he remained there for two years and a half. On one occasion, in July, 1859, while making a pleasure-trek with an acquaintance into the country, he picked up an odd-looking pebble in the bed of an arroyo on the bank of which he was camping for the night. Later a jeweler recognized it as a diamond in the rough. Out of this incident might have developed a train of sequences which would have changed history. He had discovered the diamond-fields of South Africa, and if it had not been for the sudden death of one of his friends in London the two might have returned to the Cape Colony provided with ample funds to make explorations and exploit the mines which have since provided the world with half a billion dollars' worth of precious stones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries the history of the Mohawk Valley has been shaped by the complex relationships among the valley’s native inhabitants, the Mohawk Indians, and its colonists, starting with the Dutch. In Mohawk Country collects for the first time the principal documentary narratives that reveal the full scope of this Mohawk-settler interaction. Some of the sources have never before been translated into English, and several have not been previously published. Of those works that had been published, nearly all are out of print. The Mohawk location near Albany, New York put them at the center of transactions between the Iroquois and European colonists. (The Mohawk were one of the constituent nations within the League of the Iroquois.) These narratives-written by Dutch merchants, French Jesuit missionaries, English soldiers, romantic European travelers, and other literate observers-provide often biased but always fascinating accounts of the Mohawk and their valley. The reader is treated to over two centuries of history, starting with the arrival of the Dutch in the early seventeenth century to the planning of the Erie Canal in the early nineteenth century. These records bring to life the rapid changes experienced by both the Mohawk and their European neighbors. Wars, catastrophic epidemics, and the diplomacy of nearly two centuries are all well represented in this volume. Fascinating cultural differences are also unearthed: the French, for example, dealt with the Mohawk much differently than the Dutch or the English. Just as importantly, these writings reveal—from the unique perspectives of the observer—the Mohawk’s struggle to retain their culture in the midst of evolving political, social, and physical environments.

Download or read book Challenging Colonial Narratives written by Matthew A. Beaudoin and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging Colonial Narratives demonstrates that the traditional colonial dichotomy may reflect an artifice of the colonial discourse rather than the lived reality of the past. Matthew A. Beaudoin makes a striking case that comparative research can unsettle many deeply held assumptions and offer a rapprochement of the conventional scholarly separation of colonial and historical archaeology. To create a conceptual bridge between disparate dialogues, Beaudoin examines multigenerational nineteenth-century Mohawk and settler sites in southern Ontario, Canada. He demonstrates that few obvious differences exist and calls for more nuanced interpretive frameworks. Using conventional categories, methodologies, and interpretative processes from Indigenous and settler archaeologies, Beaudoin encourages archaeologists and scholars to focus on the different or similar aspects among sites to better understand the nineteenth-century life of contemporaneous Indigenous and settler peoples. Beaudoin posits that the archaeological record represents people’s navigation through the social and political constraints of their time. Their actions, he maintains, were undertaken within the understood present, the remembered past, and perceived future possibilities. Deconstructing existing paradigms in colonial and postcolonial theories, Matthew A. Beaudoin establishes a new, dynamic discourse on identity formation and politics within the power relations created by colonization that will be useful to archaeologists in the academy as well as in cultural resource management.
