This book was released on 1983 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Preliminary survey and excavation upon a British colonial farm site (20EM57) in Emmet County, Michigan, suggest that the remains of the John Askin Farm, hitherto known from historic documents only, has been found. Limestone masonry architecture is associated with a lone colonial component at the site. Intersite comparisons demonstrate that the farm was contemporaneous with the late British occupation of nearby Fort Michilimackinac (1774-1781) and was occupied by someone of wealth and privilege. The artifact assemblage is at variance with the Carolina and Frontier patterns generally associated with British settlements in North American [sic], but is remarkably similar to a "deviant" pattern known from British occupation of the Hepburn-Reonalds House in Brunswick Town, North Carolina."
Book Synopsis French Colonial Archaeology by : Illinois Historic Preservation Agency
Download or read book French Colonial Archaeology written by Illinois Historic Preservation Agency and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging book is the first to offer---in one volume---detailed results of many of the investigations of French colonial sites made in the mid-continent during the last decade. It includes work done at Fort St. Louis, Fort de Chartres, Fort Massac, French Peoria, Cahokia, Prairie du Pont, Prairie du Rocher, and other locations controlled by the French during a time when their dominance in North America was more than twice that of Britain and Spain combined. Five of the book's fifteen chapters summarize major excavations at colonial fortifications, four of which are public monuments that currently attract thousands of visitors each year. Another five chapters deal with French colonial villages, and the remainder of the book is devoted to diet, trade, the role of historic documents in the reconstruction of life on the French colonial frontier, and other topics.
Book Synopsis The Merchant John Askin by : Justin M. Carroll
Download or read book The Merchant John Askin written by Justin M. Carroll and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Askin, a Scots-Irish migrant to North America, built his fur trade between the years 1758 and 1781 in the Great Lakes region of North America. His experience serves as a vista from which to view important aspects of the British Empire in North America. The close interrelationship between trade and empire enabled Askin’s economic triumphs but also made him vulnerable to the consequences of imperial conflicts and mismanagement. The ephemeral, contested nature of British authority during the 1760s and 1770s created openings for men like Askin to develop a trade of smuggling liquor or to challenge the Hudson’s Bay Company’s monopoly over the fur trade, and allowed them to boast in front of British officers of having the “Key of Canada” in their pockets. How British officials responded to and even sanctioned such activities demonstrates the vital importance of trade and empire working in concert. Askin’s life’s work speaks to the collusive nature of the British Empire—its vital need for the North American merchants, officials, and Indigenous communities to establish effective accommodating relationships, transgress boundaries (real or imagined), and reject certain regulations in order to achieve the empire’s goals.
Book Synopsis Plants from the Past by : Leonard Watson Blake

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering a period of 30 years and tracing the development of the study of plant remains from archaeological sites, this volume gives archaeologists access to previously unavailable data and interpretations. It features the much-sought-after extensive inventory "Plants from Archaeological Sites East of the Rockies," which serves as a reference to archaeobotanical collections curated at the Illinois State Museum. The chapters dealing with protohistory and early historic foodways and trade in the upper Midwest are especially relevant at this time of increasing attention to early Indian-white interactions.

Book Synopsis Battle for the Soul by : Keith R. Widder
Download or read book Battle for the Soul written by Keith R. Widder and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 1999-04-30 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1823 William and Amanda Ferry opened a boarding school for Métis children on Mackinac Island, Michigan Territory, setting in motion an intense spiritual battle to win the souls and change the lives of the children, their parents, and all others living at Mackinac. Battle for the Soul demonstrates how a group of enthusiastic missionaries, empowered by an uncompromising religious motivation, served as agents of Americanization. The Ferrys' high hopes crumbled, however, as they watched their work bring about a revival of Catholicism and their students refuse to abandon the fur trade as a way of life. The story of the Mackinaw Mission is that of people who held differing world views negotiating to create a "middle-ground," a society with room for all. Widder's study is a welcome addition to the literature on American frontier missions. Using Richard White's "middle ground" paradigm, it focuses on the cultural interaction between French, British, American, and various native groups at the Mackinac mission in Michigan during the early 19th century. The author draws on materials from the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions archives, as well as other manuscript sources, to trace not only the missionaries' efforts to Christianize and Americanize the native peoples, but the religious, social, and cultural conflicts between Protestant missionaries and Catholic priests in the region. Much attention has been given to the missionaries to the Indians in other areas of the US, but little to this region.

Book Synopsis Army and Empire by : Michael Norman McConnell
Download or read book Army and Empire written by Michael Norman McConnell and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the Seven Years? War found Britain?s professional army in America facing new and unfamiliar responsibilities. In addition to occupying the recently conquered French settlements in Canada, redcoats were ordered into the trans-Appalachian west, into the little-known and much disputed territories that lay between British, French, and Spanish America. There the soldiers found themselves serving as occupiers, police, and diplomats in a vast territory marked by extreme climatic variation?a world decidedly different from Britain or the settled American colonies. Going beyond the war experience, Army and Empire examines the lives and experiences of British soldiers in the complex, evolving cultural frontiers of the West in British America. From the first appearance of the redcoats in the West until the outbreak of the American Revolution, Michael N. McConnell explores all aspects of peacetime service, including the soldiers? diet and health, mental well-being, social life, transportation, clothing, and the built environments within which they lived and worked. McConnell looks at the army on the frontier for what it was: a collection of small communities of men, women, and children faced with the challenges of surviving on the far western edge of empire.
