Book excerpt: Despite the relative obscurity surrounding the earliest English settlements in Newfoundland, the documents in this volume show that they were neither unimportant, nor, ultimately, unsuccessful. Unlike the sites of other English colonies founded in the New World in the early 17th century, Newfoundland had an already-established economic base - the flourishing fishery for cod in which European fishermen had engaged for over a century. Settlement, from its beginnings in 1610, was closely tied to the exploitation of the fishery. But fishing was not the only occupation; the early settlers searched for iron and tried to grow food, to make glass and soap, and to establish a trade in furs with the indigenous Beothuk Indians. Keenly aware of their new and often hostile environment, the colonists recorded their impressions of the island's geography, climate, resources, and people, as well as their own struggle to survive. Some of their earliest letters are printed in this collection. In the third decade of the century, the first wave of settlers sent by the Newfoundland company were followed by a second despatched by independent proprietors: the Welshmen, William Vaughan, the courtier, Lord Baltimore, and the lord deputy of Ireland, Lord Falkland. Their correspondence and the writings of their publicists reveal not only their idiosyncratic reasons for involvement in Newfoundland, but also place the island and its fishery firmly in the context of their economic and strategic significance to England. In the works of Richard Whitbourne, reprinted here for the first time, are to be found the most complete statements of the value and practice of the fishery and the international trade in fish, together with vividly detailed descriptions of the island with which a lifetime connection had bred a loving obsession.

Download or read book Place Names of the Avalon Peninsula of the Island of Newfoundland written by E. R. Seary and published by Heritage. This book was released on 1971-12 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at history through a broad, systematic study of the place names of one of the first European settlements in North America. It is rich in quotations from old literature, and it delves into the origins of such evocative names as Butter Pot, Burst Heart Hill, and Mistaken Point. The first nine chapters form an historical and analytical introduction. This section is followed by two bibliographies -- one of maps, the other of texts -- and a gazetteer and index which lists the situation, description, chronological citations, and other relevant data for each place name. This construction enables Dr. Seary to evaluate the source materials, cartographic and textual, then relate them to phases of discovery, settlement, and social history, and to examine in detail the more significant names and name-groups within the historical context, without loss of simplicity or speed in the mechanics of lexicographic reference. This lucidly constructed, elegantly presented work lays a methodological foundation not only for the study of Newfoundland toponymy but for that of other parts of North America as well. It is not confined to the narrow field of toponymy, but it is a useful contribution to the human geography and local history of Newfoundland, and to the history of the seventeenth and eighteenth century cartography of the province. The text is enhanced by distribution maps showing place names of different linguistic or ethnic origin and by facsimile reproductions of two seventeenth century maps.

Download or read book Bridging the Early Modern Atlantic World written by Caroline A. Williams and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridging the Early Modern Atlantic World brings together ten original essays by an international group of scholars exploring the complex outcomes of the intermingling of people, circulation of goods, exchange of information, and exposure to new ideas that are the hallmark of the early modern Atlantic. Spanning the period from the earliest French crossings to Newfoundland at the beginning of the sixteenth century to the end of the wars of independence in Spanish South America, c. 1830, and encompassing a range of disciplinary approaches, the contributors direct particular attention to regions, communities, and groups whose activities in, and responses to, an ever-more closely bound Atlantic world remain relatively under-represented in the literature. Some of the chapters focus on the experience of Europeans, including French consumers of Newfoundland cod, English merchants forming families in Spanish Seville, and Jewish refugees from Dutch Brazil making the Caribbean island of Nevis their home. Others focus on the ways in which the populations with whom Europeans came into contact, enslaved, or among whom they settled - the Tupi peoples of Brazil, the Kriston women of the west African port of Cacheu, among others - adapted to and were changed by their interactions with previously unknown peoples, goods, institutions, and ideas. Together with the substantial Introduction by the editor which reviews the significance of the field as a whole, these essays capture the complexity and variety of experience of the countless men and women who came into contact during the period, whilst highlighting and illustrating the porous and fluid nature, in practice, of the early modern Atlantic world.
