Описание: Excavating the site of the factory has revealed that Bonnin and Morris produced bone porcelain some fifty years earlier than experts had previously believed it was manufactured in America. With wit and a keen eye, Hood examines the larger implications of the failure to establish a large-scale industry in the colonies.
Описание: The Boston Massacre occasioned a flurry of letter writing for Thomas Hutchinson, the royal governor of Massachusetts. So frequent was the correspondence to and from Hutchinson that this volume covers only the first ten months of 1770, beginning with the rising tide of violence in January and February as patriot leaders began to use increasingly coercive methods to enforce compliance with the nonimportation agreement. Prior to this edition, Hutchinson's letters, one of the best sources for Boston history in the decade and a half leading up to the Revolution, had never been published. Readers can now read a firsthand account of these tumultuous events from the rarely heard Loyalist viewpoint.

Описание:
The dates given in the title of this book are those found on the original book. These dates do not, however, represent the years in which the land sales, purchases, and deeds took place. In many cases, the actual deeds are dated much earlier - in some books as early as the late 1600s. Covers the counties of Essex, Middlesex, Monmouth and Somerset. Although Bergen County was a part of East New Jersey, the majority of their records for this period were recorded at the county courthouse. However, some Bergen Co. deeds are recorded here while others make references to Bergen Co. names within the deed's description.
Описание: In the wake of 9/11, the United States government rediscovered the value of culture in international relations, sending cultural ambassadors around the world to promote the American way of life. This is the most recent effort to use American culture as a means to convince others that the United States is a land of freedom, equality, opportunity, and scientific and cultural achievements to match its material wealth and military prowess. In The History of United States Cultural Diplomacy Michael Krenn charts the history of the cultural diplomacy efforts from Benjamin Franklin's service as commissioner to France in the 1770s through to the present day. He explores how these efforts were sometimes inspiring, often disastrous, and nearly always controversial attempts to tell the 'truth' about America. This is the first comprehensive study of America's efforts in the field of cultural diplomacy. It reveals a dynamic conflict between those who view U.S. culture as a means to establish meaningful dialogues with the rest of the world and those who consider American art, music, theater as additional propaganda weapons.

Описание: The second volume of Thomas Hutchinson's correspondence covers the years 1767 through 1769. In 1767, Charles Townshend's new taxes, in addition to his ambitious plans to improve customs enforcement and render crown officials in the colonies more independent of local assemblies, caused increasing resentment in Boston. To force Parliament to repeal the new legislation, Boston merchants adopted a comprehensive nonimportation agreement, which Hutchinson, in his position as lieutenant governor, regarded as an illegal confederacy devoid of any constitutional authority. Nevertheless, he and other royal officials proved powerless to stop its spread. To make matters worse, in October 1768, British troops arrived in Boston, at the instigation of Hutchinson's superior, Governor Francis Bernard. Hutchinson correctly foresaw that soldiers could be only an irritant and would be ineffective at preventing civil disorder. In August 1769, Bernard sailed for England, leaving Hutchinson as acting governor, with the unenviable challenge of dealing with mounting anger against the occupying troops and growing street violence designed to coerce unwilling importers into compliance with the merchants' agreement.Hutchinson's papers have always been among the most basic sources for historians writing about Boston in the 1760s and 1770s, and the publication of this volume is a valuable step toward making this content widely accessible.
Описание: Patrolling the Border focuses on a late eighteenth-century conflict between Creek Indians and Georgians. The conflict was marked by years of seemingly random theft and violence culminating in open war along the Oconee River, the contested border between the two peoples. Joshua S. Haynes argues that the period should be viewed as the struggle of nonstate indigenous people to develop an effective method of resisting colonization.Using database and digital mapping applications, Haynes identifies one such method of resistance: a pattern of Creek raiding best described as politically motivated border patrols. Drawing on precontact ideas and two hundred years of political innovation, border patrols harnessed a popular spirit of unity to defend Creek country. These actions, however, sharpened divisions over political leadership both in Creek country and in the infant United States. In both polities, people struggled over whether local or central governments would call the shots. As a state-like institution, border patrols are the key to understanding seemingly random violence and its long-term political implications, which would include, ultimately, Indian removal.
This work is concerned with important facts and incidents connected with the rise and progress of Methodism in New Jersey within the first twenty years of its history, along with sketches of most of the ministers of this period, and several of the more prominent and influential laymen. "The first of this sect, of whom we have any information, was John Early, a native of Ireland, where he was born in the year 1738. He immigrated to this country in 1764, and settled in New Jersey." But, it is the zealous Captain Thomas Webb (preaching as early as 1770) that must be credited with laying the foundation of Methodism in New Jersey, and inspiring the first class-reader, Joseph Toy. The early efforts of Bishop Asbury, the first conference of 1773 followed by subsequent conferences up to 1789, the first church, progress in Burlington and New Mills, Benjamin Abbott and Salem, brief sketches of preachers: Watters, Pillmore, Ivy, Tunnell, Everett, Rowe, Thomas, Spry, Ringold, Hickson, and Magary, and much more are covered. Adams, Borden, Brush, Chew, Cloud, Combs, Coke, Cook, Cooper, Cox, Crane, Cromwell, Duke, Dudley, Ellis, Fidler, Foster, Garrettson, Gill, Greentree, Haggerty, Heiser, Jackson, James, Lee, Merrick, Metcalf, Mills, Molliner, Morrell, Ogden, Partridge, Pedicord, Phoebus, Pyle, Sears, Shadford, Shaw, Sparks, Sterling, Swain, Walker, Ware, and Wesley are some of the many names that pepper these pages.
