Описание: This extensive genealogical history covers all branches of the Dwight family, male and female, spanning 240 years from the family's first settlement in this country in c.1640. The author has gathered and compiled biographical and historical details from aged members of the family, family records, town records, town histories, personal memoirs and general histories. "The number of names recorded in the work...will be some 10,000 or more. Large accounts will be found in it of various related families, of such names as Cabot, Chapin, Child, Clark, Dana, Dewey, Foster, Graves, Hall, Hamlin, Hooker, Howe, Kellogg, Kent, King, Lathrop, Loomis, Lyman, Partridge, Porter, Pynchon, Ripley, Sanford, Sedgwick, Southmayd, Strong, Taylor, Terry, Whitney, Willard, Woodbury and Woolsey." Individual chapters are devoted to the history of the English Dwights, Timothy Dwight of Medfield, John Dwight of Dedham and Timothy Dwight of Dedham. Descendants are grouped under Justice Nathaniel Dwight, Rev. Josiah Dwight, Capt. Henry Dwight, Michael Dwight, and the Shirley Dwights. The author also touches on families having assumed the Dwight name, sporadic occurrences of the name, and collateral genealogies of connected families. Several biographical sketches are provided. Genealogical entries list (as available): dates of birth, marriage, and death; name of spouse with like data; and, a list of children with their birth and death dates. Supplemental biographical information varies by entry. Numerous portraits, the Dwight Coat of Arms, the Stoddard Coat of Arms, and three indices (a surname index of briefly connected families, a full-name index of Dwight surnames, and a general full-name index) round out this work.
The geographic names on the Atlantic seaboard were in use for more than a century before the war of the American Revolution was fought.
Just as that war was beginning the first Spanish caravels crept northward from New Spain toward the fabled Straits of Anian. After the war was ended the wild coasts along the Pacific were a lure for the explorer and the fur trader. Voyages of this kind increased, breeding disputes over sovereignty, which culminated in Great Britain's geographic and diplomatic expedition of 1792.The commanding officer, Captain George Vancouver of the Royal Navy, was the friend and acquaintance of many men who had taken part for their country in the disputes and the war with the American colonies. It was perfectly natural that he should compliment those men as he discovered or rediscovered places that needed naming. An explorer of the same nationality, but of an earlier or a later period, would, of course, have given us a different set of names famous in British history.The American who loves the history of his country is usually broad enough to love also the great achievements of his kin beyond the seas. He therefore not only tolerates but actually grows fond of such names as Hood, Howe, Rainier, Puget, and Vancouver, as applied to the geography of the northwest. from the Introduction.

Описание: Defining M?tis examineds categories used in the latter half of the nineteenth century by Catholic missionaries to describe Indigenous people in what is now northwestern Saskatchewan. It argues that the construction and evolution of these categories reflected missionaries' changing interests and agendas.Defining M?tis sheds light on the earliest phases of Catholic missionary work among Indigenous peoples in western and northern Canada. It examines various interrelated aspects of this work, including the beginings of residential schooling, transportation and communications and relations between the Church, the Hudson's Bay Company and the federal government.While focusing on the the Oblates of Mary Immaculate and their central mission at Ile-?-la-Crosse, this study illuminates broad processes that informed Catholic missionary perceptions and impelled their evolution over a fifty-three-year period. In particular, this study illuminates processes that shaped Oblate conceptions of sauvage and m?tis. It does this through a qualitative analysis of documents that were produced within the Oblates' institutional apparatus—offical correspondence, mission journals, registers, and published reports.Foran challenges the orthodox notion that Oblate commentators simply discovered and described a singular, empirically exisiting, and readily identifiable M?tis population. Rather, he contends that Oblates played an important role in the conceptual production ofles m?tis.
