‘We Are Well as We Are’
Social and demographic data are sparse for the first half of the eighteenth century, but available evidence indicates that the principal characteristics of "signareship" must have evolved during the long period of uninterrupted French occupation of Saint-Louis and Goree prior to 1758. One of the informative sources on signares'marriage patterns is Geoffroy de Villeneuve, who made two voyages to Senegal in 1785-88 and learned Wolof during the two …

Other Countries, Other Maps
Of all the images available to represent the historian's task, one of the most attractive is the picture of a traveler mapping a complex landscape. The country of the past is filled with terrain features. Historians as travelers and cartographers make sense by selecting and interpreting certain landforms and their relationships one to the other. And like any exploring party, it is the planning and expectations before the journey that will make so…

Dreams and Discoveries
M ARCH io, i805, found the Corps of Northwestern Discovery, the official name for the Lewis and Clark expedition, huddled behind the log walls of Fort Mandan. The palisade sheltered the exploring party from sharp winds howling down the Dakota plains. On that bitter cold day Capt. William Clark took time to perform one of the many duties assigned by President Thomas Jefferson. Clark listened patiently while Black Cat, headman of the Nuptadi Mandan…

Generations of Faith
IN New England there was an Indian king that said he saw that there were many of their people of the Indians turned to the New England professors. He said they were worse since than they were before they left their own religion. And an Indian said, before the English came, that a white people should come in a great thing of the sea, and their people should be loving to them and receive them; but if they did hurt or wrong the white people, they wo…
The Sillery Experiment
The Age of Discovery brought to western Christianity a missionary challenge of epic proportions.

By the seventeenth century the frontier of the Christian mission stretched from China to Paraguay, and from Mexico City to Quebec. On that frontier the Society of…

Europeans who came to America from the sixteenth century on, came not to discover a new world but to re-create their own versions of Europe.

Of all those who made such plans, it was the Society of Jesus that had sufficient authority and manpower to put its visions into practice. Jesuits who came to N…

Who's the Savage? A Documentary History of the Mis-Treatment of the Native North Americans
The Death of John Sassamon
In the years before extensive European contact, 25,000 Algonkianspeaking Indian peoples inhabited the woodlands and coastal plains of south and central New England. By 1680, after sixty years of contact, only 14,000 native Americans remained, whereas the number of white settlers had soared to nearly 66,000. Tribal warfare, injury, and familiar diseases claimed many Indian lives in those years, but in this instance the bitter conflict known as Kin…

When the Corps of Discovery left the vicinity of St. Louis in 1804 to explore the American West, they had only sketchy knowledge of the terrain that they were to cross-existing maps often contained large blank spaces and wild inaccuracies. William Clark painstakingly mapped every mile of the journey, drawing from both direct observation and from the reports of Indians and a few fur traders. On their return Lewis and Clark directed the execution o…
