  • Deconstructing the Laughing Magician

    Open AccessThomas J BrownARTICLELeaves2021

    For more than two decades, DC/Vertigo’s Hellblazer with protagonist John Constantine stood out from its contemporaries by confronting mature content, utilizing poignant criticism, and subverting audience expectations. Throughout the series, various creative teams allowed Constantine to engage with a mostly realistic world while growing and changing in response to societal evolution. This article analyzes Hellblazer’s examination of contemporary s…

  • Iconoclasm and the Monumental Presence of the Civil War

    Thomas J BrownARTICLEThe Journal of the Civil War Era2021

    Iconoclasm and the Monumental Presence of the Civil War Thomas J. Brown (bio) Events have moved swiftly since I finished my slow work on Civil War Monuments and the Militarization of America. During the eight years after the killing of Trayvon Martin in February 2012, twenty-seven communities in the South removed thirty-seven free-standing outdoor Confederate monuments, mostly during the period between the Charleston massacre of June 2015 and the…

  • Bayesian assessment of northern Alaskan chronological issues

    Open AccessThomas J Brown, Shelby Anderson et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Island and Coastal…2021Citada por: 3Referências: 6

    Cultural interaction and exchange across the Bering Strait of northern Alaska played a central role in the emergence of Arctic maritime adaptations. Yet poor chronological control limits our ability to explore processes of cultural change over the last 5000 years. We address this problem by synthesizing the available radiocarbon record for the region, carrying out Bayesian analysis of a regional radiocarbon database, and analyzing the BAR-1 (Birn…

  • S hannon B ontrager . Death at the Edges of Empire

    Open AccessThomas J BrownARTICLEThe American Historical Review2021

    Shannon Bontrager’s monograph, Death at the Edges of Empire: Fallen Soldiers, Cultural Memory, and the Making of an American Nation, 1863–1921, is a valuable contribution to the literature on military commemoration and especially the physical disposition and political deployment of the remains of dead soldiers. Bontrager’s distinctive emphasis is the place of these bodies in the cultural construction of American empire. He argues that the memoria…

  • Swedish Migration, Naval Militarism, and Industrial Modernity

    Thomas J Brown, Svea LarsonARTICLEWinterthur Portfolio2020

    Early transatlantic memorialization of John Ericsson portrayed the designer of the Civil War ironclad Monitor as a symbol of Swedish migration, naval preparedness, and industrial society. The campaign for a monument in Washington, DC, revealed divisions among Swedish Americans and tensions with the federal bureaucracy and Swedish monarchy amid the upheavals of World War I. After the failure of efforts to integrate the Ericsson Memorial with the n…

  • Civil War Monuments and the Militarization of America

    Thomas J BrownBOOKCivil War Monuments and the…2019

    This sweeping new assessment of Civil War monuments unveiled in the United States between the 1860s and 1930s argues that they were pivotal to a national embrace of military values. Americans' wariness of standing armies limited construction of war memorials in the early republic, Thomas J. Brown explains, and continued to influence commemoration after the Civil War. As large cities and small towns across the North and South installed an astonish…

  • Synthesis and analysis of the Early to Middle Holocene radiocarbon record for the Northern Northwest Coast of North America

    Thomas J Brown, Kenneth M AmesARTICLEThe Journal of Island and Coastal…2019Citada por: 1Referências: 23

    The Northern Northwest Coast of North America has consistently been an epicenter of hunter-gatherer research, but attention has focused on the period after 5000 cal BP. Using data largely produced within the past 12 years, we present the first synthesis and analysis of this region’s 14C record between ∼11000 and 5000 cal BP. Our analysis produced two primary findings (i) that the number of dated sites does not increase or decrease significantly d…

  • Building Washington

    Open AccessThomas J BrownARTICLEJournal of American History2019

    Building Washington is a meticulously detailed account of the early construction of the capital city. After an introduction that reviews the decision to place the capital on the Potomac River, the first chapter briefly summarizes Pierre L'Enfant's famous plan for the layout of the city and thoroughly examines his construction plan for the project. The next two chapters look at the financial difficulties surrounding the undertaking and the challen…

  • The Radiocarbon Record of the Western Stemmed Tradition on the Southern Columbia Plateau of Western North America

    Open AccessThomas J Brown, Daniel M Gilmour et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity2019Citada por: 8Referências: 35

    The late Pleistocene-early Holocene archaeological record of the interior Pacific Northwest is dominated by what has been regionally referred to as the Western Stemmed Tradition (WST). While various efforts have attempted to clarify the chronology of this tradition, these have largely focused on data from the Great Basin and have been disproportionately preoccupied with establishing the beginning of the tradition due to its temporal overlap with …

  • Radiocarbon test for demographic events in written and oral history

    Open AccessKevan Edinborough, Marko Porčić et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2017

    Significance Indigenous oral traditions remain a very controversial source of historical knowledge in Western scientific, humanistic, and legal traditions. Likewise, demographic models using radiocarbon-based simulation methods are controversial. We rigorously test the historicity of indigenous Tsimshian oral records ( adawx ) using an extended simulation-based method. Our methodology is able to detect short-duration (1–2 centuries) demographic e…

  • Assessing the Scale and Pace of Large Shell-Bearing Site Occupation in the Prince Rupert Harbour Area, British Columbia

    Bryn Letham, Andrew Martindale et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Island and Coastal…2017Citada por: 3Referências: 18

    Methodological advancements in geoarchaeology and spatial and chronological modeling are opening new avenues to interpreting large coastal shell-bearing sites. We document the developmental histories of two such sites around Prince Rupert Harbour, Canada, using systematic percussion coring, intensive radiocarbon dating, and 3D surface mapping with Total Station and LiDAR. We also re-analyze a third site (Boardwalk/GbTo-31) excavated and radiocarb…

  • Civil War Canon

    Thomas J BrownARTICLEJournal of American History2016

    In this expansive history of South Carolina's commemoration of the Civil War era, Thomas Brown uses the lens of place to examine the ways that landmarks of Confederate memory have helped white southerners negotiate their shifting political, social, and economic positions. By looking at prominent sites such as Fort Sumter, Charleston's Magnolia Cemetery, and the South Carolina statehouse, Brown reveals a dynamic pattern of contestation and change.…

  • Reconstructions

    Thomas J BrownBOOKReconstructions2006

    The pivotal era of Reconstruction has inspired an outstanding historical literature. In the half-century after W.E.B. DuBois published Black Reconstruction in America (1935), a host of thoughtful and energetic authors helped to dismantle racist stereotypes about the aftermath of emancipation and Union victory in the Civil War. The resolution of long-running interpretive debates shifted the issues at stake in Reconstruction scholarship, but the to…
