Histories Of Order And Empires, John Bowes
Histories Of Order And Empires, John Bowes
John P. Bowes
This is, at first glance, an odd pairing of books. One covers several centuries of Comanche history on the southern plains and the other focuses on the post-Revolution Ohio Valley. Pekka Hämäläinen explores a variety of anthropological and ethnohistorical sources to produce a wide-ranging analysis of Comanche internal and external life. David Andrew Nichols surveys the writings and records of citizens and politicians to bring more attention to the connections between national politics and local power struggles in the early American republic. Despite these apparent differences, however, both of these works have similar questions at their respective cores. Perhaps most …
The Marian Lawrence Peabody Diary: Digital Publication, Margaret Lowe
The Marian Lawrence Peabody Diary: Digital Publication, Margaret Lowe
Margaret Lowe
Appointed editor of the Marian Lawrence Peabody Diary (1878-1968) by the Massachusetts Historical Society, a Summer Grant would allow me to prepare the diary for digital publication. While I have completed extensive work for the printed edition, the MHS recently decided to co-publish the diary with a premier digital imprint (most likely the University of Virginia). As digital editor, I will supervise conversion to web format, write a new introduction, glosses and annotation, conduct archival research and collate ancillary materials, particularly Peabody's artwork. Digital publication will substantially expand the scope and length of the manuscript and allow for marketing to …

Restoring The Chain Of Friendship: British Policy And The Indians Of The Great Lakes, 1783-1815, John Bowes
Restoring The Chain Of Friendship: British Policy And The Indians Of The Great Lakes, 1783-1815, John Bowes
John P. Bowes
Over the past three decades scholars have examined the history of the Great Lakes region in the period covered by Timothy D. Willig in Restoring the Chain of friendship. Some of the most notable products of those efforts, including Colin Calloway's Crown and Calumet (1987), Richard White's The Middle Ground (1991), and Alan Taylor's The Divided Ground (2006), have laid an important foundation for our understanding of native peoples in this region and their negotiations with British and American policies and officials in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Willig acknowledges the contributions of these and other scholars but …

Enduring Nations: Native Americans In The Midwest, John Bowes
Enduring Nations: Native Americans In The Midwest, John Bowes
John P. Bowes
Enduring Nations is a collection that encompasses the work of twelve different scholars to highlight the ways in which the Native peoples of the states that once com- prised the Old Northwest Territory played critical roles in the history of the region, adapted to their changing world through successive waves of European and American colonialism, and persisted to the present-day. As David Edmunds notes in his introduction, just over 17 percent of all Native Americans currently reside within the states of the Great Lakes region. The contributors to this volume use a number of different historical events, individuals, and perspectives …
