1995-96 Women's Basketball Media Guide, Maine Sports Information Office

General University of Maine Publications

The University of Maine simply dominated games at times last season and there are plenty of reasons why 1995-96 can be a repeat performance. First, Cindy Blodgett, a 5-foot-9 guard, who finished 31st in the nation and second among first-year players in scoring, returns for three more years. She averaged 20.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.3 steals per game while earning Kodak District I All-American and North Atlantic Conference Rookie of the Year honors last season.

Second, UMaine’s other two All-Conference selections, 6-4 Stacey Porrini, and 6-0 Stephanie Guidi will also be back in 1995-96. In fact, four of five …

A Source For Stowe's Ideas On Race In "Uncle Tom's Cabin", Josephine Donovan

English Faculty Scholarship

Harriet Beecher Stowe's treatment of race in Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852) and the colonization scheme with which she ends the novel have long been its most controversial features. Colonization was a term then in use for returning African Americans to Africa as a solution to the race/slavery problem. Stowe concludes Uncle Tom's Cabin by sending most of the surviving black characters—George, Eliza, their children, George's sister Emily, and Eliza's mother, Cassy to Africa where George dreams of founding a Christian republic. In a lengthy letter George explains his colonizationist ambitions: "On the shores of Africa I see a republic." "I …

Maine Migrations: Arthur And Harold Sewall In The Pacific, Paul Burlin

Maine History

The Sewall family of Bath, with a long tradition in Maine shipbuilding helped shape America’s expansionist Pacific vision at the turn of the century. Arthur Sewall, a vice-presidential candidate in 1896, articulated a policy of protectionism, territorial expansion in the Pacific, and free coinage of silver. Harold Sewall, consul general to Samoa and minister to Hawaii, was equally expansionist. Father and son, one a Democrat and the other a Republican, shared an understanding that events around the world had an immediate impact on hometown life in coastal Maine.

“The Acquisition Of Wealth, Or Of A Comfortable Subsistence”: The Census Of 1800 And The Yankee Migration To Maine, 1760-1825, James A. Eves

Maine History

In 1800 census-takers George Haliburton of Penobscot and Samuel Cony of Hallowell exceeded their official instructions and appended to their reports information about residents’ places of origin. This unusual addition to the rather limited census of 1800 offers insight into early migrations to the Penobscot, Kennebec, and Androscoggin valleys. Using this as a base, Jamie Eves takes a new look at New England's internal migration patterns and reevaluates the motives and meaning of the pioneering process in this formative period in Maine’s history.

Elihu B. Washburne Westward Migration In Antebellum America, Timothy B. Mahoney

Maine History

In the spring of 1840 Elihu B. Washburne (he added the “e” to his last name early in life) set out from New England to seek his fortune in the “wide, wide world. ” Eventually the young Harvard educated lawyer settled in Galena, Illinois, where other New Englanders were already shaping the fluid and diverse western society according to their own notions of genteel civilization. A representative New England migrant, Washburne participated in the creation of a self-conscious, regional middle class, with its own sense of gentlemanly conduct, its own definition of gentility, and its own aspirations for egalitarian interaction.

Navigating Women: Exploring The Roles Of Nineteenth-Century New England Sailing Wives, Constance Anne Fournier

Maine History

By the mid-nineteenth century hundreds of New England women were living abroad the nation’s whaling and merchant vessels, spending months — even years - at sea. For these intrepid women, managing a family proved difficult, and the isolation from female society was trying. Yet life at sea freed them from some of the traditional forms of domestic work and allowed them to experiment with new roles – teaching, preaching, navigating, keeping logs, and at times tempering their husbands' harsh shipboard justice.
