"After surveying the culture of the Golden Age of the Netherlands, the author relates how enterprising Dutchmen explored the Hudson Valley, exploited its wealth in furs, and established permanent settlements of traders and farmers. For more than three centuries they have maintained a cultural tradition which is by no means extinct.

Stubborn Poetries is a study of poets whose work, because of its difficulty, apparent obduracy, or simple resistance to conventional explication, remains more-or-less firmly outside the canon. The focus of the essays in Stubborn Poetries by Peter Quartermain is on nonmainstream poets--often unknown, unstudied, and neglected writers whose work bucks preconceived notions of what constitutes the avant-garde. “Canonical Strategies and the Question of Authority: T.S. Eliot and William Carlos Williams” opens the collection and sounds a central theme: Quartermain argues that Williams, especially in his early work, soughtnoncanonical status, in contrast to Eliot, who rapidly identified his work with a literary and critical establishment. As is well known, Eliot attracted early critical and academic attention; Williams did not. Williams’s insistence that the personal and individual constituted his sole authority is echoed again and again in the work of the writers examined in the subsequent essays. In considering the question “What makes the poems the way they are?”most of the essays offer close readings (etymological, social, linguistic, and even political) of linguistically innovative twentieth-century poets. Linguistic innovation, as Marjorie Perloff and many other critics have shown, shows no reverence for national boundaries; two of the poets discussed are British (Basil Bunting and Richard Caddel) and two Canadian (Robin Blaser and Steve McCaffery). The last four essays in the book consider more general topics: the shape and nature of the book, the nature of poetic fact, the performance of the poem (is it possible to read a poem aloud well?), and--closing the book--an excursus (via the Greek myth of Io and the typography of Geofroy Tory) on the alphabet.

The Hudson Valley Dutch contributed to the American way of life and participated in the American Revolution in significant ways. This book presents a general account of those contributions, and its aim is to be useful to scholars as a summary of what is now known about the Hudson Valley Dutch, as the first coherent account of the developments of their way of life over the three and a half centuries from their first settlements to the present, and for its suggestion of numerous topics on which further research is needed. It is also written for general readers, ordinary people who are curious about how their home towns and their country have come to be as they are. Students of New York State history will be interested in the subject, as will descendants of Dutch families and Hudson Valley residents. The author has drawn on traditional scholarly resources, archives, museums, and interviews with descendants of Dutch settlers who have preserved documents and relics and shared memories of their ancestors.This book was jointly produced by the New York State American Revolution Bicentennial Commission and Syracuse University Press.

When New Brunswick became its own colony in 1784, the government concluded several peace treaties with the Mi'kmaq and Maliseet in the territory that protected First Nations lands. But as settlers, loyalists, and disbanded soldiers moved into New Brunswick, they moved onto the reserves, often without official sanction. This squatter problem led the New Brunswick government to pass an act in 1844 that allowed them to sell reserve land. Author Brian Cuthbertson explores the history of the defense of reserve lands by the Maliseet and Mi'kmaq of New Brunswick, from eighteenth-century peace treaties to the present. With reference to the 1844 act, Cuthbertson examines the legality of the sale of reserve lands using specific cases from Buctouche, Red Bank, Tobique, and Burnt Church and Eel Ground. Includes 60 images, including maps and contemporary paintings and sketches.

History of the early days around Port Aransas, a city in Nueces County, Texas, 180 miles southeast of San Antonio, the only established town on Mustang Island, which is located north of Padre Island and is one of the longest barrier islands along the Texas coast. Corpus Christi Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, the Lydia Ann Ship Channel and the Corpus Christi Ship Channel make up the surrounding waters. Fascinating reminiscences of a fishing pioneer.
