The largest estuary in the world, the Gulf of St Lawrence is defined broadly by an ecology that stretches from the upper reaches of the St Lawrence River to the Gulf Stream, and by a web of influences that reach from the heart of the continent to northern Europe. For more than a millennium, the gulf's strategic location and rich marine resources have made it a destination and a gateway, a cockpit and a crossroads, and a highway and a home. From Vinland the Good to the novels of Lucy Maud Montgomery, the Gulf has haunted the Western imagination. A transborder collaboration between Canadian and American scholars, The Greater Gulf represents the first concerted exploration of the environmental history – marine and terrestrial – of the Gulf of St Lawrence. Contributors tell many histories of a place that has been fished, fought over, explored, and exploited. The essays' defining themes resonate in today's charged atmosphere of quickening climate change as they recount stories of resilience played against ecological fragility, resistance at odds with accommodation, considered versus reckless exploitation, and real, imagined, and imposed identities. Reconsidering perceptions about borders and the spaces between and across land and sea, The Greater Gulf draws attention to a central place and part of North Atlantic and North American history. Contributors include Rainer Baehre (Memorial University of Newfoundland), Jack Bouchard (Folger Institute), Claire Campbell (Bucknell University), Caitlin Charman (Memorial University of Newfoundland), Jack Little (Simon Fraser University), Edward MacDonald (University of Prince Edward Island), Matthew McKenzie (University of Connecticut), Suzanne Morton (McGill University), Brian Payne (Bridgewater State University), John G. Reid (St. Mary's University), and Daniel Soucier (University of Maine).
In this second edition of their classic text, Klyza and Trombulak use the lens of interconnectedness to examine the geological, ecological, and cultural forces that came together to produce contemporary Vermont. They assess the changing landscape and its inhabitants from its pre-human evolution up to the present, with special focus on forests, open terrestrial habitats, and the aquatic environment. This edition features a new chapter covering from 1995 to 2013 and a thoroughly revised chapter on the futures of Vermont, which include discussions of Tropical Storm Irene, climate change, eco-regional planning, and the resurgence of interest in local food and energy production. Integrating key themes of ecological change into a historical narrative, this book imparts specific information about Vermont, speculates on its future, and fosters an appreciation of the complex synergy of forces that shaped this region. This volume will interest scholars, students, and Vermonters intrigued by the state's long-term natural and human history.
Part genealogy and part history, this book tells the fascinating story of Marion Tiernan's family, emigrants from County Meath, Ireland, who arrived in northern New York in the 1820s. Among the earliest settlers of Waddington, Madrid, and Norfolk, their stories unfold with descriptions of their home parishes, journey to New York, and life on the frontier. Most of the families established farms in Saint Lawrence County, an area of subsistence farming that became an important dairy farming region. This book contains a deeper historical context and includes more neighboring families than the typical family history.Chapter 1 reviews County Meath's history up until 1800 when Marion's great-grandparents, Thomas Tiernan & Bridget Duffy, were born. Chapter 2 describes the economy and situation of Catholic tenant farmers. Chapter 3 describes the persecution of the Catholic Church following Cromwell's conquest and the gradual recovery of the church. Details for the home parishes of many of the families are given.Genealogical material begins in Chapter 4 with the Michael Duffy & Ann Cormick family, Marion's paternal great-great-grandparents. The Duffys and other families emigrated in the 1820s. Chapters 5 to 7 present the history of the St. Lawrence Region, frontier conditions in Waddington and Madrid, the ocean voyage, and travel on the St. Lawrence River. Chapters 8 and 9 cover neighboring families that immigrated at this time. Chapter 10 presents conditions and events in Ireland from 1820 to 1845, and Chapter 11 describes the years of the Great Famine. Chapter 12 returns to the genealogical material with the Thomas Tiernan & Bridget Duffy family. It includes a speculative account of their experience in Ireland leading up to the Great Famine. Chapters 13 to 21 cover the remaining families in Marion Tiernan's line in rough chronological order. The final chapter reveals Marion's own journey, from the Bellhurst Club in Geneva, New York, to Miami Beach, Lake Tahoe, and Carson City. Readers who are descendants of these families will discover their Irish roots, and family history researchers will profit from the broad picture of Irish settlement in Saint Lawrence County and numerous connections to Irish sources.
