Scouts look like a bunch of slobs these days

Excellent. Should be number 1!!!! Bring it back!

Thank you for this DELIGHTFUL biography!

Thank you for sharing your observations about this collection.

Wow! What stunning pieces from the MHS collection. I've embroidered all my life and can't begin to do the lovely details these young colonial girls did. The camera work was very well done so I could see the details of the stitchery. Wonderful presentation by Laura Sprague of positioning these pieces in daily life!

So, Minik lived in both his native culture and New York and decided when he was an adult to go back to New York of his own free will, where he appeared to be happy until he died. So, how is this "a very sad story", as you claim?

Not many people know about thjs document.

Wonderful video! Inspiring to see the level of care for such a varied collection and the commitment to share it with the public.

charles sumner got beaten with a horsewhip in the Senate in May 1859, by preston brooks. John Brown in Lawrence Kansas got the text a few weeks later. He kidnapped 5 leaders of proslavery orgs, and hacked them to death with broadswords. he left a painted message. "enslave deez nutz" (i may have made up the last part)

Great job! Wonderful inner look at what Historical Societies do to preserve our history!

Hey cuz good to see you

Interesting. Do you happen to know the location of his grave for a biography?

Dreadful noise accompaniment ruins video please delete.

Even though the fisheries are gone are the sardines still in Maine waters?

I love sardines. They are a very tasty and nutritional sustainable seafood. Cheers!

I got told recently to "get over it" as someone from S. Louisiana in a geneology forum by a descendents of one of the planters that clearly knew the history but didn't care and was "proud" of her history and refused to acknowledge the genocide that precipitated her family being able to get that land. Certainly, being American my family has been the recipient of land that was originally not theirs and I freely admit that. The idea that others can't see that is heart breaking to me. Also, growing up in S. Louisiana we read Evangeline in the context of the history. My grandmother talked about the history of her ancestors a lot. The history was as if it happened yesterday .... at least .... to me.

Beautiful! Every now and then, you can find an old square piano, left by its lonesome, in an old house for sale. So many pianos are going for free, these days! I feel sad about the fact that they are unwanted, now.

Amos Peters was a carriage driver and trusted friend to General Knox. He would drive General Knox to Washington to visit with George Washington. This is according to my family lore. The gentleman’s agreement was most likely. That Amos would always be his driver. My father Linwood Colpritt JR got this information from his mother. Who grew up as a little girl in Petersboro. There are ties to St. Kitts and a French sea captain as well. We are spread out now. But I can find anyone related to me. Because Colpritt was a fabricated name. The closest I can come is Colpit lake in Halifax Canada. I have lots of information on the subject. That you will never find online. Great work.

Thank you so very much☺️ Wonderful program, so happy to have listened to you this evening ♥️

i found Peters in my ancestry

He only had been lost 9 days and looked that rough. How awful.

Lovely piano.

I am now working on biographical information on the Wallace family. They had 2 other children (besides Willie) who died very young. Thank you for this video.

Good program.

That friggah's a Legend, Mr. man...

Does anyone a video of President Kennedy receiving an honorary degree from the University of Maine on November 11, 1963 and being told that in future he must stand and sing The Stein Song where ever in the world it is played. Think about the date...

Did he see any bobcats or lynx when lost for 9 days in the Maine wilderness?

Still the #1 song in our hearts!

I am a southern Hildreth, Thomas Hildreth was my 8th Great Grandfather.

Great presentation but I have just one criticism. The word significant was used too much it become a bit tough to listen to. The content was terrific I learned a great deal. Just that one criticism

This is a very good and interesting conversation, thank you for sharing this information

Ashley is amazing.

A couple of lesser points, that should be made clear. - Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie does not appear to have been "immediately translated" into French. The first French translation in North America apparently occurs in 1865. The first French translation in Europe is much earlier - 1851. - Ms. Pelletier's idea that the poem leaves the reader to perhaps conclude Gabriel and Evangeline were the last Acadians is somehow amiss. There are a number of references in the poem of the Acadians establishing themselves in Louisiana. Here is an example "Daughter, thy words are not idle; nor are they to me without meaning. Feeling is deep and still; and the word that floats on the surface Is as the tossing buoy, that betrays where the anchor is hidden. Therefore trust to thy heart, and to what the world calls illusions. Gabriel truly is near thee; for not far away to the southward, On the banks of the Teche, are the towns of St. Maur and St. Martin. There the long-wandering bride shall be given again to her bridegroom, There the long-absent pastor regain his flock and his sheepfold. Beautiful is the land, with its prairies and forests of fruit-trees; Under the feet a garden of flowers, and the bluest of heavens Bending above, and resting its dome on the walls of the forest. They who dwell there have named it the Eden of Louisiana." - It is inevitable that documents were lost and destroyed during the physical removal of the Acadians. There was not a purposeful destruction of land documents, in an effort to somehow dispossess the Acadians of their land. There were likely few records in the hands of the Acadians, as they were largely an illiterate people. Some of the local records, particularly church records, were thought to have been taken away by the Acadians. These were mostly lost afterward. The Grand Pré records provide a clear indication of Acadians secreting the records away. The Grand Pré records ended up in Louisiana and copies are available today. Annapolis Royal was the seat of the British colonial government of Nova Scotia until 1749. It was there land title records were lodged, land disputes arbitrated, etc. References to land surveys, ownership, and disputes are mentioned a number of times in the records of the Government in Council at Annapolis Royal. The British were not noted for destroying their own records. The final point about the Acadians lands is there was no need to destroy any records to hide ownership as much of the land was actually directly owned by the British crown. Not in the sovereign sense but actual title to. Most Acadians lived as tenant farmers on seigneurial lands. The British Crown had purchased Seigneurial titles. The deportation proclamation also made it clear the Acadians lands were forfeit. -There are several references in the video to the “Colony of Canada”. I suspect Ms. Pelletier is actually trying to make a reference that certain places mentioned are in what is Canada today. During the last half of the eighteenth-century and early nineteenth-century, a reference to Canada means the colony of the Province of Canada which today would encompass parts of Quebec and Ontario. Until the 1780s, what is today New Brunswick was part of the British colony of Nova Scotia. After the arrival of the Loyalist (not all of whom were soldiers) in the 1780s, the new colony of New Brunswick was created.

Had to pause the vid to handle some other things but i love it so far...im just worried that it falls in the same hole as so much of "black history". "Black's" history on this land "pre-dated" the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. As a southerner i were personally compelled to dig for these truths within our history because there had to be more than just a "slave trade". And there is!!! Much more!! There were tribes on that land (Maine) that looked very similar to myself and were shipped off of the land after fighting and not becoming a "friendly nation".....if we cannot start telling the truths of that particular era then we should leave every other subsequent lie that stems from a "covered" historical aspect alone. If we are to go into this history then please go "all of the way"👍🏾👍🏾

Such a wonderful lecture. Thank you so much for putting this out on You Tube. I have really enjoyed it. Beatrix Farrand was a remarkable lady.

What did they use to wrap the grafts before tape? Were they using waxed cloth?

I love this talk. I've been watching John Bunker's videos for an hour now. It's 12:32 am.

Then they all ate lobster and clam chowder

80 years later randomly appears in my suggestions...

I'm thinking where they will store or destroy all picked snow? Anybody know about it? I think in small rivers or sea... Where 🧐

Removal, instead of today's just shove it aside and make everyone who is parked have to dig themselves out.

Must be that modern day global warming! Oh Wait!

If they would remove snow like that in Portland it would make sense because it’s way more crowded now.
