Extractions: Early Exploration Introduction In the beginning, North America and Canada did not exist... at least in the minds of Europeans. They knew of Cathay and of the rich trade possibilities there, but the ocean to the west was a barrier which seemed too vast to cross. When overland trade routes became blocked and the voyage around Africa was found to be long and dangerous, the European nations began to look westward for a shorter journey. Little did they know that they would discover a whole new world complete with its own unique peoples and riches. This section deals with the discovery and early explorations of Canada and the attempts by both the English and French to settle in and lay claim to the New World. It deals with the first encounters with the Native People and the fragile relationships which developed between the Natives and Europeans, and even among the Europeans themselves. It deals with the development of the fur trade which would effectively change Canada's history forever.

Extractions: Learning basic map locations by copying names of strange places onto a blank map from an atlas is not terribly meaningful. A better approach is to learn something about these places, then locate them on the map. Also, place the dates on a time line to see how Arctic exploration occurred over several years. Begin by thinking about why people bothered to explore the coldest place on earth. Adventure and challenge were reasons for some, but most were motivated by economic gain. The New World held promise for money from whaling and the fur trade. This potential motivated nations to fund expeditions into early North America. On a map, identify general areas of European conquest . The Spanish focused on the southern U.S., Gulf of Mexico, and South America. The French centered on the shores of Canada where the provinces of Quebec and Nova Scotia exist today. The English squeezed onto the coastline of the eastern United States and the far north. Draw lines on a map from European countries to illustrate regions of North America that were focused on by early Europeans. In the High Arctic, (the Arctic islands north of the main Canadian coastline), Europeans believed there was a Northwest Passage across North America to the Pacific and Orient. The search for this passage, however, was hindered by treacherous ice that crushed sailing ships, stranded sailors, and left them lost in an unknown land, poorly equipped with little knowledge and few skills essential for survival. Early sailors perished because of an ignorance about the severity of the cold climate, and expeditions were improperly equipped to spend any length of time in the Arctic.

Extractions: Although Sir Humphrey Gilbert was not involved directly in the Roanoke voyages, both he and members of his family participated in early Educated at Eton and at Oxford, Humphrey Gilbert also spent time in the household of Princess Elizabeth, who later became Queen Elizabeth. In 1562-63, he served under the Earl of Warwick at Le Havre and was wounded during the siege. Early interested in exploration, in 1566 he prepared A Discourcs of a Discoveries for a new Passage to Cataia [China] in which he urged the queen to seek a Northwest Passage to China because the known routes were controlled by the Spanish and the Portuguese. Both Martin Frobisher and John Davys were inspired by this work. Gilbert invested in Frobisher's 1576 voyage and Davys named Gilbert Sound, near Greenland, in his honor. Gilbert also served in Munster, Ireland, where in 1570 he was knighted by the Lord Deputy, Sir Henry Sidney. In 1571 he was elected to represent Plymouth in Parliament. In 1573 he presented the queen with a plan for Queen Elizabeth's Academy, which was to be a university in London to train the nobility and the gentry for the army and the navy. It was to be several centuries before there would be either a university in London or schools for military training. the exploration and colonization of the New World. On February 6, 1584, Adrian Gilbert obtained Letters Patent to continue the search for the Northwest Passage. And on March 25, 1584, Walter Ralegh obtained a Royal Patent to explore and colonize farther South. His expeditions to what is now North Carolina between 1584 and 1587 are known as the Roanoke Voyages.

Extractions: The later years of Elizabeth's reign also saw a long and expensive war in Ireland. English merchants were the main promoters of exploration and discovery. They wanted to buy the Oriental spices (cinnamon, peppers, cloves) that were needed to preserve and flavor meat in an age before refrigeration. (Salting and smoking were also used to preserve food, but these methods had a worse effect on taste). Spices could be obtained through Middle-Eastern middlemen, but they charged a massive mark-up that made the spices very expensive. Europeans therefore wanted to establish a direct sea-route to the Far East so that they could buy directly from China, India, and the East Indies.

Extractions: Hudson's Bay Company Archives (HBCA) One of the main reasons for the continued exploration of the New World was the search for the North West Passage. Europeans wanted an easier sailing route to the Orient. And the Strait of Magellan, at the southern tip of South America, was over six thousand miles out of the way. The quest for the North West Passage began in earnest in 1576 with the first expedition of Martin Frobisher (see map) . Three failed attempts by Frobisher spawned the voyages of the English captain, Henry Hudson, one of the most important explorers in Canadian history. His was the first ship to successfully navigate the waters of the Hudson River, which now bears his name. After returning to England he was commissioned in 1610 by a syndicate of English courtiers to try and chart the illusive North West Passage. During this, his final voyage, he would discover what is now known as Hudson Bay (see map) . However, after a long hard winter stranded in the ice his crew mutinied. They set him adrift with his young son and some faithful crew members. They were never seen again.

Here we study the spread of European culture to the Americas, particularly during colonial and early American periods, as seen through its archaeological sites and artifacts. This introduction entails a chronological and topical survey of the evolution of American civilization, covering Native American-European contact, early colonial sites, 18th-century society, and various selected topics. Emphasis will be on North America, and many examples will come from the northeast so that we can best make use of our own study collections for illustrations, although we will discuss other areas as well. Slide and video presentations will be frequent in this course, so be prepared to take good notes.

Extractions: Fall 2001 Purpose: The purpose of this course is to examine the emergence of the Modern World System in Early Modern England from a literary and cultural perspective. Modern World System is taken here to refer to the single, expanding world-scale economy that has become progressively more global in scope during the last four to six hundred years of human history. The course will focus on the cultural imaginary as a way of providing a foundation for the anthropological/archeological/historical examination of the Modern World System to be offered by Dr. Bruce Dickson in LBAR 204 in a subsequent semester. In a strict sense, the two courses can be said to replicate the long-standing scholarly divide between literature and history; but, in fact, the material presented in both semesters will complicate the relation between the two discourses. LBAR 203 will be divided into two principal sections, though each of these will be divided into further subsections. Section I Section II LBAR Course Index Section I: Encountering the Other This section of the course will focus primarily on late medieval and early modern narratives of travel, in which encounters with new lands and cultures are either imagined or described. Central to this examination will be a consideration of various material objects and technologies that played an important role in such encounters.
