SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Rustic Warrior by Dr. Steven Eames
DESCRIPTION:The early French Wars (1689-1748) in North America saw provincial soldiers\, or British white settlers\, in Massachusetts and New Hampshire fight against New France and her Native American allies with minimal involvement from England. Most British officers and government officials viewed the colonial soldiers as ill-disciplined\, unprofessional\, and incompetent: General John Forbes called them “a gathering from the scum of the worst people.” \nTaking issue with historians who have criticized provincial soldiers’ battlefield style\, strategy\, and conduct\, Steven Eames demonstrates that what developed in early New England was in fact a unique way of war that selectively blended elements of European military strategy\, frontier fighting\, and native American warfare. This new form of warfare responded to and influenced the particular challenges\, terrain\, and demography of early New England. Drawing upon a wealth of primary materials on King William’s War\, Queen Anne’s War\, Dummer’s War\, and King George’s War\, Eames offers a bottom-up view of how war was conducted and how war was experienced in this particular period and place. Throughout Rustic Warriors\, he uses early New England culture as a staging ground from which to better understand the ways in which New Englanders waged war\, as well as to provide a fuller picture of the differences between provincial\, French\, and Native American approaches to war. \nAbout Dr. Eames:\nDr. Steven C. Eames spent thirty-five years as a professor of history. His research interest focuses on the impact of war on people both soldiers and civilians. His published works include Sacrifice of Self: Nahant and the Civil War (won the American Association for State and Local History Award of Merit and Albert B. Corey Award\, also an award for the New England Museum Association)\, and Rustic Warriors: Warfare and the Provincial Soldier on the New England Frontier\, 1689-1748. \nThis presentation is being presented from 1:00pm to 2:30pm on Friday\, November 19th and is included as part of standard admission to the American Heritage Museum.
