Professor Jere Daniell’s Insights, Navigation Acts, Culpepper, and New Hampshire Heroes

Jere Daniell is a legend in the Upper Valley as an unbeliveable resource regarding many things- he is encyclopedic in his knowledge of Colonial America. Pip enjoyed a lunch with Jere yesterday and got schooled! Part of our interest was in the Navigation Acts.Yes, 60 of them designed to tax Americans for their intra colonial trade in goods and services.

The Navigation Acts-  1650-1696

The Navigation Acts were passed by the English Parliament in the seventeenth century. The Acts were originally aimed at excluding the Dutch from the profits made by English trade. The mercantilist theory behind the Navigation Acts assumed that world trade was fixed and the colonies existed for the parent country. http://thenagain.info/webchron/usa/navigation.html

Back to The Colonial Era Chronology

The Navigation Acts of 1660 and 1696 restricted American trade in the following ways;

1. Only British ships could transport imported and exported goods from the colonies.
2. The only people who were allowed to trade with the colonies had to be British citizens.
3. Commodities such as sugar, tobacco, and cotton wool which were produced in the colonies could be exported only to British ports.

But also part of our shared interest was in the Culpepper Rebellion of 1677 in North Carolina. An early hero of the American Revolution….

Culpeper’s Rebellion (1677-79), was an early popular uprising against proprietary rule in the Albemarle section of northern Carolina, caused by the efforts of the proprietary government to enforce the British Navigation Acts. These trade laws denied the colonists a free market outside England and placed heavy duties on commodities.The colonists’ resentment found an object in the deputy governor, Thomas Miller, who was also customs collector. Led by John Culpeper and George Durant, the rebels imprisoned Miller and other officials, convened a legislature of their own, chose Culpeper governor, and for two years capably exercised all powers and duties of government. Culpeper was finally removed by the proprietors and tried for treason and embezzlement but was never punished.

Books About New Hampshire

Table of Contents        Title Index

The New Hampshire State Library first published Books About New Hampshire in 1946. Updated editions were published in 1955, 1962, 1965 and 1969. In 1979 the New Hampshire Department of Education published New Hampshireiana: Books of New Hampshire 1969-1979. This brochure continued the work begun by the State Library in 1946. Entries in New Hampshireiana were obtained from the “New Hampshire Books” column in each issue of Granite State Libraries. This column, by Eleanor O’Donnell of the State Library, showcases new books about New Hampshire or by New Hampshire authors. The column is still being published in Granite State Libraries.

This publication incorporates most of the information in the earlier Books About New Hampshire and New Hampshireiana plus the “New Hampshire Books” column through mid 1999. In editing and organizing the material, I have purposely excluded certain types of books. Listed below are the types of books generally NOT included in this bibliography:

General histories of New Hampshire Town histories Genealogies Travel guides

Regimental histories Books about New England Local cookbooks Government documents

Do not consider this guide to be a comprehensive bibliography of all books about New Hampshire. However, it should be helpful to people interested in New Hampshire literature.

Dartmouth Winter Carnival: 1930s to 1960s

A selection of scenes taken during winter carnival events from the 1930s to the 1960s. Winter Carnival dates back to 1911 and is the nation’s oldest collegiate winter celebration. Still a major social and athletics event at Dartmouth College, the carnival is a celebration of winter activities, and each year features a large snow sculpture on the Dartmouth College Green in Hanover, New Hampshire. These selected scenes include ski-jumping, downhill and cross-country skiing, figure skating, snow sculptures, the Carnival Queen competition, the Dartmouth Glee Club singing, and other social and athletic events surrounding the Carnival weekend.

The Early History of Hanover NH

The Early History of Hanover NH

The earliest center of local activity, the establishment of Hanover Center in 1761 predates the establishment of the College by eight years. Fronting the Parade Ground, is an impressive grouping of late 18th- early 19th century structures including several residences, a schoolhouse and the Congregational Church, unified by their white-clapboarded exteriors and simple lines. To the west is the First Congregational Church of Hanover in Hanover Center and south of the Church is the Hanover Center Cemetery. To the south are several early brick structures. New construction along the east side of Hanover Center Road detracts slightly from this historic landscape that should be protected through National Register and local historic district designation.

Practically since its establishment in 1769, the Dartmouth College campus has been a showplace of American architecture, bearing the imprint of the visions and buildings of a variety of designers. Late 18th century buildings, many of which have been moved several times to accommodate the growth of the College, coexist with numerous Georgian Revival structures dating to the tenure of College architect Charles Rich (c. 1900) and commissions of Jens Larson who sought to create a new focus for the Campus in Baker Library. Several important structures by Ammi B. Young and fine examples of the Romanesque Revival also figure prominently on the Campus.
