Pen and Ink Witchcraft
Indian peoples made some four hundred treaties with the United States between the American Revolution and 1871, when Congress prohibited them. They signed nine treaties with the Confederacy, as well as countless others over the centuries with Spain, France, Britain, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, Canada, and even Russia, not to mention individual colonies and states. In retrospect, the treaties seem like well-ordered steps on the path of dispossession and empire. Thereality was far more complicated.In Pen and Ink Witchcraft, eminent Native American historian Colin G. Calloway narrates the history of diplomacy between North American Indians and their imperial adversaries, particularly the United States. Treaties were cultural encounters and human dramas, each with its cast of characters and conflicting agendas. Many treaties, he notes, involved not land, but trade, friendship, and the resolution of disputes. Far from all being one-sided, they were negotiated on the Indians'cultural and geographical terrain. When the Mohawks welcomed Dutch traders in the early 1600s, they sealed a treaty of friendship with a wampum belt with parallel rows of purple beads, representing the parties traveling side-by-side, as equals, on the same river. But the American republic increasingly turnedtreaty-making into a tool of encroachment on Indian territory. Calloway traces this process by focusing on the treaties of Fort Stanwix (1768), New Echota (1835), and Medicine Lodge (1867), in addition to such events as the Peace of Montreal in 1701 and the treaties of Fort Laramie (1851 and 1868). His analysis demonstrates that native leaders were hardly dupes. The records of negotiations, he writes, show that "Indians frequently matched their colonizing counterparts in diplomatic savvy andtried, literally, to hold their ground." Each treaty has its own story, Calloway writes, but together they tell a rich and complicated tale of moments in American history when civilizations collided.

Woodcraft
Woodcraft; or, Hawks About the Dovecote: A Story of the South at the Close of the Revolution is the fifth novel composed in William Gilmore Simms' saga of the American Revolution. As the work opens, the British are evacuating Charleston in December 1782. Then the novel shifts to a ruined rice plantation, Glen-Eberley, on the Ashepoo River south of Charleston, where the plantation community is striving to reestablish civil order and consideration. Primarily through Porgy, Simms' intriguing protagonist, the novel works as a soldier's pay story, a domestic drama, a comedy of manners, a work of political suspense, and, as Simms famously noted to his friend James Henry Hammond, an implicit answer to Harriet Beecher Stowe's portrait of slave life in Uncle Tom's Cabin.The initial publication was in serial form in the Southern Literary Gazette, with the first installment appearing in the February 1852 issue and the last in November. Its title was The Sword and the Distaff; or, "Fair, Fat and Forty," A Story of the South, At the Close of the Revolution. Before the last section of the serialized version was printed in the gazette, the complete novel appeared as a separately published work in Charleston from Walker and Richards (publisher of the SLG) in September 1852. It was still entitled The Sword and the Distaff, and bore on its title page "Second Edition," which is actually the first book edition, created from the typesettings for the SLG. The Redfield editions, beginning in 1854, featured the new title, Woodcraft. Simms writes with humor and verisimilitude, and Woodcraft; or, Hawks About the Dovecote has been regarded by contemporary reviewers as Simms' highest achievement, as well as the first Realistic novel in America.

Coleridge and the Doctors
What did Coleridge know about medicine and how did it influence the development of his critical thought?
