Stroll through history at William Clark’s monument

Stroll through history at William Clark’s monument

By Gary Kimsey Bellefontaine Cemetery, St. Louis, Mo. A bit chilly this morning. We’re at an isolated, tranquil spot in the far corner of the beautiful, tree-laden cemetery. All is quiet except for a lovely rustling sound created by a soft breeze whispering through the leaves of an ancient oak tree. Jerry Garrett steps out of the cool soft shade given off by the oak and into a warmer sunny spot.…

A Day in St. Charles, Missouri!

My sister Debbie and I decided to have a sister’s day. We picked the town of St. Charles, Missouri as our destination. While there, I learned two things about St. Charles. One, it has a lot of history. Two, it is also called Saint Chuck by the locals. We saw T-shirts saying such in a local St. Charles store. Getting ready to head out! The History It is easy to see how St. Charles originally…

The Blacksmiths of the Corps of Discovery

The Blacksmiths of the Corps of Discovery

Blacksmithing became a barter skill on the Lewis and Clark expedition. As I was doing my research on the Lewis and Clark Expedition (also known as the Corps of Discovery) Most of the information I am using for this blog comes from archives of the actual journals of the explorers themselves. In my research, I have discovered that these men didn’t take most of the food or supplies that they…

something something american necropolitics the tillamook county creamery association found online on tillamook dot com that sells many dairy products in the united states under the brand name tillamook has no relationship and makes no acknowledgement of the tillamook people from whom it get its name. the name comes from the chinook translation of the people of nehalem. early contact with european sailing ships is dated to the 1770s. in 1805 lewis and clark's "discovery" expedition noted at the time that many large villages had been depopulated by pandemics and many adults had smallpox scars. this followed a period of fur trading with the involvement of hudson bay corporation. in 1850, the us govt passed the oregon donation land act, announcing over 2,500,000 acres of land as available for settlers to seize, which happened in patterns whose violence mirrors that of the continent. there was no treaty. in 1907, the tribe sued and was paid 23,500 dollars for the land the us govt has seized from them when it forced them onto the siletz reservation. the tillamook language is a salishan language that lost its last fluent speaker in 1970. many descendants are considered part of the confederated tribes of siletz. other nehalem are part of the unrecognized clatsop nehalem confederated tribes. the nehalem-tillamook were also socially and economically integrated with the clatsop peoples. today the town of tillamook has a population that is only 1.5% native american. the modern day corporation started as a settler coop created in 1909. it is the 48th largest dairy processor in north america and posted $1 billion in sales in 2021.

#sometimes i see an interesting word or name in the us and inevitably its history is something like this #but i hadn't seen an actually brand named after a tribe yet that made no acknowledgement of it #pnw #<- idk local history tag

Another from my Carolina Parakeet series, this painting is gouache on 18x24” watercolor paper. It is a particular companion to the previously-posted ‘American Tannenbaum’, and its title is ‘The Etymology of Loss’.

The word ‘extinct’ existed for nearly four centuries before it was applied to the death of a species. Originally a variant of ‘extinguish’, the earliest use of the word can be found in the 1400s, when it was a descriptor for lights that had been doused. Within a short span, its meaning would expand to include the ending of specific family lines (i.e. “the king died without heirs, and his house became extinct”).

The progression from candle to lineage to species seems obvious in hindsight, yet it wasn’t until the early 19th century that the word became synonymous with the loss of an animal—the simple reason for this being, it wasn’t until that point that learnéd-minds accepted that species-death was possible. 

According to the prevailing philosophy, the universe had been designed in perfect, unshakable balance, from which no element could possibly be subtracted or altered—much less by the actions of mere humans. (I’ve heard similar reasoning from modern climate change deniers.) The removal of species was an inherently blasphemous concept.

Even as they watched animals like the aurochs and tarpan vanish before their eyes, people assured themselves with the knowledge that more existed…just…somewhere else (after all, wolves had). 

(Do you want to know one of my favorite stories from American history? When Thomas Jefferson sent Lewis & Clark on their expedition out west, one of his dearest hopes was that they would discover a living population of mastodons.)

It was the continued lack of any live mastodons, or mammoths, or wooly rhinos, not to mention the reptilian leviathans being uncovered by the burgeoning field of paleontology, that finally tipped the scales of common sense. In 1807, French naturalist Georges Cuvier, who had extensively studied such bones, came out strongly with the assertion that, yes, clearly, species can and do die.

Then began the task of counting the extinguished.

her: wyd

me: theres just this LEVEL of codependency that i love in relationships like to the point where absolute despair is the only choice if they dont have one another. i think clark ALSO was somewhat dependent on lewis despite most interpretations, but i think he was able to lean into more traditional life during his time of society bcuz he was generally more well-liked than lewis and had less of an incline to depression and addiction. i truly believe that lewis wouldve been okay if he had more support and wasnt left to fend for himself like a wounded animal. clark had PLANS for what would happen after the expedition (a wife, children, a successful job) while its clear that lewis never knew what he wanted outside of the freedom to wander. his intelligence both encouraged him and trapped him, and he was cracking under the pressure of everything with no help. anyway do u want my nudes

#i just. think too much abt them. #genuinely cried earlier looking at pictures of lewis bcuz i got sad over him #funny thing is is THATS NOT THE FIRST TIME IVE DONE THAT????? #rip yt man you wouldve called me slurs but its okay bcuz i couldve fixed you #anyway do you think clark was ever happy in his marriages or do you think he was just doing what was expected of him? #what if hes also gay but super duper closeted bcuz it was hammered into him that he must marry and have kids holy shit #these men are such dilemmas i love them #lewis and clark #meriwether lewis #lewis and clark expedition #william clark #early 19th century #early 1800s #jeffersonian history #gay

A family doesn’t need to be a man, woman, and child. Families come in all shapes and sizes! Sometimes a family is Teddy Roosevelt (president of the United States), Sacajawea (Lemhi-Shoshone guide of the Lewis and Clark expedition), Octavius ( miniature Roman general), Jedidiah (miniature cowboy), Attila (you know, Attila the Hun), Ahkmenrah (fourth king of the fourth kings), Dexter (a monkey), Nicky (aspiring dj), and Larry (Middle aged guy who probably should have looked for a different job) !!

Recent birds: A very shy Lewis's woodpecker / carpintero de Lewis (Melanerpes lewis) at Santa Rita Lodge in Madera Canyon, Santa Cruz County, Arizona.

Once again, for me the honorific poses problems. The bird is named for Meriwether Lewis, who "discovered" it during his western expedition with William Clark. Both men were slave owners - a sufficient disqualifying mark, in my opinion - but the assumption of naming rights based on so-called discovery is laughable. How do you discover something the local indigenous folks have known for millennia? Why equate discovery with description?

The woodpecker has a few characteristics that would lend themselves to a good honest bird name. It is the only pink and green woodpecker I know of. And unlike most woodpeckers it behaves more like a crow in flight, and like a flycatcher in its feeding habits. There are plenty of birdish possibilities that don't require honoring the dishonorable. What's your suggestion?
