SUMMARY:Cowboys and Empire: Colonial Cattle Frontiers in New England
DESCRIPTION:We invite CMCH members and visitors to join us for a brown bag lunch talk with Jared Lucky\, PhD Candidate in History at Yale University.  Jared is a New England Regional Fellowship Consortium (NERFC) fellow who has been conducting research here this winter. \nThis comparative talk will explore an overlooked part of New England’s colonial past: the ways in which cattle\, and the cattle herders we might today call “cowboys\,” shaped European empires in America. Though it may seem surprising to search for cowboys in Massachusetts and Connecticut\, recent movements in New England historiography have made this line of inquiry not just possible\, but pressing. \nTransient rural workers—often unfree\, and sometimes of African or partially indigenous descent—played an important role in the booming early colonial cattle business. And yet little is known about these people\, and the ways in which they contributed to social\, economic\, and political life in the colonies.  Focusing on the 17th and early 18th centuries\, Jared is seeking to reexamine rural life in New England using insights gleaned from other cattle frontiers around the Atlantic. \nJared will share the results of his research at the CMCH with us during this informal presentation. \nThis program is free for CMCH members and included with admission for non-members. We will provide coffee and dessert; bring your lunch to enjoy during the talk. Please RSVP by Tuesday\, March 31st by calling (860) 236-5621 x282 or emailing rsvp@chs.org. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Hopes and Expectations: The Origins of the Black Middle Class in Hartford
DESCRIPTION:Just as the Civil War was tearing the nation apart\, a recognizable black middle class was emerging in Hartford. In this lunchtime talk\, historian Barbara Beeching will present her research into African American daily life in Connecticut in the nineteenth century. Beeching’s book\, Hopes and Expectations: The Origins of the Black Middle Class in Hartford\, examines the lives of three young black people from Hartford\, using the Primus family collection of letters at the CMCH.  The letters describe their daily lives and touch on race\, class\, gender\, religion\, and politics\, offering rare entry into individual black lives at that time. \nAfter the talk\, be sure to head up to the Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow exhibit to see artifacts associated with the Primus family. \nThis program is included with museum admission. \nWe will provide coffee and dessert; bring your lunch to enjoy during the talk. Please RSVP by Tuesday\, August 20 by calling (860) 236-5621 x238 or emailing rsvp@chs.org. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Short Attention Span Literary Club
DESCRIPTION:If you like the idea of a book club\, but are worried about the time commitment\, this group is for you! We meet every couple of months and discuss short stories that have a connection to our exhibits and collections. \nFor our July meeting\, we’ll read and discuss James Thurber’s classic “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.” This hilarious story of a beaten-down underachiever is set in 1930s Waterbury — we’ll use images from our Graphics collection to help set the scene. We’ll also look at some of Thurber’s best cartoons. \nYou can find “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” in many published Thurber anthologies\, or access it online here. The cartoons can be seen here. \nFree for CMCH members\, $8 for no-members. This is a drop-in program\, but we welcome RSVPs to help us better serve our visitors. Please email rsvp@chs.org or call 860-236-5621 ext. 238. Questions? Contact Natalie Belanger\, Adult Programs Manager\, at natalie_belanger@chs.org.

SUMMARY:Eighteenth-Century Revival Poetry and Its Uses
DESCRIPTION:*** Rescheduled from June 7 *** \nIn this lunchtime talk\, NERFC fellow Professor Wendy Roberts will present some of the evangelical poetry in manuscript housed at the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History and address the various uses of such verse in revival networks. Though literary scholars and historians of religion have prioritized sermons\, conversion narratives\, periodicals\, and more recently hymnody\, it was poetry that\, in the words of the New Light cleric Samuel Davies\, had the unique capacity to “diffuse celestial Fervor through the World.” Professor Robert’s work demonstrates how evangelical poetry was central to the new nation’s literary history. \nWe will provide coffee and dessert; bring your lunch to enjoy during the talk. Please RSVP by calling (860) 236-5621 x238 or emailing rsvp@chs.org. Free for members\, free with admission for non-members. \nQuestions? Contact Natalie Belanger\, Adult Programs Manager\, at natalie_belanger@chs.org. \nAbout the Speaker \nWendy Roberts is an Assistant Professor of English at University at Albany\, SUNY. She holds a Ph.D. in English from Northwestern University. \nImage: Congregational Church in Darien by John Warner Barber\, c. 1836\, CMCH 1953.5.67

SUMMARY:A Meaningful Subjection: Coercive Inequality and Indigenous Political Economy in the Colonial Northeast
DESCRIPTION:In this lunchtime talk\, NERFC fellow Peter Olsen-Harbich will discuss his dissertation project\, which offers an original interpretation of the relationship between Europeans and Northeastern Native Americans. His time at the CMCH will be spent looking at the Wyllys and Wolcott Papers\, and the underappreciated role played by the Connecticut Council in building a unified Indian policy. He’ll also examine the Samson Occom papers\, a vital source for Southern New England Algonquian life in the late 18th century. His research seeks to reassess the effect of inequality and coercion on many aspects of colonial life\, including the subsistence of early colonies; the attempted incorporation of these colonies into indigenous “confederacies”; the adoption of European material culture by indigenous elites; and the mobilization of indigenous men as allies in imperial wars. \nWe will provide coffee and dessert; bring your lunch to enjoy during the talk.

SUMMARY:The Heathenish and Absurd Idea of Manifest Destiny: Connecticut’s Critique of Manifest Destiny\, 1848-1871
DESCRIPTION:We invite CMCH members and visitors to join us for a brown bag lunch talk with Daniel Burge\, a New England Regional Fellowship Consortium (NERFC) fellow who will be conducting research here this spring. \nDr. Burge’s research focuses on people who opposed the idea of manifest destiny – the notion that American was destined to expand across all of North America. Historians have argued that manifest destiny was popular and pervasive in the United States from 1846-1854\, but Dr. Burge has found that many Americans remained troubled at the idea of continental expansion. While many politicians\, racial theorists\, and economic boosters remained steadfast in their belief that the United States would annex Canada\, Mexico\, and Cuba\, ordinary Americans were far less confident in the continental future of the nation. \nThis talk focuses on Connecticut and the ways in which individuals from Connecticut challenged the central tenets of manifest destiny. Historians have often drawn a tenuous link between Puritan theology and the emergence of manifest destiny in the 1840s. In contrast\, Dr. Burge argues that manifest destiny was challenged most often by New Englanders because of its biblical underpinnings. Literary\, political\, and religious leaders such as John A. Rockwell\, Truman Smith\, Leonard Bacon\, and Lydia Sigourney marshalled a cohesive and sustained attack on manifest destiny over the nineteenth century\, often relying upon religion. In January of 1846\, John A. Rockwell\, a US Congressman from Connecticut\, delivered a speech on expansionism in which he labelled the idea of manifest destiny “heathenish and absurd.” Manifest destiny did not sweep through the nation without dissent. It was challenged at every turn and thwarted on numerous occasions. \nWe will provide coffee and dessert; bring your lunch to enjoy during the talk. Please RSVP by March 20 by calling (860) 236-5621 x238 or emailing rsvp@chs.org. Questions? Contact Natalie Belanger\, Adult Programs Manager\, at natalie_belanger@chs.org.

SUMMARY:Anglicanism in Colonial Connecticut: Conversion\, Revivalism\, and Loyalism
DESCRIPTION:We invite CMCH members and visitors to join us for a brown bag lunch talk with Dr. Peter Walker of Providence College\, a New England Regional Fellowship Consortium (NERFC) fellow who will be conducting research here this spring. \nThe subject of his talk is  the Anglican Church in colonial Connecticut. The Anglican clergy in Connecticut supplied some of the best-known American loyalists. Why did this small minority play such an important role in the American Revolution? The answer to this question lies in the Puritan history of the colony\, which fostered an influential Anglican revival in the mid-eighteenth century. Dr. Walker will share the results of his research at CMCH with you in this informal presentation. \nPeter Walker received his PhD from Columbia University in 2016. He is working on a book titled The Church Militant: Anglicanism\, Loyalism\, and Counterrevolution in the British Empire\, 1720-1800. He teaches history at Providence College. \nWe will provide coffee and dessert; bring your lunch to enjoy during the talk.
