There was a concert, the program stuffed with pieces by the beloved German composer, and a speech on “The Life and Genius of Mozart” delivered by local newspaper editor Thomas Fitzgerald. H. J. LEWIS, FREE MAN AND FREEMAN ARTIST The first African American political cartoonist. What would it be like to start off in life as a severely handicapped slave? Not a very auspicious beginning, to say the least, but H. J. Lewis overcame it and became the first African American political cartoonist. INDIAN SLAVERY IN NEW ENGLAND Over the past ten to twenty years, a rising number of historians have recast both the history of North American slavery and Native American history by bringing to light the prevalence of American Indian enslavement in the Southwest, the Southeast, the Mississippi Valley, TERMS OF DISMEMBERMENT Severing the head of a predator trucked across an international boundary to satisfy an endangered species law signed by Richard Nixon may seem a peculiarly modern transgression, but wolf reintroduction linked the past and the present in ways that help illuminate over three centuries of American colonial history. PILGRIMS IN PRINT: INDIGENOUS READERS ENCOUNTER JOHN Missionaries and their indigenous parishioners in Canada and the United States were in the vanguard of this movement.

BROTHELS FOR GENTLEMEN: NINETEENTH-CENTURY AMERICAN Like a nineteenth-century Zagat’s for brothels, Prostitution Exposed appended reviews to its list of addresses and names, and later guides followed suit. The seven brothel guide titles that survive in archives today contain a total of 297 reviews, with 213 (72 percent) offering praise that highlights the gentility and respectability of these houses of prostitution and the women who worked in BUYING AND SELLING STATEN ISLAND The 1670 Staten Island deed and the minutes of negotiations show in detail how these transfers worked. Though the papers document a Native loss, they also are evidence of a forty-year process of contestation, and more than a week of face-to-face negotiations.

THE CITY IN FRAMES: OTIS BULLARD'S MOVING PANORAMA OF NEW The story of Otis Allen Bullard and his moving panorama is very much a story of nineteenth-century America.

H. J. LEWIS, FREE MAN AND FREEMAN ARTIST Meanwhile, in mid-1888, an energetic virtuoso of Victorian eloquence, Edward Elder Cooper, founded an Indianapolis-based weekly black newspaper called The Freeman. Some sources have credited Lewis with being a “co-founder,” but this seems unlikely. CINQUÉ THE SLAVE TRADER As leader of the 1839 Amistad slave revolt, the man known as Joseph Cinqué has earned a rightful place in our pantheon of heroes. The general outline of his story is well known. Kidnapped in Mende (in the hinterland of what is now Sierra Leone) and carried across the Atlantic to Spanish Cuba, he was one of many victims of an illegal but still thriving international slave trade.
