Luncheon Book Presentation: “Global Entanglements of a Man Who Never Traveled”
Dominic Sachsenmaier, Professor at Göttingen University
Boston College, Institute for Advanced Jesuit Studies
Ground level of Simboli Hall, 9 Lake Street Brighton, MA 02135
Join us for a presentation of the recently published book Global Entanglements of a Man Who Never Traveled (Columbia University Press, 2018), a strikingly original work and a major contribution to East Asian, transnational, and global history, with important implications for historical approaches and methodologies. Dominic Sachsenmaier explores the mid-seventeenth-century world and the worldwide flows of ideas through the lens of a Chinese Christian’s life, combining the local, regional, and global. Convert Zhu Zongyuan likely never left his home province.

Lecture: "AMERICAN EDEN: David Hosack, Botany, and Medicine in the Garden of the Early Republic"
Victoria Johnson, Hunter College, NYC
John Carter Brown Library, 94 George Street, Providence RI 02906
This illustrated lecture by historian Victoria Johnson features her acclaimed new book, American Eden<http://americaneden.org/> (Liveright/W. W. Norton, 2018), which both the Wall Street Journal and Ron Chernow (Alexander Hamilton) have called “captivating.” When Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr met on a dueling ground in July 1804, they chose the same attending physician: David Hosack. Family doctor and friend to both men, Hosack is today a shadowy figure at the edge of a famous duel, the great achievements of his life forgotten.
Copies of American Eden will be available for purchase.

"Boston Occupied: The British Are Coming… Again!"
Reenactment from Long Warf to Boston Common
Many venues in the City of Boston (see schedule link below)
In October of 1768 the British government sent troops to quell the unrest that had rising since the passage of the Townshend Acts. Boston was a town of about 16,000 residents and the arrival of 2,000 soldiers did not calm tensions but rather marked an escalation that would eventually lead to the Boston Massacre. A reenactment of the arrival of the troops in Boston Harbor, their parade through Boston, and encampment on the Common will be reenacted this October.

Lecture: "Frontier Rebels: The Fight for Independence in the American West, 1765-1776: The untold story of the 'Black Boys,' a rebellion on the American frontier in 1765 that sparked the American Revolution."
Patrick Spero, American Philosophical Society Library in Philadelphia
In 1763, the Seven Years’ War ended in a spectacular victory for the British. The French army agreed to leave North America, but many Native Americans, fearing that the British Empire would expand onto their lands and conquer them, refused to lay down their weapons. Under the leadership of a shrewd Ottawa warrior named Pontiac, they kept fighting for their freedom, capturing several British forts and devastating many of the westernmost colonial settlements. The British, battered from the costly war, needed to stop the violent attacks on their borderlands. Peace with Pontiac was their only option?if they could convince him to negotiate.
Copies of Frontier Rebels will be available for purchase.
