Subject:        1997 ASEH Meeting Panel Proposal

Send reply to: lah@wlu.edu

I'm interested in putting together, or participating in if someone's already got a similar panel proposal underway, a panel on law and wilderness at the 1997 ASEH conference. My own interest in the topic is historical, but that is not limiting. If you have, or are working on, a relevant paper, would you get in touch with me? Regards, Louise Halper

Subject: 1997 ASEH Meeting

As an introduction:
I am a graduate student at Emory University where I am writing my dissertation on the culture of the southern hunt during the nineteenth century. I am very interest in submitting an ASEH panel on either the environmental history of the American south or a thematic panel that examines hunters and the environment from different geographical and chronological moments.
If anyone is interested or knows someone who might be interested, please let me know at your earliest convenience.

sincerely,

Please keep me informed about the development of your panel. I'm not sure whether I will attend the conference at this point (could you update me on time and place?), but I think that we might have a lot to talk about. Completed my Ph.D. a couple of years ago at Harvard in part of which I talked about hunting and catching animals in Africa by a group of Germans in the late 19th. Right now I am working out several problematics around the issue of catching animals--a project I will be working on at Princeton next fall.

Mostly, I would be very interested to hear what kind of response your post gets.

Dear Nicolas Proctor,

Presently I am doing research on the environmental history of south-central India in the
nineteenth century under British colonialism. I would be interested in proposing a panel as a comparison with American south, since I also have a bit of a background in ante-bellum southern agriculture relating to cotton cultivation and marketing. If you are up for it let me know.

You might want to take a look at a dissertation by George Ward on hunting in America. It was written in the late 1970s-early 1980s in the American Civiliation program at the University of Texas at Austin.

There's an excellent book called "Southern Hunting in Black and White." I think the author is Stuart Marks...but i don't have my reference handy. It was written I believe in 1992 or 1993.

For the eighteenth-century Virginia context, I'd suggest you look at Chapter 5 of my dissertation, "'Alterations They Have Made at This Day': Environment, Agriculture, and Landscape Change in Essex County, Virginia, 1600-1782" (University of Maryland-College Park, 1995). A broader treatment of hunting practices and law during the colonial period is my essay "Laws of Nature: Wildlife Management Legislation in Colonial Virginia," pp. 137-162 in Lary Dilsaver and Craig Colten, eds., _The American Environment: Interpretations of Past Geographies_ (Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 1992).
