The Delaware Indians, known in their language as the Lenape, have a unique reputation as the only nation in the Americas—and perhaps the entire world—accorded the status of “women.” This unusual designation entered the surviving documentary record in notorious fashion at a conference held in Pennsylvania in 1742 between representatives of the Iroquois Confederacy (known in their language as the Haudenosaunee), the Lenape, and Pennsylvania to discuss the “Walking Purchase” that had recently deprived the Lenape of virtually all their remaining traditional territory. When the Lenape complained that they had been defrauded, an Onondaga spokesman for the Haudenosaunee by the name of Canasatego berated them into accepting the deal, saying, “We conquered you; we made Women of you”; and therefore the Lenape deferred to the decision of the Haudenosaunee.1 Ever since then, the Lenape’s designation as “women” (we do not know what the original Indigenous word was) has been a subject of fierce debate among both the Indigenous nations involved and their Anglo-American colonizers. Eighteenth-century sources indicate that the status had been conferred in the seventeenth century at a peace conference where the Haudenosaunee had symbolically wrapped the Lenape in a “petticoat,” conferring to them the status as “women.” From the outbreak of the Seven Years War to the conclusion of the Northwest Indian War in 1795, the Haudenosaunee made various efforts to remove that “petticoat,” but the Lenape resisted, proudly clinging to their symbolic female garment. The resulting debates

On Sunday, May 3, 1874, police in Brooklyn, New York, arrested seventeen boys, ranging in age from ten to seventeen, and hauled them to court where each was fined the nontrivial sum of $2. The boys were not accused of stealing, disturbing the peace, trespassing, interfering with the services of a nearby church, or uttering foul language within earshot of respectable citizens. The “green fields in the suburbs” where they had gathered were remote from stores, churches, homes, and tender ears. Their crime? They were playing a game of baseball. Sunday baseball, it seems, was illegal in Brooklyn, New York.1 Sabbatarian laws—“Sunday blue laws” in common parlance—were common in nineteenth-century America, especially in areas dominated by Protestants who maintained religious values and practices inherited from their Calvinist forefathers. Brooklyn’s original European settlers were the Dutch, whose Reformed Church sprang from traditions similar to those of English Puritans. But it was New Englanders, direct heirs of those Puritans, who came to dominate this old agricultural community as its East River shoreline began to sprout docks, warehouses, and workshops during the last years of the eighteenth century and when Brooklyn Heights emerged a few decades later as “America’s first suburb” on a steeply rising bluff directly across the river from lower Manhattan.2 The people who pioneered this new form of American community on the Heights were, for the most part, well-to-do merchants, bankers, and brokers who had migrated to New York from Massachusetts, Connecticut, and other New England states. Now they began to make much shorter daily migrations, by steam ferry, to build spacious homes beyond the crowded and noisy city, and to form a pious, well-ordered, and church-oriented community of like-minded believers.

A Well Regulated Militia: Citizen, Soldier, and State is a temporary exhibit in the lower level of the Mars Education Center at Fort Ticonderoga. The exhibit, according to the museum’s web description, “explores this often misunderstood institution from its formation in the colonial period through its decline in the early 19th century.”1 The exhibit revolves around a small, yet impressive, sampling of Ticonderoga’s vast collections of militaria and offers many items of interest for the devoted military history enthusiast. The content is thoroughly researched, and the artifacts are attractively displayed, confirming the Fort’s adeptness at engaging visitors with historical material culture. The exhibit offers visitors an examination of the militia’s European antecedents, many of which were in decline at the same time the militia system was being formalized in the North American colonies, and notes how participation in the militia reinforced status within the existing social order and excluded people of color and Native Americans. A brief introductory video offers an overview of the establishment of militia systems in twelve of the colonies that would rebel against British rule in 1775 (only in Quaker Pennsylvania was militia service not codified), but the bulk of the exhibit focuses on the post-Revolutionary militia until the decline of compulsory militia service in the decades after the War of 1812. It is interesting that the exhibit makes scant mention of the challenges and deficiencies within the militia system that were experienced during the conflict with Britain from 1812 to 1815 and that constituted a significant factor in that decline. The exhibition is strongest in its exploration of the passage of the Militia Act of 1792, which codifies the American system of defense and the debates between Federalists and Anti-Federalists over control of the militia as a means of defining state power. The exhibit team also provides a strong overview of
