we shall remain
thoughts
sandwiched after mark walberg’s antiques roadshow
a bunch of white people figuring out how much things are worth.
late summer 1621
neil salisbury historian
the american creation story – wow, never heard it called that
jill lepore historian
no offense but will all the historians that will speak identify as white people?
Rae Gould . Nipmuc . ok, there’s my answer, thanks.
Tall Oak, yay!
pau wows.
native people the first to say “world turned upside down?”
1618. according to ‘we shall remain’
Jessie Little Doe
Lepore wrote a book about King Philip?
Colin Calloway
downplayed the 900+ dead in Pequot war
calling it “hundreds” and spending almost no time
describing exactly what had happened.
metacom, phillip. (played by annawon)
did they say massasoit’s son?

daniel richter, historian
Praying indian towns.
relate a ‘conversion experience.’
must be deemed efficient. here we go…
a panel of ministers. yikes.
They don’t name Philip’s wife. Just describe her as
daughter of a chief who opposed his dad’s appeasement
of the settlers from the beginning.
That must be thrilling paddling a dugout canoe, if even
in acting and anacronism.
years ago Charlie from Harbor inn and cottage used to
let me use one of his canoes on the Mystic river every
summer whenever I wanted as long as there was one not
rented yet.
1660’s. wonder if they’ll discuss deer island 1675 much
or at all.
Forcing Philip to write an untrue confession.
Was that the first CIA action, 300 years before
the founding of the CIA???
wow, charles river. canoes.
deer island middle of boston harbor
300-400 perished.
no blankets, food, anything.
1676 Philip retreats to mount hope.
philip’s head displayed for two decades???
Mark Samels in ‘behind the scenes’
I know this was a 5 year project.
Annawon is Philip’s descendant through his
dad Tall Oak, so when he was asked to play
Philip he was very touched. I remember him
asking all his Facebook and Myspace friends
for their advice whether he should take it
or not. He would try to listen to everyone.
What a warrior!
Next episode — Tecumseh
Chris Eyre says each of the five are very different.
So sandwiched after this is mummies and tornadoes???
ok. this is just a preview of many things, not the
next show. But I do want to see what’s after it
since before it was antique road show.
I’ll never forget Jerry Mander’s response to his
documentary about his friend Thomas Banyacya being
sandwiched by real junk, and noticing in his tv
guide that it competed with strange stuff on all
the other channels and was sponsored by stuff like
hasbro and stuff.
ken burns lewis and clark is after a half hour
show that continues the we shall remain things?
I’m a bit confused. I guess I don’t watch enough
PBS (or TV for that matter) to keep up with all
this.
OK. looks like they repeat this show next.
