we shall remain<\/strong><\/p>\n

thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n

sandwiched after mark walberg’s antiques roadshow<\/p>\n

a bunch of white people figuring out how much things are worth.<\/p>\n

\"Annawon<\/a><\/p>\n

late summer 1621<\/p>\n

neil salisbury historian<\/p>\n

the american creation story – wow, never heard it called that<\/p>\n

jill lepore\u00c2\u00a0 historian<\/p>\n

no offense but will all the historians that will speak identify as white people?<\/p>\n

Rae Gould . Nipmuc . ok, there’s my answer, thanks.<\/p>\n

Tall Oak, yay!<\/p>\n

pau wows.<\/p>\n

native people the first to say “world turned upside down?”
\n1618. according to ‘we shall remain’<\/p>\n

Jessie Little Doe<\/p>\n

Lepore wrote a book about King Philip?<\/p>\n

Colin Calloway<\/p>\n

downplayed the 900+ dead in Pequot war
\ncalling it “hundreds” and spending almost no time
\ndescribing exactly what had happened.<\/p>\n

metacom, phillip. (played by annawon)
\ndid they say massasoit’s son?
\nyeah.<\/p>\n

daniel richter, historian<\/p>\n

Praying indian towns.<\/p>\n

relate a ‘conversion experience.’
\nmust be deemed efficient. here we go…<\/p>\n

a panel of ministers. yikes.<\/p>\n

They don’t name Philip’s wife. Just describe her as
\ndaughter of a chief who opposed his dad’s appeasement
\nof the settlers from the beginning.<\/p>\n

That must be thrilling paddling a dugout canoe, if even
\nin acting and anacronism.<\/p>\n

years ago Charlie from Harbor inn and cottage used to
\nlet me use one of his canoes on the Mystic river every
\nsummer whenever I wanted as long as there was one not
\nrented yet.<\/p>\n

1660’s. wonder if they’ll discuss deer island 1675 much
\nor at all.<\/p>\n

Forcing Philip to write an untrue confession.
\nWas that the first CIA action, 300 years before
\nthe founding of the CIA???<\/p>\n

wow, charles river. canoes.
\ndeer island middle of boston harbor
\n300-400 perished.<\/p>\n

no blankets, food, anything.<\/p>\n

1676 Philip retreats to mount hope.<\/p>\n

philip’s head displayed for two decades???<\/p>\n

Mark Samels in ‘behind the scenes’<\/p>\n

I know this was a 5 year project.
\nAnnawon is Philip’s descendant through his
\ndad Tall Oak, so when he was asked to play
\nPhilip he was very touched. I remember him
\nasking all his Facebook and Myspace friends
\nfor their advice whether he should take it
\nor not. He would try to listen to everyone.<\/p>\n

What a warrior!<\/p>\n

Next episode — Tecumseh<\/p>\n

Chris Eyre says each of the five are very different.<\/p>\n

So sandwiched after this is mummies and tornadoes???
\nok. this is just a preview of many things, not the
\nnext show. But I do want to see what’s after it
\nsince before it was antique road show.<\/p>\n

I’ll never forget Jerry Mander’s response to his
\ndocumentary about his friend Thomas Banyacya being
\nsandwiched by real junk, and noticing in his tv
\nguide that it competed with strange stuff on all
\nthe other channels and was sponsored by stuff like
\nhasbro and stuff.<\/p>\n

ken burns lewis and clark is after a half hour
\nshow that continues the we shall remain things?
\nI’m a bit confused. I guess I don’t watch enough
\nPBS (or TV for that matter) to keep up with all
\nthis.<\/p>\n

OK. looks like they repeat this show next.<\/p>\n
