SUMMARY:****RESCHEDULED for March 14th**** Good Grit: Black Sailors of Lincoln County
DESCRIPTION:This online program is free and open to the public. Preregistration is required. Click here to sign up. \nLearn about the lives of a few of the incredible Black men— free and enslaved— who worked the waters of the Kennebec and helped shape Lincoln County.  This talk will span the decades from the 1700s to the late 1800s.  Korinne Tanzer will discuss early enslaved men who were forced to sea by their enslavers and men like Zina Lewis\, who\, full of “good grit” as reported by one local newspaper\, made a name for himself as a very successful Black captain on the Kennebec River. Tanzer tells of the determination and grit of men whose stories have been hidden but who left an important mark on Maine’s rich maritime tradition. \n  \nAbout our speaker: Korinne Tanzer is currently obtaining a bachelor’s degree in History through Arizona State University online. She has been involved as a volunteer with Lincoln County Historical Association for two years. Currently a member of LCHA’s Board of Trustees and a member of the Wiscasset Old Jail stewardship committee\, she has been researching the lives of many of the 19th century inmates.

SUMMARY:Samoset of Pemaquid: Online Lecture with author Jody Bachelder
DESCRIPTION:This talk is free and open to the public\, registration is required. Click here to register. \nSuggested donation to support LCHA programs: $5 \n\n \n \n\nOn March 16\, 1621\, Samoset cemented his place in history when he boldly walked into Plymouth Plantation and greeted the settlers in English. And that’s where most history books leave him. They never hint at the extraordinary events of his life that led him to that moment\, including his initial clash with the English and a possible kidnapping attempt\, inter-tribal warfare that engulfed the entire coast of Maine\, encounters with the forgotten Popham Colony in Phippsburg\, and an apocalyptic epidemic that nearly wiped out his people.  They never ask why a sagamore (or leader) from Maine would be there in the first place\, or consider how dangerous that walk into Plymouth truly was.\n \nWhy does any of this matter?  Because Samoset lived at an extraordinary time and place in history.  He and his people\, the Wawenock\, were at the epicenter of initial contact with English colonizers.  If we want to better understand this story\, looking at Samoset’s life is a good place to start.\n \nJody Bachelder started her career as a teacher and quickly made the switch to library work.  In 2013 she was extremely honored to be named the Walter J. Taranko Maine School Librarian of the Year.  When her husband got a job opportunity out of state\, she took a chance and started writing.  What she thought would be a picture book grew into a history book for adults.\n \nGrowing up on the Pemaquid Peninsula in Maine where Samoset and the Wawenock lived\, she knew little about the Indigenous people who called the area home for thousands of years. It was time to learn more.  She began her research with the question\, “What was Samoset doing in Plymouth?” The journey to find the answer was both enlightening and surprising.  Here First: Samoset and the Wawenock of Pemaquid\, Maine is her first book.  She still plans to write for children sometime in the future. \n\n \nThank you to Series Supporter J. Edward Knight Insurance for helping LCHA provide this free lecture!
