SUMMARY:Misery Island Mushroom Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join mycologist Jana Harris from Essex Forays for a guided mushroom walk at Great Misery Island. \n\n\n\nFor all those interested in discovering fungi growing on the Misery Island of the coast of Beverly/Salem. This unique island environment hosts conifer and hardwood trees that provide background to growing fungi. Fungi don’t stop there. Animals nesting and living on this island contribute significantly to the growth of fungi and lichens on the island’s stone ruins. Join us on an exploratory walk around the island with Jana Harris of Essex Forays\, certified in Wild Mushroom Food Safety and a member of Boston Mycological Club. Jana will ID mushrooms as we go and learn about edible and non-edible species. The trip will last about 2.5 hours and will give participants a chance to look closely at mushroom species that thrive in this secluded environment. Depending on weather\, there will be different types of mushrooms to explore. \nPlease wear sturdy shoes\, long pants\, garden gloves\, bring a water bottle\, tick and bug repellent\, ID field guide and a basket (optional). Please be aware that there is a lot of poison ivy off the trails on the island\, so gloves and long pants are highly suggested.

SUMMARY:To the Farthest Ports of the Rich East: Profit and Peril in the New Trade to Asia
DESCRIPTION:With independence from Britain secured\, in the 1780s American began trading to Asia for themselves. They bought tea in China. They sailed to the East India Company-administered India for cloth\, to Yemen and Dutch Java for coffee\, to Sumatra for pepper\, and to many other ports in between. The trade to Asia accelerated as the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (1793-1815) kept European traders out of Asian waters\, creating a tussle between British and American crews to supply French-occupied Europe with Asian goods. This process created a new class of American investor-capitalists and the first American millionaires. Yet such wealth came at a cost\, as the ever growing and increasingly wealthy American trading fleet was a tempting target for foreign states and pirates—from Britain and France to Barbary and Yemen—against which the U.S. Navy was not always a match. \nJames Fichter\, is an historian of early America\, the British Empire\, and international trade. His book\, So Great a Proffit: How the East Indies Transformed Anglo-American Capitalism (Harvard: 2010)\, examined the relationship between the American (especially Salem) and British trades to the East Indies in the late 1700s and early 1800s. His book\, Tea: Consumption\, Politics\, and Revolution\, 1773-1776 (Cornell\, 2023) charted the rise and collapse of tea politics in North America. His article\, “The Palimpsest Captive” (Huntington Library Quarterly) reconsiders the 1806 loss of the Salem merchantman\, Essex\, in the Red Sea. His forthcoming work includes the books\, The Real Boston Tea Party\, and Mammon: The American Revolution and the Slave Trade\, as well as an article on the fate of the Salem merchantman\, Friendship\, attacked by “pirates” in 1831. \nWhile admission to this event is free\, space is limited; registration is strongly encouraged. \nCLICK HERE to register \nAfter the lecture\, join James Fichter for a book signing. A limited number of copies of So Great a Proffit: How the East Indies Trade Transformed Anglo-American Capitalism will be available for purchase. Since supplies are limited\, you are welcome to bring a copy of any of his other books you already own to be signed as well. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nThis program is part of the Conflict & Community: Salem\, Essex County\, and the American Revolution lecture series. This series is a partnership between Essex Heritage and Salem Maritime National Historical Park and highlights the unique role of Essex County communities during the American Revolution.
