Today I encountered my dissertation, or at least a part of it, in the wild, so to speak. I was on a tour @TheWadsworth of the traveling exhibition Frederic Church: A Painter's Pilgrimage, which begins with the museum's own Church painting, [Thomas] Hooker & Company Journeying...
through the Wilderness from Plymouth to Hartford, in 1636 (1846). The tour was a decent size; spouse, mother-in-law, and me were by far the youngest people; I think most people were local; the group was overwhelmingly white. Perhaps none of this matters, but I'm noting it.
The tour was meant to be interactive & questions and conversation were encouraged. Early on, still in front of the painting shown above, an older man (I think) asks: "Were American Indians (still?) in the area?" Remember, he's asking this in the context of Church's painting.
