RE: Jane McCrae documentary on the History Channel

Does anyone have the History Channel? If so, it would be great to tape this and put it at the docent desk for people to borrow. Sounds interesting.

Subject: Jane McCrae documentary on the History Channel

 

Buried Secrets of the Revolutionary War.

 

Airs on:
Friday, November 26 @ 8:00PM ET/PT
Saturday, November 27 @ 12:00AM ET/PT

 

In 1777, as the Revolutionary War escalated, colonists in upstate New York faced a brutal British strategy--employment of Native Americans as scouts with orders to create chaos, kill militia, and scalp colonists. Set against this scenario, we investigate a forgotten incident in American history--the death of Jane McCrea. Engaged to a British loyalist, Jane was abducted in an Indian raid. But was she scalped by British-allied Indians, or mistakenly shot by colonial militia trying to save her? Hunting for clues, forensic anthropologists open her grave and find two sets of bones--but no skull! Scientists search for Jane's kinfolk and, aided by DNA analysis, computer facial reconstruction, and historical research, try to resolve questions about her death and the mysteries uncovered in her grave.

schedule

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the confusion with the rescheduled training this week. Here is the recap.

 

What is listed on your calendar as the Steiglitz Circle training for 11/17 and 11/22 was cancelled and replaced on 11/10 (we had to move this up a week from 11/17 because there was a large event at the museum last night) and 11/22 – this coming Monday -- with the Sense of Place research project presentations that the Active docents are giving (and the docents-in-training are invited to come watch). The Steiglitz circle information will be discussed by Patricia as part of her Hartley training in January.

 

Tomorrow morning from 10:00 – 1:30 the New docents will be doing their Art History III lecture, which was supposed to happen on Monday, 11/15, but was cancelled because I was sick.

I know this is a little confusing; sorry I didn’t make it more clear. Let me know if you have further questions.

Tara

Docent Coffee = *This* Thursday 11/18/04 UW Starbucks 5:00pm

Hello Fellow Docents,

A gentle reminder that this month's Third Thursday coffee will be at
the same place (UW Tacoma Starbucks), same time (5:00pm), with the
same "No Agenda" and same "No RSVP Required" policy as the last few
times !

Day: Third Thursday
Date : 11/18/04
Place : UW Tacoma Starbucks
Time: 5:00pm +

The museums will be open free and late; the galleries will be open; we
can take the train to the theater district. No agenda is good freedom.

The Museum of Glass has a new exhibit called "Tools as Art"
(The Hechinger Collection celebrates an amazing variety of
twentieth-century art that represents or incorporates tools and
hardware. They are elegant and witty sculptures of tools—from common
hammers, saws and wrenches to machine tools such as the lathe—in wood,
glass, metal, paper and stone. Also included are constructions of
found objects and building materials that use familiar forms to make
works of imaginative power, as well as paintings, prints and
photographs depicting tools of all sorts.)

We can see local artists at the Rampart Gallery Art Walk Reception.
Theme: Art in Fashion (Fashion Show; Men, Women & Combos)
Live Band: Knox
Disc Jockey: DJ Jimmy Sparkles
Catering: Puget Sound Pizza (7th & St. Helens)

Drop by; bring a friend ... last Third Thursday there was lots of
traffic ... give yourself ample time to park ... Downtown Tacoma is
getting trendy and cosmopolitan !
