thinking

thinking of stardew bachelorettes as classic iconic final girls…

(edited to add character desc)

Abigail as Sidney Prescott (Scream 1996)

Tough, sensible, and resourceful. Sidney isn't going to lie down and die for some serial killer. While she's just as prone to fear as everyone else, Sidney has a natural survivor's reflex that allows her to navigate life and death moments with an impressive level of poise and grace. —CharacTour

Emily as Sally Hardesty (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974)

Sally is a free-spirited young woman traveling across Texas with her brother and friends in order to investigate her grandfather’s grave after a series of grave-robberies […] However, early signs of resilience shows that she has more courage than most. Furthermore, Sally demonstrates an alertness that her companions seem to lack. —Ghouls Magazine

Haley as Nancy Thompson (A Nightmare on Elm Street 1984)

But compassion is only one of her defining characteristics — she’s clever, resourceful, determined, and stunningly courageous, clever enough to not just survive through good luck, but defeat and outwit her adversary. —cinephiledaydreaming

Leah as Virginia “Ginny” Field (Friday the 13th pt. II 1981)

She’s non-chaste, unconventionally athletic, and is not afraid to wield a weapon, be it a chainsaw, a pitchfork, or the killer’s own machete. Her keen perception makes her a formidable adversary for Jason […] It’s also through her earlier psychoanalysis that she’s able to penetrate Jason’s psyche. —dailygrindhouse

Maru as Ellen Ripley (Aliens 1979)

Ripley’s main ability is her ability to think fast for survival. She’s very adept at computers, electronics, mechanics, biology and physics. She’s a good knowledge of medicine and general science. She can handle any type of vehicle like no-one else and is a master at handling assault weaponry […] Her inner strength just keeps her going on for hour after hour until the aliens are definitely out of the picture. —WriteUps

Penny as Jess Bradford (Black Christmas 1974)

Perhaps it’s because she’s been accustomed to dealing with a strong personality like Peter’s that she’s such a determined fighter in the film’s final act. Jess compartmentalizes well, too. Black Christmas does a stellar job showing the bond among the Pi Kappa Sigma sisters, and Jess consistently shows up for her friends […] She’s doesn’t just have a good head on her shoulders; she’s kind-hearted, too. —BloodyDisgusting

Judge Oscar William Adams, Jr. (February 7, 1925 – February 15, 1997) was the first African American Supreme Court Justice appointed in Alabama and when he stood for election to a full term, the first African American elected to a statewide constitutional office. He litigated many civil rights cases in his career as a lawyer and was part of the first African American law firm established in the state.

He was born in Birmingham to Oscar William Adams and Ella Virginia Adams; he was the older brother of Frank E. Adams. He graduated from Talladega College with a BA in Philosophy. He attended Howard University School of Law and graduated. He was admitted to the Alabama State Bar and began his legal career that would span five decades. He married Willa Ingersoll Adams (1949-82) and they had three children. He married Anne-Marie Bradford.

He litigated many civil rights and labor cases, and his clients included Martin Luther King Jr., the SCLC, Fred Shuttleworth’s Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights, and the NAACP. The firm handled school desegregation and discrimination cases, as well as voting rights cases. Notable cases included Armstrong v. Birmingham Board of Education (1964), Terry v. Elmwood Cemetery (1969), and Pettway v. ACIPCO (1974).

On July 8, 1966, he became the first African American member of the Birmingham Bar Association. He ran his law office until 1967 when he went into practice with white attorney Harvey Burg, creating the state’s first integrated law practice. In 1969 he and James Baker became Adams and Baker Law Firm, were joined by U.W. Clemon, and the firm became known as Adams, Baker & Clemon.

He retired from the bench on October 31, 1993, after retirement, he worked with the Birmingham law firm of White, Dunn & Booker and served as co-chairman of the Second Citizens’ Conference on Judicial Elections and Campaigns.

He was inducted posthumously into the Alabama Lawyers’ Hall of Fame (2005) and the Birmingham Gallery of Distinguished Citizens (2008). #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

From the first settlement of Plymouth Plantation and Massachusetts Bay, wives came with their husbands or followed close behind. The Mayflower brought twenty-nine women and seventy-five men in 1620, and almost every ship arriving in Massachusetts in the following decades carried some women and children. Some of these women came reluctantly; Madam Winthrop kept postponing the trip to join husband John in Massachusetts Bay until he grew quite out of patience. Others changed their minds after they arrived. Young Mistress Dorothy Bradford's fatal plunge from the Mayflower as it lay at anchor off the bleak Plymouth shore was almost certainly no accident. But the women who settled in Massachusetts (or died in the attempt) in the first half of the seventeenth century were unique: they were probably the only Englishwomen who came to America before 1650 of their own volition. Most women were tricked or coerced. They didn't emigrate. They were shipped.

The first consignment of ninety single women was sent to Jamestown, Virginia, in 1620 at the urging of Sir Edwin Sandys, erstwhile highwayman and treasurer of the Virginia Company. Unlike the Massachusetts plantations, Jamestown had been established by a band of rogues and bachelor adventurers. Sandys shared Captain John Smith's opinion that the lack of wives and family attachments in the plantation made it unstable and easy prey to "dissolucon." The women were supposed to "make the men more setled & lesse moveable who by defect thereof (as is credibly reported) stay there but to get something and then return to England." When the women married, as they all soon did, their new husbands were required to defray the cost of their crossing to the tune of 120 pounds of good leaf tobacco. These young women reportedly came "upon good recommendation," and by 1621 when "an extraordinary choice lot of thirty-eight maids for wives" was sent, the price had risen to 150 pounds of tobacco. The men paid the sales price willingly; by 1622 all the maidens shipped—some 147 in all—were married. (By 1625, due to disease and Indian attacks, three-quarters of them were dead.)

How were these "young and uncorrupt" women persuaded to hazard a dangerous voyage to an uncharted country? Historian Carl Bridenbaugh found that the "means used to assemble them approached kidnapping." He cites the case of William Robinson, a chancery clerk, who was convicted in 1618 of counterfeiting the Great Seal of England. His racket was to use this false commission "to take up rich yeomen's daughters (or drive them to compound) to serve his Majestie for breeders in Virginia." Robinson was hanged, drawn, and quartered. What became of the yeomen's daughters is not noted. Owen Evans, a messenger for the Privy Council, ran a similar business. Pretending to have a royal commission, he extorted money for himself, or maidens for Virginia and Bermuda. Many a father must have been willing to sell his daughter rather than pay extortion to keep her. Superfluous daughters were the price men paid for the supernumerary sons who ensured continuation of the male line, and since England had become a Protestant country, fathers could no longer dump them in nunneries, which had been for Catholics as Milton observed—"convenient stowage for their withered daughters." Customarily, superfluous daughters had to be bought husbands, through a substantial dowry, or supported in idle spinsterhood. In seventeenth-century England, where basic family ties were more practical than affectionate, rich yeomen must have welcomed the patriotic alternative of bartering a daughter for the good of the empire. Bridenbaugh concludes that the Virginia Company's methods of recruitment "were such as to give the Company a bad name." He writes: "Women were transported to America after 1629 in considerable numbers by ruses and devices which will forever remain obscure."

Actually the first English settlement was Roanoke in NC. It was in the 1580s and disappeared. The next one was Jamestown VA in 1607. It had a few rough years, but they stuck it out and it became the 1st permanent English settlement. Not that long ago they finally found the original fort. The Spanish were in the southwest and southeast long before that though.

Why do I always want to call Roanoke Virginia? It's a glitch.

I guess in my own mind Jamestown has that non-continuous start, though, having been abandoned in 1610. Well, and then there's the whole cannibalism issue.

But then if we look at the non-continuous nature of Jamestown, we get down to the oldest English "New World" continuing settlement being Bermuda.

I guess the problem comes down to who had the better early PR, and I think the Puritans got that by William Bradford writing Of Plimoth Plantation between 1630-1650.
