Beyond Bretton Woods — A New Series in the Sun

The New York Sun launches, with Judy Shelton’s op-ed this evening, a series on the 50th anniversary of the collapse of the monetary system that had been established at Bretton Woods at the end of World War II. That system, centered on America’s promise to redeem dollars presented to it by foreign governments at a 35th of an ounce of gold, was far from perfect. Yet its collapse, in the summer of 1971, opened up a new and far more dangerous moment — the era of fiat money. ....

Bernard A. Drew | Our Berkshires: The collier's cabin on Monument Mountain | Columnists


Stephen D. Butz’s book “Shays’ Settlement in Vermont” (History Press, 2017) reveals a little-known side of the Shays’ Rebellion story that played out in a final confrontation in Sheffield in 1787.
When Perez Hamlin and other Regulators yielded to a superior Massachusetts militia force that chilly February day, instigators of the farmers’ revolt including Revolutionary War veteran Daniel Shays were elsewhere, sheltering on a mountaintop north of Arlington, Vt., on the New York border.
That location has become an active archaeological site. Butz merges scarce documentary sources with evidence found on the ground (recovered during several summer field schools) that remote Egg Mountain was home to a small community cluster that included a fort, a mill, a store and several dwellings. ....

'Charles C. Painter: The Life of an Indian Reform Advocate' by Valerie Sherer Mathes


Great Barrington Long before Berkshire County was established in 1761, Native Americans made their home here. The Mohican Nation, an Algonquin Tribe, was the dominant Native American group along the Hudson River until disease and warfare (introduced by European settlers) decimated their numbers. The surviving members dispersed throughout the northeast, and one small group ultimately settled in the Berkshires, calling themselves the Housatonic Indians. In 1724, a pair of chiefs Konkapot and Umpachene sold the English enough land to form the towns of Great Barrington and Sheffield (a transaction that marks the start of white settlement in Berkshire County).
More than a century later, Charles Cornelius Coffin Painter (1833-89) was born. Painter, a clergyman turned reformer, was one of the foremost advocates and activists in the late-19th-century movement to reform United States Indian policy. Very few individuals possessed the influence Painter wielded in the movement, and ....

Bernard A. Drew: My worst interview ever as a reporter


My newspaper career began as a correspondent then a reporter for The Berkshire Courier weekly in Great Barrington.
Attending municipal meetings and taking notes on activities was interesting. I got to know elected officials and sometimes phoned for more information. But I didn’t like making cold phone calls. Or interviews. Shy from birth.
Nevertheless, I questioned magicians and stamp collectors, cartoonists and auto mechanics, naturists and naturalists, museum curators and mystery writers. But Pulitzer Prize and Academy Award-winning composer Aaron Copland (1900-1990)? What would I ask him?
Copland was in the Berkshires in July 1980 for his usual stint at Tanglewood. My publisher, Alan Copland, was a cousin of Aaron and arranged a lunch for the three of us at Wheatleigh in Stockbridge. I have no recollection of what we ate before we retired to a side room. ....
