• Notes

  http://www.upf.com/book.asp?id=SCHOTS99 ´uª0 This brilliant tour-de-force narrates the life of a woman shipwrecked in the 1640s on´uª0 ´uª0 the shores´uª0 ´uª0 of modern-day New Jersey, axed in the belly, half-scalped and left for dead´uª0 ´uª0 by the Lenape´uª0 ´uª0 Indians, then nursed back to health by them and taken into the tribe.´uª0 ´uª0 And that's only the´uª0 ´uª0 beginning. ´uª0 Penelope Scambly Schott has carefully researched the facts and woven them into a poetic´uª0 ´uª0 page-turner. She cites her sources, provides a glossary and, best of all, indicates what is´uª0 ´uª0 fact and´uª0 ´uª0 what is fiction. Her technique is well chosen: the interior monologues, mostly´uª0 ´uª0 of the heroine,´uª0 ´uª0 Penelope Kent van Princis Stout, and, in a few poems, those of her´uª0 ´uª0 namesake, the author. A´uª0 ´uª0 more distant Penelope, the wife of Odysseus, is also invoked. ´uª0 The poems take us directly into the mind and heart of a strong woman, who is´uª0 ´uª0 extraordinary´uª0 ´uª0 partly because she thinks she is ordinary. With craftsmanship and´uª0 ´uª0 feeling, Schott has limned´uª0 ´uª0 unforgettable characters whose lives transcend the mostly´uª0 ´uª0 ignoble history of settler-Native´uª0 ´uª0 American relations. ´uª0 http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/story/390475 ´uª0 PENELOPE KENT VAN PRINCIS: ´uª0 Some records show original name (in Holland) to be Van Printzen. Also noted that her´uª0 ´uª0 name is´uª0 ´uª0 listed in some places as Penelope Kent Van Princin. Another source lists her´uª0 ´uª0 maiden name as´uª0 ´uª0 Thomson and she married a Kent van Princis in 1642. He was killed´uª0 ´uª0 by the Indians on the´uª0 ´uª0 beach in Sandy Hook, New Jersey. ´uª0 Fact 1: Believed to be 1st white woman to set foot on Monmouth Co. soil ´uª0 http://books.google.com/books?id=kFk-AAAAYAAJ&ots=f3O27n3o7n&dq=Navesink%20pe´uª0 nelope´uª0 &pg=PA3#v=onepage&q=&f=false ´uª0 http://books.google.com/books?id=7oT3eRnQJB0C&lpg=PA25&ots=UN4uHSh076&dq=Nav´uª0 esink%´uª0 20penelope&pg=PA26#v=onepage&q=Navesink%20penelope&f=false ´uª0 http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/s/t/o/William-R-Stout/GENE9-0002.html ´uª0 http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=6082496 ´uª0 http://www.womenhistoryblog.com/2007/11/penelope-van-princis-stout.html ´uª0 Penelope was born in Amsterdam, Holland, circa 1620/22, the daughter of a Baptist´uª0 ´uª0 preacher´uª0 ´uª0 who had fled Sheffield, England, for religious reasons. When American´uª0 ´uª0 colonization made it´uª0 ´uª0 possible for the English expatriates to leave Holland they, wanting´uª0 ´uª0 their children to retain their´uª0 ´uª0 Englishness, came to the New World. She married shortly´uª0 ´uª0 before leaving Holland in 1640.´uª0 ´uª0 http://taylor-vanzandt.blogspot.com/ ´/uª (Research):\par (Medical):\par Born: abt 1623 1622 amsterdam Resided: \par \par Immigration: shipwrecked on Sandy Hook when ship was sunk in storm\par Resided: \par \par
