Pequod Mountain
Pequod Mountain is a summit in British Columbia, Canada. Description Pequod Mountain is located east of Moby Dick Mountain in the Battle Range of the Selkirk Mountains. The remote peak is set approximately south of Glacier National Park. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains north into headwaters of Butters Creek and south into Houston Creek which are both tributaries of the Duncan River. Pequod Mountain is more notable for its steep rise above local terrain than for its absolute elevation. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,500 meters (4,921 ft) above Houston Creek in . The first ascent of the summit was made in 1958 by Douglas Anger, Bryan Mitchener and Daniel Neifert.''The Canadian Alpine Journal'' Volume 43, (1960), p. 86. Etymology The landform is named after the ''Pequod'', which was the whaling ship of Herman Melville's novel ''Moby-Dick'' that was published in 1851. In turn, the ship was named for the Algonquian-speaking Pequ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pequod (Moby-Dick)
''Pequod'' is a fictional 19th-century Nantucket whaling ship that appears in the 1851 novel ''Moby-Dick'' by American author Herman Melville. ''Pequod'' and her crew, commanded by Captain Ahab, are central to the story, which, after the initial chapters, takes place almost entirely aboard the ship during a three-year whaling expedition in the Atlantic, Indian and South Pacific oceans. Most of the characters in the novel are part of ''Pequod''s crew. Ishmael, the novel's narrator, encounters the ship after he arrives in Nantucket and learns of three ships that are about to leave on three-year cruises. Tasked by his new friend, the Polynesian harpooner Queequeg (or more precisely, Queequeg's idol-god, Yojo), to make the selection for them both, Ishmael, a self-described "green hand at whaling," goes to the Straight Wharf and chooses the ''Pequod''. Name Ishmael says that ''Pequod'' was named for the Algonquian-speaking Pequot tribe of Native Americans. Melville knew of the trib ...

Pequot
The Pequot () are a Native American people of Connecticut. The modern Pequot are members of the federally recognized Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, four other state-recognized groups in Connecticut including the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation, or the Brothertown Indians of Wisconsin.Pritzker, Barry (2000) ''A Native American Encyclopedia: History, Culture, and Peoples'', pp. 656–657. Oxford University Press. . They historically spoke Pequot, a dialect of the Mohegan-Pequot language, which became extinct by the early 20th century. Some tribal members are undertaking revival efforts. The Pequot and the Mohegan were formerly a single group, but the Mohegan split off in the 17th century as the Pequot came to control much of Connecticut. Simmering tensions with the New England Colonies led to the Pequot War of 1634–1638, which dramatically reduced the population and influence of the Pequot; many members were killed, enslaved, or dispersed. Small numbers of Pequots remained in Connecti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
