A folk belief captured by the phrase ‘rain follows the plow’ (RFTP) is a prime example of such misinformation. This belief, popular in the late nineteenth century, maintained that cultivation of arid lands in the United States beyond the 100th meridian west would boost precipitation, creating a climate more favourable for farming. Encouraged by this narrative, homesteaders cultivated arid lands west of the meridian. Rain did not follow the plough and many farms in the Great Plains failed. RFTP was also invoked in South Australia in support of agricultural settlement north of Goyder’s Line, a geographical boundary delineating the limits of reliable rainfall in the colony. This article revisits the origins of the doctrine and places RFTP messaging in its historical context by examining articles and poetry published in American and Australian settlement-era newspapers. The results of two newspaper database surveys reveal that a number of historical RFTP stories and an environmental poem with religious overtones appeared first in US newspapers and were later republished in newspapers throughout Australia. One of the surveys also reveals that, from 1876 to 1898, reports of parliamentary discussions or debates referencing the slogan were published in South Australia. The dissemination of inaccurate climate information in settlement-era America and Australia is discussed in relation to a proposed conceptual framework based upon contemporary theories of science communication that might provide a basis for the analysis of historical science","PeriodicalId":34502,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Environmental History","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41547882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In taking British women’s hunting pursuits and environmental thinking as its focus, this study considers an activity often overlooked in assessments of women’s contributions to colonial practices and dismissed almost entirely in accounts of imperial masculinity that take hunting as their subject matter. Moving beyond the framework of current historiography, this study intends to locate the presence of tiger huntresses in the 1830s and 1840s during the heyday of East India Company rule. The scope of this study also effectively contrasts the actions of British huntswomen in Britain and in India. Second, examining the Eden sisters in the spectacles of big game hunting during the Company Raj demonstrates the nature of British women’s thinking towards Indian wildlife, which was also shaped by their political affiliations and family backgrounds in Britain, when they moved from Britain to India. Taking the subfields of the cultural and political ecology of India, this study illustrates how British women in this period articulated their exotic imaginings regarding Indian wildlife, such as tigers, elephants and wild pigs, that offers a fresh perspective to the reader. Hunting on the backs of elephants during the Company Raj also illuminates how the war functionalities of elephants that had existed in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries had faded away by the later period.","PeriodicalId":34502,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Environmental History","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49592965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
