| 释义 |
Polly Cooper was an Oneida woman from the New York colony who took part in an expedition in 1777 to aid the Continental army during the American Revolution. Troops were camped at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania in winter quarters during 1777–78. She and other Oneida walked hundreds of miles to carry hundreds of bushels of white corn to them. Cooper stayed with the troops for a period to teach them how to prepare the white corn, which needed a different cooking technique for digestion. In addition, she aided with herbal supplements and medical care. After the war, the Colonial Army tried to pay Polly Cooper for her valiant service, but she refused any recompense, stating that it was her duty to help her friends in their time of need.[1] Cooper was gifted a black shawl that she saw on display in a store window. Congress appropriated money for the shawl and it was given to her for her services as a cook for the officers of the Continental Army.[2] The shawl is still in the care of the Cooper descendants and is in nearly perfect condition.[3] It has been loaned for display at the Shako:wi, The Oneida Nation Cultural Center.[4] In 2005, she was inducted into the Hall of Fame of the Oneida County Historical Society.[5] The Polly Cooper Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution is located in Chappaqua, New York.[6] In 2004, the Oneida Nation commissioned a bronze statue by sculptor, Edward Hlavka in order to share the oral tradition of Polly Cooper.[7] The twenty-two foot tall, 2,200 pound monument was gifted to the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian and is displayed on the Oneida floor.[8] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.oneidaindiannation.com/polly-cooper-oneida-heroine/|title=Polly Cooper: Oneida Heroine|last=|first=|date=|website=Oneida Indian Nation|language=en-US|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 2. ^{{Cite journal|last=Rockwell|first=William|date=1996|title=The Unpublished Rockwell Papers,” as cited in, “Chief Rockwell’s Polly Cooper|url=|journal=|volume=|pages=|via=Shako:wi Cultural Center}} 3. ^{{Cite journal|last=Hulbert|first=Guy C.|date=February 22, 1994|title=Oneidas Will Display Gift from Martha Washington|url=|journal=Oneida Daily Dispatch|volume=|pages=|via=}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.oneidaindiannation.com/the-polly-cooper-shawl-testimony-to-a-pact-of-the-revolutionary-war/|title=The Polly Cooper Shawl: Testimony to a Pact of the Revolutionary War|last=Oneida|first=|date=|website=Oneida Indian Nation|language=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 5. ^ "Polly Cooper: Oneida Heroine", Oneida Indian Nation 6. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.dar.org/national-society/become-member/chapters-by-state/NY|title=NEW YORK - State and Chapter Web Sites|last=|first=|date=|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.smithsonianmag.com/blogs/national-museum-american-indian/2018/03/15/oneida-nation-aids-american-revolution/|title=New Sound-and-Light Installation Brings to Life the Oneida Nation's Aid to the American Revolution|last=Zotigh|first=Dennis|date=|website=www.smithsonianmag.com|language=en|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 8. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.oneidaindiannation.com/allies-in-war-partners-in-peace/|title=Allies in War, Partners in Peace|last=Oneida|first=|date=|website=Oneida Indian Nation|language=en-US|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}}
