Someone mentioned in class one semester that they were afraid they might check back on the Blog and see a picture of my grandpa! Well, here's a challenge. I've been doing family genealogy over the past 17 years and the person you see here is my 3rd great grandfather. His name was Leonard "Yankee" Wilson and he was born 07 Oct 1813 in Schodack, Rensselaer, New York and died 02 Feb 1889 in Orillia, Simcoe, Ontario, Canada. He was a merchant.Next class we'll be discussing the different types of societies throughout human history from hunting/gathering to postindustrial, and the revolutions that caused the transitions to the next type of society.
So the challenge is: What type of Society did Leonard live in? Your options are
1) Hunting/Gathering, 2) Pastoral/Horticultural, 3) Agricultural, 4) Industrial, or 5) Postindustrial.
