During fall when the melons are ripe and plentiful, the flat, watermelon-like seeds are often found in coyote scat." The gourds are often used by artists to make bowels and other decorative arts. "The striped, green gourds are fibrous and unpalatable inside, but ground seeds were eaten by native Indians, and the dried gourds were used as rattles in dances. ![]() Notes: Cucurbita palmata, a dicot, is an annual or perennial herb that is native to California and is also found outside of California, but is confined to western North America. Range: Southwestern California, Desert, San Joaquin Valley, Central Western California Leaf: The dark green, light-veined leaves are sharply palmate with usually five long triangular points. The fruits ripen from green with greenish-white stripes to bright yellow and then pale gold when the gourd is dry. The plant bears smooth spherical or almost spherical squash fruits 8 to 10 centimeters wide. The stiff, curling yellow flowers are 6-8 cm wide.

Moreover the speed of the change and the abandonment of traditional military practice, demonstrated that in military terms the Irish were not rooted in the past but were eager to align themselves with the dynamism of contemporary European martial culture. The armies of Hugh O’Neill did not reflect their primitive antecedents, but indicated the wholesale adoption of new methods and technology, which were dominating the battlefields of Europe. This image was not just the preserve of the Celtic revival’s artistic interpretation of Irish mythology, but was also seen in the deliberately archaised writings of Lughaidh Ó Clérigh in the early seventeenth century, whose description of the Battle of the Yellow Ford in 1598 resembled a clash between the Iron Age heroes of myth and the modern forces of the English invaders, but Ó Clérigh’s version was also a myth. The popular image of the zenith of Irish martial vigour has tended to be the romanticised Celtic warrior with spear, sword and shield. ![]() Reassessment of the contemporary accounts suggest the horrors in Ulster were overstated at the time, and later interpretations have emphasised aspects of the devastation caused by nine years of war, to apportion blame to one side of the conflict in this case the English. Furthermore, the modern vogue for equating the closing stages of the war with genocide is founded on questionable sources. Therefore I will explore how and why English and Irish writers have sought to portray the Irish as crude and unsophisticated for 400 years. In military terms the Irish were anything but primitive, indeed in many ways they were more advanced than their English adversaries. ![]() Two key strands of this myth are of particular concern the primitivism displayed by the Irish and the brutalities of a war with a backward society. Deconstruction of assumptions about the conflict show that many of them are not supported by the evidence. However, the narrative is riven with fabrications which began during the war have proliferated in the modern historiography. This appears very neat and uncontentious when one considers the continuing controversies raised by the wars of the 1640s. Moreover, the war gave rise to greater levels of savagery and civilian victimisation than warfare in the rest of Western Europe. This was ultimately doomed to failure, as primitive Ireland could never hope to match the economic and military strength of Gloriana’s England. The Nine Years War, also known as Tyrone’s Rebellion appears to have a popular image of an irregular war of ambush and retreat, fought by Irish lords to throw off English rule.
