Alfred Henry Lewis, Abe C. Ravitz

Western Writers Series Digital Editions

He was a cowboy and a lawyer, a journalist and a novelist. At ease passing the time of day with drifters in front of Melinda's House of Call at Watrous (Mora County) in the sparse territory of New Mexico or debating socio-economic philosophy with sophisticated Tammany politicians just outside City Hall in New York, Alfred Henry Lewis—Western regionalist and Eastern muckraker—was enchanted by America’s land of legend and myth beyond the frontier, and he forever glanced backward with nostalgia at his “pampas years,” when he roved "for many moons" between “the Canadian in the Panhandle and the Gila in Arizona.” …

A Measurement Of The Improvement Of Attitudes Toward Death In Middle School/Junior High School Students, Mary Catherine Holland Canole

Open Access Master's Theses

Children today have a limited knowledge and experience with death in our culture. This lack of experience has resulted in the tremendous fear of the unknown - death. Death education has been an attempt to reduce a child's anxiety toward death. Since it was uncertain whether death education was effective with young children this study was developed to test whether students being exposed to a death education program would have a better attitude toward death than students who had not had any death education. Death education hopefully improves one's attitude toward death.

One hundred and forty-six randomly selected students were …

Sailing “The Old Ship Zion”: The Life Of George D. Watt, Ronald G. Watt

BYU Studies Quarterly

George D. Watt was a prominent figure in nineteenth-century Utah, but because he apostatized from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he is now an obscure individual in Mormon history. Watt was baptized in England in 1837, and five years later, he and his wife arrived in Nauvoo. After returning to England to serve a mission, he arrived in Utah in 1851. His knowledge of shorthand was valuable for recording speeches from Church leaders, which were published in the Deseret News and Journal of Discourses, and was also useful for helping develop the Deseret Alphabet. He later …

Occupying The Cherokee Country Of Oklahoma, Leslie Hewes

University Studies (University of Nebraska): Papers

"CITIZENSHIP IN THIS NATION, as you know, does not mean the possession of civil rights merely-as it does outside Indian Territory. The right of citizenship in this Nation means ... the right to erect residences and make farms on land bought and paid for by the Nation .... It means the right to materials and benefits which elsewhere must be purchased by the citizen himself." So spoke D. W. Bushyhead, Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, at Tahlequah, Indian Territory, the Cherokee capital, in 1883. He added that all citizens and their posterity expected to enjoy these benefits without limitation …

Altruism And Professionalism: Boston And The Rise Of Organized Legal Aid, 1900-1925, Part Ii, Michael Grossberg

Articles by Maurer Faculty

The Boston Legal Aid Society was founded in 1900. In the years after 1910, led by General Counsel Reginald Heber Smith, the Society assumed leadership of the fledgling movement to offer legal services to the urban poor. Under its influence the first organized attack on the legal problems of the impoverished was launched. The effort had its origins in the social and professional crises that beset turn of the century American cities and lawyers. As described in the first installment of this article, the major difficulty facing the movement during this generative era was how to balance the conflicting demands …

A Lesson From Trollope For Counselors At Law, Thomas L. Shaffer

Journal Articles

This article is about the process by which a person makes up his mind. In literature, the making up of a character's mind is a stage on which an author lets you know about his people and about his time. An example is Huckleberry Finn deciding whether to report Jim, his companion and a runaway slave. I propose to consider another example of a literary character making up his mind-the story of Septimus Harding and the sinecure, in The Warden, a quaint Victorian ecclesiastical tale by Anthony Trollope.

Lawyers spend hours helping their clients make up their minds. The process …
