Hannah A. Rosebrook: Community Journalist/Local Historian 'The Fairview News,' Kearny County, Kansas, 1918 - 1980, Lee Pendergrass
Fort Hays Studies Series
In reading these columns one should never assume that community life was submerged by important national events such as World War II. Rather community life remained surprisingly normal and one gains the impression that the people Mrs.Rosebrook knew were determined not to allow their everyday life to be disrupted by any catastrophe, including the Dust Bowl storms. Perhaps this was their way of coping.

Unlike many other groups,the Germans from Russia have maintained a pronounced awareness of their ethnic identity, a fact which testifies not only to an inherent vitality but also to the quality of their social, cultural, and religious values.

Early Pioneer Families In Decatur County, Kansas, Lillian Shimmick

Fort Hays Studies Series
The eventual struggle between these two Weltanschauungen, National Socialism, and Marxism, needed to be translated into reality. The Program of the National Socialist German Worker's Party proposed in Point 22 the creation of a People's Army. After 1941 he intensified his attempts to make the Wehrmacht the tool of National Socialist ideology. It is the purpose of this study to trace Hitler's evolving program of using the military to accomplish his political ends.

The Social Views Of Dwight L. Moody And Their Relation To The Workingman Of 1860-1900, Myron Raymond Chartier
Fort Hays Studies Series
This evaluation is complicated for two basic reasons. The amount of subjectivity that enters into one's assessment always plagues any attempt on the part of the historian to be objective; however, it seems that religious phenomenon is even more difficult to evaluate honestly. This writer believes that he has no "axes to grind" in regard to Moody and the workingman. The record of history has been the primary interest.

J.C. Denious: Public Servant And State Promoter Of Southwestern Kansas, Larry N. Lane

This biographical study is primarily concerned with the political, economic, and social activities and interests of Mr. Denious while he served in the capacity of State Senator and Lieutenant Governor. In the course of state growth and development, it is unfortunate that important contributions by certain dedicated public servants are little known or remembered. In a small way, it is the purpose of this study to help rectify this situation.
Kansas Mennonites During World War I, Arlyn John Parish
Kansas Mennonites During World War I, Arlyn John Parish
Fort Hays Studies Series
The story of the Mennonites of Kansas during World War I has never been told. This account should be of interest both as an incident in general Mennonite history and as an episode in the social history of the United States, for it demonstrates many of the problems of incorporating a minority group into the broader society.

Fort Hays Studies Series
Prior to the era of revolution the people and the government of the United States came into contact chiefly with the border regions of Spain's American empire. Such areas as Florida, Texas, and the Greater Antilles were absorbing the attention of American expansionists.

A History Of Fort Hays Kansas State College 1902-1961, Lyman Dwight Wooster
Fort Hays Studies Series
At this time, when Kansas is celebrating its centennial, it seems appropriate to gather together some of the records of Fort Hays State to preserve them as a heritage for those who will utilize the resources of the college in the future. Dr. L. D. Wooster, President Emeritus, recognized the importance of this heritage and spent the last years of his life gathering material for a history of Fort Hays Kansas State College.
San Martín: One Hundred Years Of Historiography, Katharine Ferris Nutt
San Martín: One Hundred Years Of Historiography, Katharine Ferris Nutt
Fort Hays Studies Series
It is the opinion of this writer that the answer to the riddle of San Martín may better be sought in his relations with Lord Cochrane than in those with Simon Bolívar and the Quayaquil controversy, an avenue which historians have for years followed without arriving at any satisfactory conclusion. It is this writer's purpose to show that the misunderstandings regarding San Martín's character and his place in history stem from a very logical and comprehensible situation.

Several books and articles have been written concerning Isaac McCoy, but as far as I am able to find out there has been no book, article, or research paper written on the plan of Indian colonization that originated with McCoy, and his work for the fulfillment of that plan.
