John C. Freemont's Expeditions Into Utah: An Historical Analysis Of The Explorer's Contributions And Significance To The Region, Alexander L. Baugh
John C. Freemont's Expeditions Into Utah: An Historical Analysis Of The Explorer's Contributions And Significance To The Region, Alexander L. Baugh
Theses and Dissertations
John Charles Fremont conducted five expeditions to the West during a period of twelve years (1842-1854). On four occasions, during three of these expeditions (1843-1844, 1845, and 1854), the explorer entered the Utah region. His explorations in northern Utah in 1843 focused primarily on the scientific analysis and survey of the Great Salt Lake. In 1844, Fremont again entered the Utah area and made scientific observations and calculations about the region, including accurately defining the geographic region known as the Great Basin, the name given it by Fremont. In 1845, Fremont proceeded through Utah while enroute to California and spent …
Finding A New Voice: The Oregon Writing Community Between The World Wars, Karen Stoner Reyes
Finding A New Voice: The Oregon Writing Community Between The World Wars, Karen Stoner Reyes
Dissertations and Theses
The period of 1919 to 1939 was a significant one for the development of the literature of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. The literary work produced in the region prior to the first world war was greatly influenced by the "Genteel tradition" of the late nineteenth century. By 1939, however, the literature of Oregon and the region had emerged from the outdated literary standards of the pre-war period and had found a new, realistic, natural voice, strongly regional in nature and rooted in the modern American tradition.
This change came about in large part through the efforts of a small …
The Theology Of Jurgen Moltmann, Brent A. Wood
The Theology Of Jurgen Moltmann, Brent A. Wood
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The purpose of this thesis is to describe and respond to some of the major themes in the dialectical writings of Jurgen Moltmann.
The first chapter of the thesis examines Moltmann's theological and philosophical heritage. Two key individuals are discussed, Jacob Boehme and Friedrich Schelling. These men are significant for their contribution to Moltmann's basic view of reality and life. Described briefly, all of life is caught up in struggle. At the very foundation of all that is, including God, are two opposing forces, namely being and nonbeing.
It is the contention of this thesis that this orientation has greatly …
A Genealogy Of The Will : A Comparison Of The Works Of Kant, Schopenhauer, And Nietzsche, Jane Elizabeth Edwards
A Genealogy Of The Will : A Comparison Of The Works Of Kant, Schopenhauer, And Nietzsche, Jane Elizabeth Edwards
Master's Theses
This study investigates the development of the notion of man's will upon which Kant, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche based their theories. Although this topic had been virtually neglected in the great intellectual debates of the first to the eighteenth centuries, by the nineteenth century the question of man's will--its origin, function, and value--dominated such philosophical discussions. An exploration of the differences in the perception and role of the will in the works of these three men is attempted, from Kant's redefinition of the nature of will, to Schopenhauer's redirection of its position in philosophical matters, to Nietzsche's radical reinterpretation of the …
William Walker In Nicaragua: A Critical Review In Light Of Dependency Literature, Patrick N. Sweeney
William Walker In Nicaragua: A Critical Review In Light Of Dependency Literature, Patrick N. Sweeney
Graduate Thesis Collection
William Walker's expedition should be a fertile source of examples of such incipient dependency. This is because that expedition was grounded in the political desires of Manifest Destiny and the pragmatic economics of a cross-isthmus connection between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans during the crucial years just before the U.S. Civil war. Walker's actions caused a war in Central America, brought the United States and England to the brink of war, effected a significant economic relationship, and influenced diplomatic relations between Nicaragua and the U.S. for years afterward. Because of these various actions and reactions, this episode in inter-American relations …
Shakespeare's Henry V And The Alexandrian Allusion, Winona Howe
Shakespeare's Henry V And The Alexandrian Allusion, Winona Howe
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The character of Henry V (in Shakespeare's play of the same name) has been a matter of debate among critics, some of whom accept the historical view of Henry as an extraordinarily able and heroic king, while others view him as an extremely unattractive personality, a spiritual hypocrite, and a conqueror of unmitigated cruelty. Cited as supporting evidence for this unflattering portrait is a passage in Act IV which consists of a conversation between two characters, Gower and Fluellen. In this conversation, Henry is compared to Alexander the Great or "the Pig" as Fluellen terms him.
Two critics, Ronald Berman …
Egypt And The Soviet Union, 1953-1970, John W. Copp
Egypt And The Soviet Union, 1953-1970, John W. Copp
Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze in detail the many aspects of the Soviet-Egyptian friendship as it developed from 1953 to 1970. The relationship between the two is extremely important because it provides insight into the roles of both Egypt and the Soviet Union in both the history of the Middle East and in world politics. The period from 1953 to 1970 is key in understanding the relationship between the two states because it is the period of the genesis of the relationship and a period in which both nations went through marked changes in both …
Capitol Reef: The Forgotten National Park, Jonathan Scott Thow
Capitol Reef: The Forgotten National Park, Jonathan Scott Thow
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this study was to examine the changing relationship between the National Park Service and the residents of Wayne County, Utah. In 1937, Capitol Reef National Park was created as a result of the efforts made by local residents looking for a solution to their economic problems. Over the next five decades, the anticipated economic upturn spurred by the National Park did not develop. Instead, the relationship between the parties involved underwent a radical change because of conflicts over private landholdings, grazing and mineral rights, expansion, development, and road building. While this study does trace the growth of …
Martin Harris In Cache Valley - Events And Influence, Scott R. Shelton
Martin Harris In Cache Valley - Events And Influence, Scott R. Shelton
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The well-known Mormon historical figure, Martin Harris, spent the last five years of his life in Cache Valley, Utah. Most of the research done to this point on this man, who claimed to have seen angels and heard the voice of God, has been on the early years of LDS Church history during which Harris was intimately involved with the coming forth of The Book of Mormon. Little has been done on his years in Cache Valley, except for collections of affidavits concerning his testimony.
This study gives a brief overview of Harris's first eighty-seven years, his journey to …
Feathers And Steel: A Folkloric Study Of Cockfighting In Northern Utah, Jesse Lloyd Walker
Feathers And Steel: A Folkloric Study Of Cockfighting In Northern Utah, Jesse Lloyd Walker
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The scope of this thesis is to make a statement on the sport of cockfighting as it is practiced in the counties of northern Utah. It is a sport that has a long and colorful history, a unique body of lore and is practiced by serious, dedicated men.
Cockfighting history emanated from the Manu code of India through the Greek and Roman civilizations, spreading from there both east and west till it girdled the globe. The Roman traditions largely influenced the English Cockers who brought their sport to the American colonies. The southern gentry were quick to adopt the sport, …

The Remarkable John Bigelow, Jr.: An Examination Of Professionalism In The United States Army, 1877-91, Howard K. Hansen Jr.
The Remarkable John Bigelow, Jr.: An Examination Of Professionalism In The United States Army, 1877-91, Howard K. Hansen Jr.
History Theses & Dissertations
This thesis describes the military career of John Bigelow, Jr. , with emphasis on the professional development of United States Army officers. It questions the role Bigelow played in the formation of army professionalism, a sense of corporate responsibility to exercise military expertise correctly. A focus on Bigelow to delineate professionalism in the army provides a fresh perspective of a pivotal period in American military history in the aftermath of the Civil War and before the United States started to build a colonial empire. Bigelow articulated a comprehensive concept of total^ar as he perceived its development in the United States. …
Truth Lifting Up Its Head Above Scandals : The New Law Of Righteousness Proposed By Gerrard Winstanley And The Diggers, John Cook
Honors Theses
In the beginning of 1649 a group of landless people began to build houses and plant crops on the common lands at George Hill in Surrey, England. However these were not ordinary squatters for the Diggers also had a program which declared "freedom to the creation, and that the earth must be set free of the entanglements of lords and landlords, and that it shall become a common treasury to all, as it was first made and given" to men by God. (p.128) Sometime just before this the Diggers' leading spokesman, Gerrard Winstanley, had begun to claim "that many things …
The Troubadour Poets: Their Influence On Their Times, Georgia M. Jarrell
The Troubadour Poets: Their Influence On Their Times, Georgia M. Jarrell
Institute for the Humanities Theses
Troubadour poetry was a phenomenon which occurred in the South of France during the eleventh through the thirteenth centuries. The style was one of political and social invectives and panegyrics, as well as a sophisticated love poetry. The tradition flourished and then died with direct relations to the political and religious events of the era. Through this poetry, the modern reader can not only understand the feelings of the individual poets but also gain insights on the lifestyles of the period and the events which had a bearing on the history of the period. The troubadours were truly mirrors of …

A Study Of Erasmus's Editions Of The Works Of Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Robert B. Hardy
A Study Of Erasmus's Editions Of The Works Of Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Robert B. Hardy
Honors Papers
This thesis had its origins in my reading of an article by Anthony Grafton entitled, appropriately, "The Origins of Scholarship." This article, in the form of a review of Rudolf Pfeiffer's History of Classical Scholarship from 1300 to 1850, attempts to set forth the major tasks faced by historians working on the history of classical scholarship. Grafton states the primary task quite simply as follows: "We want to know not only what the early scholars thought about the studia humanitatis, but how they practiced them." This involves undertaking detailed studies of the scholarly works-editions, commentaries, philological treatises- of early classical …

An Appeal For Racial Justice : The Civic Interest Progressives' Confrontation With Huntington, West Virginia And Marshall University, 1963-1965, Bruce A. Thompson
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
In 1963, the shock waves of the sit-in movement and the growing black unrest throughout the country reached Huntington. This growing discontent with the status quo of segregation and racial discrimination and the impulse from the sit-in movement for direct, non-violent protest combined to mobilize several students at Marshall University who formed the Civic Interest Progressives (CIP), a biracial civil rights group.
The Irish Community In Antebellum Richmond, 1840-1860, Kathryn Lynn Mahone
The Irish Community In Antebellum Richmond, 1840-1860, Kathryn Lynn Mahone

An Historical Overview Of Creativity With Implications For Education, Antoinette S. Ellis
Dissertations and Theses
This thesis traced the development of the concept of creativity from the earliest works in the intellectual history of Western civilization to the late twentieth century. This historical perspective on the concept of creativity served as a backdrop to current views of the concept and as a reference source for recurrent views of the concept and as a reference source for recurrent and essential themes in the progressing debates concerning this issue.

Immigrant Jacksonville: A Profile Of Immigrant Groups In Jacksonville, Florida, 1890-1920, Kathleen Ann Francis Cohen
UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations
From 1890 to 1920, a small foreign immigrant community, diverse in its cultures and religions, put down roots in Jacksonville, Florida, and thrived. This paper concentrates on southern Italians, Russian and Romanian Jews, Syrian Christians, Greeks, and Chinese who left their countrymen in northern urban centers and settled in this city. It investigates the immigrants' old-world origins, their occupational skills, their settlement patterns, and their motivations for immigrating.
The total number of foreign-born white immigrants in Jacksonville was less than 4,000 for the period covered. The manuscript census schedules completed by the Census of Population for 1900 and 1910 provided …

The Scarboro Foreign Mission Society, 1955-1968: The Implications Of The Social Dimensions Of Faith For A Missionary Endeavour, Erin Frances Phillips
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
During the late fifties the Scarboro Foreign Mission Society worked in missions in Latin America, the British Caribbean, and Asia. Their work was primarily parish work. They gave religious instruction, administered the sacraments, and cared for the pastoral needs of their parishoners. In countries with sizeable non-Catholic populations they tried various means to attract people to the Church. In countries with Catholic majorities they experimented with a variety of methods for providing the sacraments and instruction to large numbers of people. Occasionally they became involved in running co-operatives; the reasons they gave for this work emphasized its spiritual benefits.

Structures Of Daily Life : The Material Culture Of Surry County, Virginia, 1690-1715, Anna Louise Hawley
Dissertations and Theses
This is a study of the material culture of Surry County, Virginia for the years 1690 to 1715, based on an analysis of 221 probate inventories. The inventories were divided by decades and then ranked by total appraised value. The bottom 30%, lower middle 30, upper middle 30% and the top 10% are described and changes over time examined. The picture of Surry that emerges is that of a poor county which was, nevertheless, a place of opportunity for the poorer sections of society. The bottom 60% of Surry's residents profited from the brief boom in the tobacco market (1696- …
