Frontier Port On The Mississippi: A History Of The Legend Of Natchez Under-The-Hill, 1800-1900, Michael Francis Beard

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Natchez Under-the-Hill, from 1800 to 1840 the second leading river port on the Mississippi, played a central role in the economic life of the Old Southwestern frontier. Despite this, it was chiefly known to contemporaries in both America and abroad as a center of intemperance, prostitution, gambling, and violence.

During the antebellum years this image of the Natchez waterfront was a symbol of the Myth of the Wild and Savage West, which assumed Westerners were violent, immoral, and uncivilized. The lawlessness and vice of the port, widely touted in travel journals and newspapers, provided evidence to non-westerners that their perceptions …

The Vertebrate Paleontology Of Late Pleistocene (Rancholabrean) Mammalian Sites Of Louisiana, Linda L. Rice

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This thesis describes the late Pleistocene (Rancholabrean) vertebrate paleontology of Louisiana through the use of vertebrates as paleoenvironmental indicators. This method of interpretation is established through morphological description and evaluation, taphonomy, systematic paleontology, and in some cases, the use of modern analogs.

This study compares and contrasts Louisiana with other southeastern states during the late Pleistocene. This comparison shows that Louisiana did not vary significantly from the rest of the southeastern United States during the late Rancholabrean. This work also shows that the most common habitats of Louisiana at this time were open temperate woods, grasslands, and marshes. Geographically, most …

The Butterflies And Skippers Of The Tunica Hills Of Southeastern Louisiana And Southwestern Mississippi., Michael Lawrence Israel

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The Tunica Hills region is located in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana and north into Wilkinson County, Mississippi. It is characterized by hills 60-122 m above sea level that are composed of loess deposits. A mixed mesophytic forest association dominated by magnolia, holly and beech occurs here. A 3 1/2 year study was instituted to examine the butterfly and skipper species of this area. A lowland area (Polly Creek) 30.48 m in elevation and a higher area (Highlands) 97.54 m in height were intensively sampled. Previous records were compiled with the data taken during 1977-1980. Eighty-two species of butterflies and skippers …

Indigenism And Feminism In The Prose Fiction Of Rosario Castellanos., George Alexander St. John Robinson

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The novel of Indian concern has had a long vogue in Latin America, where it is known alternately as novela indianista or novela indigenista. This tradition in the novel has produced such well known works as Lopez y Fuentes' El indio, Alcides Arguedas' Raza de bronce, Jorge Icaza's Huasipungo and Ciro Alegr(')ia's El mundo es ancho y ajeno, all published between 1919 and 1941. These novels seek to illustrate the deplorable conditions of life in Indian communities from Mexico to Bolivia. In so doing, however, the Indian characters of these novels are generally reduced to single dimensional characters devoid of …

Remarque's 'Weltanschauung': A Study In Fictional Dualism., Ingrid Ehrmann Gross

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The objective of this study was to examine Remarque's Weltanschauung as expressed through his novels. Remarque sees the world negatively when he regards it as a whole. This all-encompassing world, the macrocosm, is defined by two basic factors: the evil side of man's nature, and the existence of death. The world, as Remarque views it, is not ruled according to a divine plan but is a world of man's own making. Because man has been unable to keep in check his tendencies for committing evil, he has brought about the events which characterize the first half of the twentieth century: …

A Quantitative Evaluation Of Landsat For Monitoring Suspended Sediments In A Fluvial Channel., Soon Tae Kim

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Since the launch of Landsat-1 July, 1972, the orbital remote sensing system has made significant contribution to earth science research. Landsat's repetitive "earth observations" are of great value for monitoring changes in earth surface conditions through time. Investigation of suspended sediment concentrations in natural water bodies is one of the major areas of Landsat applications. An attempt has been made to evaluate the utility of Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS) digital data for monitoring suspended sediment concentrations in a natural river channel using Tarbert Landing, Mississippi on the lower Mississippi River as the test site. Specific purposes of the study were: …

Geojurisprudence: Studies In Law, Liberty, And Landscapes., Ernest St. Clair Easterly Iii

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Every culture must generally possess an order that is either deliberately created (human design) or the result of experience (human action). Two ordering forces, Human Design and Human Action, manifest themselves in the form of laws and legal systems which govern the individuals who form the thus ordered civil society. The Anglo-American Common Law family of legal systems and the Romano-Germanic Civil Law family of legal systems basically reflect the ordering forces of Human Action and Human Design, respectively. Because laws and legal systems leave the imprint of sovereign authority on the landscape, the study of the culture history and …
