Robbed In The Wilderness: The Western Odyssey Of John Hoback, Edward Robinson, And Jacob Reznor, Aaron Cobia

The Thetean: A Student Journal for Scholarly Historical Writing

Warned by John Reed that a band of Shoshones were on the war path, Marie Dorion gathered her two young children, got on her horse, and headed to where her husband, Pierre, was hunting. Delayed by darkness, cold, and fear of Indians, Marie finally reached the hut from which Pierre and the other men were hunting. As she approached the hut, she saw Giles Leclerc "staggering as if unwell." Wounded and faint from the loss of blood, Leclerc told Marie that La Chappelle, Reznor, and her husband had been "robbed and murdered that morning. " Marie put LeClerc and one …

Pleas For Toleration Against The Call Of Treason: The 1890 Shanghai Protestant Missionary Conference And The Controversy Over Chinese Rites, Joseph Seeley

The Thetean: A Student Journal for Scholarly Historical Writing

On May 7,1890, a colorful assortment of Western Protestant missionaries, stationed in all corners of late Qing-dynasty China, gathered in Shanghai for a thirteen-day mission conference. Some came to the conference clad in native Chinese dress, complete with Manchu-style ponytails or queues, while others were dressed more formally in the proper Victorian garb preferred by their non-missionary Western counterparts. Regardless of perceived differences in dress or ecclesiastical affiliation in the multi-denominational assembly, all sought to enjoy what was later described by conference organizers as "an occasion of the highest social enjoyment... as well as spiritual profit." As over four hundred …

Domestic And Foreign Opium Regulation In Victorian England: 1830-1900, Zachary Zundel

The Thetean: A Student Journal for Scholarly Historical Writing

By the nineteenth century, the British Empire had extended its reach all the way around the globe. They did not come to this position easily. Extending their reach required the British to fight wars with many of the major European powers, such as France, both on the mainland and in colonies around the world. China proved to be one of the most difficult areas for the British to extend into. In China the people were resistant to diseases and possessed greater technology than the other areas of the globe. Europeans wanted access to Asia for products such as spices and …


"Concern For ... South Africa Must Not Impel Us To Commit Acts Of Economic Suicide", Michael Milendez May 2024

"Concern For ... South Africa Must Not Impel Us To Commit Acts Of Economic Suicide", Michael Milendez

The Thetean: A Student Journal for Scholarly Historical Writing

The early 1970s marked the gradual end of the silent era in the antiapartheid movements in South Africa. The Black Consciousness movement along with other internal anti-apartheid movements began to gain strength and a greater voice. At the same time, the U.S. government continued to ignore, for the most part, South African affairs. This changed with the Angola Conflict in 1975 and the heightening of internal strife of South Africa, which began with the Soweto Uprisings in 1976. The conflicting economic and strategic interests of the U.S. Government led to policies, which allowed apartheid to survive in South Africa throughout …

Persecution Of Catholic Leaders In The Ussr, Jenevra Owen

The Thetean: A Student Journal for Scholarly Historical Writing

In the early 1900s Russian people sought for change in the government because they were not pleased with the capitalist system under the Tsar. The year 1917 saw the end of the Tsar's reign as he fell to the Bolshevik Party (a socialist group) during the Russian Revolution. This completely altered the face of the Russian government as it ushered in a new era for the Russian people. They had been longing for a transformation within the government, and the revolution served as the means to bring about that change. As a result, the Bolshevik Party was created to provide …

Explaining The Stigma: Emma Smith's Reputation Among Latter-Day Saints, 1860 To Present, Dallan Petersen

The Thetean: A Student Journal for Scholarly Historical Writing

In 1874 Brigham Young declared that Emma Smith, the widow of Joseph Smith, would "be damned as sure as she is a living woman. " Few people have ever elicited enough controversy to be publicly condemn by an LDS Church President, but Emma Smith is among them. Today, Emma Smith is a controversial figure among Mormons, but the reason she became so is less well known. Since the 1980s, LOS books and magazines have claimed her reputation is a product of her refusal to follow her husband's church to Utah in 1846. However, there is no evidence that Emma's reputation …

Manchester And The Lit And Phil, Nik Vigil

The Thetean: A Student Journal for Scholarly Historical Writing

In writing his extensive History, Directory, and Gazetteer of the County Palatine of Lancaster, Edward Baines wrote, "When the increase of wealth and population lead to the establishment of societies for the improvement of the mind and the extension of science, they produce their legitimate influence; of this nature is the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society." The Lit and Phil, as it was most commonly known, was established in 1781 as a society intended for the discussion of topics as diverse as experimental chemistry and the commercial arts. The Lit and Phil was unique in that it was begun …

"Dish For An Epicure": Spanish Perceptions Of Indigenous Food In Mexico And Central America, 1517-1577, Timothy Boyer

The Thetean: A Student Journal for Scholarly Historical Writing

Upon Arrival in Veracruz, Mexico in 1520, the conquistadors were exposed to the sights, sounds, and tastes of the New World. In Cuba they had subsisted on a mostly European diet, but in Mexico they would have to learn to make do with indigenous foods. Their leader, Hernan Cortes, ordered the ships burned to prevent deserters, destroying any hope they had of receiving supplies of European foods during their conquest of what would later become known as Nueva Espana. This left them highly dependent on either their own ability to properly identify food sources or, as was usually the case, …

The Seventh-Inning Stretch[Er]: Analyzing The Antiquated Baseball Rule And How It Governs Fan Injuries At Major League Baseball Games, Chris Breton May 2024

The Seventh-Inning Stretch[Er]: Analyzing The Antiquated Baseball Rule And How It Governs Fan Injuries At Major League Baseball Games, Chris Breton

Denver Sports & Entertainment Law Journal

Fan injuries at Major League Baseball games have been an issue for more than a century. Courts have heavily relied on stare decisis in deciding cases involving fans injured by foul balls but have largely ignored the ever-changing realities of the game. Players are bigger, faster, stronger, and bats shatter with an increasing risk of harm. Through the prevalence of cell phone use-and stadiums maximizing the technological and theatrical aspects of attending a baseball game fans are routinely and deliberately distracted during play. Despite this, fans that are injured have little to no recourse through the judicial system because of …


Delay Of Game: Analyzing The Legality Of The Nba And Wnba Eligibility Rules And Their Effects On Top Amateur Basketball Players, Uriah Tagle May 2024

Delay Of Game: Analyzing The Legality Of The Nba And Wnba Eligibility Rules And Their Effects On Top Amateur Basketball Players, Uriah Tagle

Denver Sports & Entertainment Law Journal

Because of the NBA and WNBA eligibility rules, men are prevented from playing professional basketball in the United States until they are at least nineteen years old and women are prevented until they are at least twenty-two years old. Since these eligibility rules were established pursuant to collective bargaining between the leagues and their respective players unions, it is unlikely that they can be successfully challenged under antitrust law. Consequently, for the time between high school graduation and professional eligibility, men and women can either play NCAA basketball or play professionally internationally. Men can also play in the NBA G-League. …

The Future Of Streaming Music: The Music Modernization Act And New Copyright Royalties Regulations, Callie P. Borgmann May 2024

The Future Of Streaming Music: The Music Modernization Act And New Copyright Royalties Regulations, Callie P. Borgmann

Denver Sports & Entertainment Law Journal

This note details how the Copyright Royalty Board and Congress are seeking to change the music industry. In January of 2018, the Copyright Royalty Board introduced new regulations that outline new procedures for paying songwriters and record labels royalties that derive from streaming services. These regulations will increase royalties from streaming by nearly fifty percent over the next five years and will help to eliminate the disparity between streaming and terrestrial royalty compensation. Additionally, Congress has proposed the Music Modernization Act, which would ultimately create an administrative agency that would handle copyright within the music industry. In the end, these …

Why Are Universities Playing Russian Roulette With Their Students - The Ignored Legal And Ethical Duty, David E. Missirian

Denver Sports & Entertainment Law Journal

This paper examines why colleges and universities sacrifice a group of gifted individuals, student athletes, all for the sake of money and prestige. These universities pay little or no attention to the horrific fate which they are bestowing on their sporting participants. These students are a group who have been promised an elite university education all in return for simply playing the sport that the students enjoy. Yet, despite the blessings the universities purportedly bestow on these athletes, there is a significant price to be paid. The sports they love and for which they are recruited subjects the student athletes …

Denver Sports & Entertainment Law Journal

Independent Sports & Entertainment, LLC ("ISE") brought a claim against Daniel Fegan ("Fegan") for violating a non-compete clause in an asset purchase agreement in California state court. Fegan removed this action to federal court on the basis that the claim was completely preempted by the Labor Management Relations Act. The United States District Court for the Central District of California (the "Court") correctly concluded that the claim was not preempted by the Labor Management Relations Act, because the claim did not exist solely as a result of the National Basketball Association's ("NBA") Collective Bargaining Agreement ("CBA") nor was the claim …

Boogaard V. National Hockey League, Logan P. Desmond, Leeann M. Lower

Denver Sports & Entertainment Law Journal

Former National Hockey League ("NHL") player Derek Boogaard passed away on May 13, 2011 of a drug overdose. On Boogaard's behalf, his parents brought action against the NHL, its Board of Governors, and league Commissioner Gary Bettman, alleging the NHL acted negligently by allowing Boogaard to become addicted to pain killers, breached their voluntarily undertaken duty to monitor his addiction, negligently failed to protect him from brain trauma, and breached their voluntarily undertaken duty to protect his health. In response, the NHL moved to dismiss the case, which was later converted to a motion for summary judgment. Stating preemption by …
