Symposium on Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
In this paper, I explore the murder of Christian H. Schindeldecker and how the police were able to find and prosecute the murderer, Edward Gottschalk. I recount the actions of Chief of Police John O'Connor and his men as they follow the clues and with a little luck connect the dots of the mysterious murder. Thirteen days after Schindeldecker was murdered, Gottschalk was arraigned for murder. Solving the murder of Christian Schindeldecker was one of the best cases of detective work ever done in Minnesota. Following the firsthand account of Chief Deputy Sheriff Frank Robert Jr., court papers, and contemporary …
War, Railroads, And The West: The Lost Story Of J.R. Scupham, William Scupham
War, Railroads, And The West: The Lost Story Of J.R. Scupham, William Scupham
Symposium on Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
The Scupham family currently spread across Indiana and Illinois is fairly well established and confident in its past. From the earliest familial records – dating only to the Civil War – a lone figure emerged: William C. Scupham, private in the Union Army, 1st Illinois Light Artillery. However, in looking through the regimental roll for the 1st Illinois, one finds, somewhat shockingly, another soldier with the same last name: John R. or J.R. Scupham. William’s story is well known – his stay at Andersonville prison is well documented – but who was this shadowy J.R.? Even more compelling is that …
An Army For The Revolution, A Revolution For The Army: The French Revolutionary Army, 1792-1797, William Scupham
An Army For The Revolution, A Revolution For The Army: The French Revolutionary Army, 1792-1797, William Scupham
Symposium on Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
There is a common myth about the average French soldier at the time of the French Revolution that presents him as a reckless, heroic citizen-soldier, swept to victory by the power of revolutionary fervor. This myth obscures some important realities of French military life. The French military was often characterized not by fantastic victories, but rather by an early incompetence. Indeed, this inability threatened to destroy France on many occasions. This essay attempts to reconcile the myth and reality by exploring what motivated common Frenchmen to fight and win wars. Demographic, political, tactical, and organizational analysis of the French Revolutionary …
Portraits On The Wall, Ellen Croll
Portraits On The Wall, Ellen Croll
Symposium on Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
The focus of “Portraits on the Wall” is discovering the history behind two family heirlooms. Through online archival and ancestry websites, a tentative history of the portraits was found. Once a more clear background was established, a complete line of descent was created starting with the current generations of the family and traced back to one generation previous to the portraits. While searching for answers about the subjects of the portraits, an abundance of family history was unearthed. Everything from local politicians, to Supreme Court cases against step-mothers, successful business owners, to friends of presidents. While investigating the subjects in …
The Decline Of The Knights Templar In Medieval Times, Elizabeth Keller
The Decline Of The Knights Templar In Medieval Times, Elizabeth Keller
Symposium on Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
The Knights Templar had risen to be one of the most feared and powerful societies in the 1100s. Their fame and fortune were unlike any other “religious” society of the time, which drew much unwanted attention and scrutiny their way. Eventually, they were ostracized and disbanded because of their unrighteousness, lack of charitable contribution, and ruthlessness when it came to debt owed. I conclude that their eventual disbandment was not because of their unrighteousness on the whole, but mostly because the Pope and other powerful men owed them too much money. They were disbanded only 200 years after their creation, …
In The Land Of Beer, Brats, And Bootlegging: A Personal Account Of Milwaukee History, Marissa Schmidt
In The Land Of Beer, Brats, And Bootlegging: A Personal Account Of Milwaukee History, Marissa Schmidt
Symposium on Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
In all of the United States, one may be challenged to find a city that even today has remained quite as German as Milwaukee. Why is this? Within the boundaries of this paper, I have sought to answer this question by exploring one specific branch of my family tree, the Froehlichs. Their experiences in coming to Milwaukee from Germany and raising many generations there, directly mirror the stories of thousands of other German immigrants at the time. Together, these immigrants built a very tight-knit and unique American community that successfully blended some of the best elements of German culture and …
Beating Down The Lowly: The Criminalization Of The Homeless And Alternative Solutions, Amber Will
Beating Down The Lowly: The Criminalization Of The Homeless And Alternative Solutions, Amber Will
Symposium on Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
In the current economy, the issue of homelessness is increasingly pervading the normal constructs of society. Thousands of men, women, and children struggle to find a place to sleep and enough food to satisfy their hungry stomachs. While many people suffer under these conditions, local governments continue to create new anti-homeless legislation to further eject them out of society. Bans prevent the homeless from urinating, sleeping, camping, and panhandling in public through fines and prison sentences. The laws specifically target the homeless, discriminating against them for actions which are necessary for daily survival. The legal system only further hurts this …
The Bloody Summer Of 1863: How Memory And Commemoration Have Shaped The History Of The Battle Of Gettysburg, Tim Hopps
Symposium on Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
The Battle of Gettysburg often exists in the minds of the general public as the most significant battle of the American Civil War. However, at the same time, the battle over control of the Mississippi River was reaching its climax at Vicksburg, which often receives less attention. Despite the apparent significance of controlling the southern stronghold of Vicksburg, a majority of memory of the Civil War rests within the confines of the Battle of Gettysburg. Through the research of primary and secondary sources, I will establish the military history of the Battle of Gettysburg and the Siege of Vicksburg. I …
