Doctor For Me? No Sir-E! Common Diseases That Miners Faced During The Early 1900s, Alicia Hansen

Theory and Practice: HIST430

Today, going to the doctor is about as eventful as going to the bank. We get check-ups once a year and make a visit every time we get a sniffle, but during the late part of the nineteenth century and early part of the twentieth century people were more reluctant to step foot in the doctor's office in fear of what the diagnosis might be. During the time where you could find an ad for cigarettes in medical journals or buy Adrenalin shots out of a catalog, people did not put their health as their number one priority whether it …

The Motherland Calls!: Nationalist Propaganda In The Soviet Union During The Great Patriotic War, Carolyn Blood

Senior Theses

How One Family Created Chinese America, Angilee Shah

China Beat Blog: Archive 2008-2012

Hyphenated cultures seem to be a natural part of California’s landscape today, but it wasn’t always so. The Lucky Ones by Mae Ngai offers a fresh look at California history by reconstructing the lives of immigrant and second generation pioneers who lived between cultures when it was not such a common phenomenon. Ngai’s narrative brings Chinese Americans into a richer tradition of historical storytelling by humanizing an ambivalent, middle-class immigrant family, situating their lives within the more well-known histories of Chinese laborers and those who suffered from the 1882 Exclusion Act.

Ngai is a professor and immigration historian at Columbia …

These local publications gave the other side of the stories that the corrupt sheriff and …

The Walker War Reconsidered, Ryan Elwood Wimmer

Theses and Dissertations

In July of 1853, Chief Wakara's band of Utes clashed in a series of violent confrontations with the Mormon settlers. This conflict is known as the Walker War. Many complex factors contributed to this war. After some earlier violence between Mormons and different bands of Utes between 1847 and 1851, the Mormons continued their quick expansion settling on Ute lands. From 1851 to 1853 Mormon and Ute relations continued to decline as Mormons expanded their settlements occupying Ute hunting grounds. In addition to these land encroachments, new laws were enacted regulating trade between the Spanish and Utes by Brigham Young. …
