Dissertations and Theses
The Centralia Tragedy of 1919 has been represented in numerous works over the course of the past 100 years.

The industries that fueled the city's growth were dependent on cheap and mobile manual labor made available by the expansion of the nation's railroads. As the city prospered and grew, the elite of the city created and promoted an image of Portland as an Eden of material abundance where industriousness and …
