High Desert Homesteader: Alice Day Pratt, A Single Woman In Post, Oregon, Cathleen Croghan Alzner

Dissertations and Theses

It is important to recognize the role of women in the development of the Trans-Mississippi West. Of the thousands of homesteaders, a significant percentage were single women. While a few historians have documented women homesteaders on the Great Plains, there is little information about those in the Pacific Northwest, particularly Oregon. The efforts of homesteaders who came to Central Oregon at the beginning of the twentieth century provide valuable information about the development of the region.

The purpose of this study is to document the homesteading efforts of Alice Day Pratt, a single woman and teacher. It attempts to put …

Sebastopol State Historical Park (41gu9), Seguin, Texas: Archeological Excavations, 1978-1988, Sandra R. Sauer, Art Black, Cynthia Brandimarte

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

The town of Seguin in Guadalupe County, Texas, was known for its numerous limecrete structures. Limecrete structures probably once numbered more than 100; now, the house known as Sebastopol is one of only two still standing. Between 1978 and 1988, archeological excavations were conducted by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department in and around Sebastopol. The excavations were preparatory to and in conjunction with architectural restoration of the building and development of the site as a State Historical Park. Archeological excavations were intended to evaluate only those areas impacted by the architectural restoration. Excavation units were placed primarily in and …

Everything's Relative: The Theory Of Relativity's Influence On Early Twentieth-Century Thought, Shawna Jo Randall

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

In the early twentieth century Albert Einstein revolutionized humankind's understanding of the universe. Few scientific innovations have had as pervasive an impact as Einstein's Theory of Relativity. His conjectures accounted for scientific phenomena which were otherwise unexplained. With a set of abstract equations, he created unity and consistency among otherwise disconnected entities. He redefined the universe and transformed previous notions about space and time. For the scientific community the Theory of Relativity established a foundation for subsequent developments in physics. It is important to note, however, that the nonscientific community was also profoundly affected by Einstein's theory. Lay people did …

A Silhouette Of Society, Gerri Waters Sorenson

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

With a land survey completed by George Washington, the Virginia Assembly approved an act on May 11, 1749 which established the town of Alexandria. By 1760 a traveler described the burgeoning city as ''a small trading place, situated on an arch of a large circular bay ... at one extremity of which is a wharf; at the other a dock for building ships." Annexed as part of the District of Columbia in 1791, a young merchant from London commented around this time that "the town was mainly one street, running northeast and southwest ... Wooden houses predominated with a few …

Show And Tell: The Biases Of Plutarch And Euripides, Annalee Tyler

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

It can be said that there is no such thing as an unbiased viewpoint. For a newspaper columnist, a politician, or a radio talk-show host, this is good news. But for the historian, it proves to be somewhat problematic. Is it possible to gain an accurate view of the facts if there is, essentially, no such thing? Most history is written by the victors, the conquerors who wish to glorify themselves and their cause. Where is the record for the lower classes, women, and children? Even those who purport to be impartial have views that are colored by their backgrounds, …

Diego Rivera In The United States: "Working From Within The Enemy Camp", Sarahí Dehesa-Avelar

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

The most notorious twentieth-century Mexican artist and politician, Diego Rivera, stepped up to the international pedestal of art in the late 1920s. Recognized for his revival of mural painting and undeniable compositional skill, the middle-aged Rivera was crowned a Michelangelo of modern art by artists, intellectuals, and admirers of the time. When Rivera traveled to the United States to show off his peacock's tail, the American media also participated readily in the servile flattery of the Mexican master. Yet, as was evident in print media, Rivera's art was revered more for its technical ability to depict Mexico and its culture, …

Looking Through A Paradox An Environmental History Of Two Mormon Communities, Jenna Howick Tilt

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

"Nature is both powerfully attractive and powerfully repellent,"¹ describes the "Western Paradox" as it was first described by Donald Worster in his Under the Western Skies: The West has been an American symbol of independence, equality and self-preservation from its earliest day, but that freedom had a price. The scarcity of water in the arid West shackled these free spirited adventurers as they became slaves to canals, dams and irrigation ditches.² Their natural spirit seemed to be defied by the world of technology and machines, which they sought to leave behind by coming West. Yet, by coming to …

The Ottoman Navy 1900-1918 : A Study Of The Material Personnel And Professional Development Of The Ottoman Navy From 1900 Through The Italian, Balkan, And First World Wars., Karl Wilhelm Augustus Darr

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

As seafaring states evolve into nations and nations into empires, the power that protects such maturation is seapower. Geographic isolation via deserts or seas can obtain time for political and social evolution. However, only a formidable naval presence can ensure external security in order that internal reforms take root. No major modern power has survived without an adequate indigenous navy. This doctrine holds true especially in reviewing the navy of the Ottoman Empire in the early twentieth century.

In this thesis, l show that the absence of tangible fleet units cost the Ottoman Empire not only the peripheries of the …

Laval 1931 : A Diplomatic Study, Sebastian Volcker

Master's Theses

This thesis sheds light on a hitherto neglected chapter in the life of Pierre Laval, one of France's most controversial political figures in the twentieth century. Widely remembered as Vice-Premier (Vice-President du Conseil des Ministres) of the Vichy government during World War II, Laval is less known as the premier (President du Conseil des Ministres) who attempted to solve the grave financial and diplomatic dilemmas dividing France, Great Britain, the United States, and Germany in 1931. In that year, he engaged in one last grand diplomatic effort, before Adolf Hitler came to power, traveling to London, Berlin and Washington, D.C., …

Margie Shumate : A Virginia Missionary's Experience In Asia, 1915-1958, Cara F. Griggs

Honors Theses

In 1915 Virginia missionary Miss Margie Shumate arrived in Shiu Hing in the South China Mission of the Southern Baptist Convention. Until the Communists forced her to leave, Miss Shumate served the Chinese with complete devotion, surviving political problems, social upheavals, and difficulties that most would not even want to imagine. Although the transition to a new field was difficult, Miss Shumate served first in Hong Kong and then in Thailand before her 1958 retirement. Unable to imagine life without the Chinese and mission work, Miss Shumate died soon after her retirement. Hers is story of adaptation, acceptance, and determination. …
