Religious Language And The American Presidency, Shinjin Lee
Religious Language And The American Presidency, Shinjin Lee
Phi Alpha Theta Pacific Northwest Regional Conference
Abstract: The United States is not a theocratic county, yet the importance of, and the emphasis on, religion are a quintessential part of understanding American politics and society. This paper explores the way former presidents of the United States treated and spoke of religion(s) has changed during the history of the nation. In order to discover the role and impact of religion in American history I will analyze a selection of various types of writings of the presidents such as formal letters to Congress or the American people, inauguration remarks, official statements, and other speeches from as early as George …
A ‘Superlicious’ Feast: A Rhetorical Analysis Of Davy Crockett’S Almanacs As An Early Form Of White National Identity, Darren L. Letendre
A ‘Superlicious’ Feast: A Rhetorical Analysis Of Davy Crockett’S Almanacs As An Early Form Of White National Identity, Darren L. Letendre
Phi Alpha Theta Pacific Northwest Regional Conference
Abstract: Davy Crockett’s Almanacs, published between 1835 and 1856, have been held as a prime example of nineteenth-century Anglo-American folklore. While authors have commented on their comic qualities and racist content, what has been lacking is a rhetorical analysis, as suggested by Folklorist Stephen Gencarella, which would examine the ways in which “folklore is not something that a folk does, rather… something which constitutes a folk.” This paper analyzes the almanac stories dealing with native peoples in order to understand the political and ideological discourse that was propagated by these publications. Rather than genuine folk-stories faithfully recorded by publishers, these …
The Blood Logs: Factors In The U.S. Decision To Classify The Japanese Biological And Chemical Warfare Program, Linda R. Zhang
The Blood Logs: Factors In The U.S. Decision To Classify The Japanese Biological And Chemical Warfare Program, Linda R. Zhang
Phi Alpha Theta Pacific Northwest Regional Conference
Abstract: The Japanese Imperial Army maintained chemical and biological testing facilities during the Asian Pacific War where unwilling civilians and prisoners of war were subjected to human experiments regarding frostbite, germ warfare, syphilis, weapons testing, and human anatomy. As American forces began occupying Japan and restructuring the country, the Allied Powers established an international tribunal to prosecute Japanese leaders deemed responsible for the war. During this time period, American policymakers would classify the Japanese bio warfare program, essentially protecting Japanese participants in the warfare program from facing trial. My research analyzes why American policymakers would classify Japan’s Biochemical Warfare Program …
The No-Color Of Women: Women And Commemoration In The Treasure Valley Of Idaho, Shaina Lynch
The No-Color Of Women: Women And Commemoration In The Treasure Valley Of Idaho, Shaina Lynch
Phi Alpha Theta Pacific Northwest Regional Conference
Abstract: In this paper, I research the public commemoration of women in the Treasure Valley and Southwest Idaho. Public memorials were sought out, visited, and photographed. A map was created of the locations and added to a website I made as part of this project, www.idahowomeninhistory.com. In order to make an argument for more statuary and monuments to women in Idaho there needed to be an explanation for the omission. I begin with the glaring absence of women in the public sphere and popular history (written and dominated by men), which explains their lack of celebration in public spaces. They …
Fallout From The Wall Street Bombing, Maxwell Mcpherson
Fallout From The Wall Street Bombing, Maxwell Mcpherson
Phi Alpha Theta Pacific Northwest Regional Conference
Abstract: On September 16, 1920, a bomb would go off in the middle of Wall Street killing forty people and injuring over a hundred more. To this day the perpetrator remains unknown, and in the absence of resolution one might question how the contemporary public reacted to this terrorist attack in the heart of Manhattan. Through an archival examination of newspapers printed in the period after the attack it can be seen how this unsolved mystery would fuel persecution and public hysteria in the ensuing months targeting “suspect” political dissidents and ethnic minorities. From studying newspapers published following the bombing …

Asi-Yaholo Or Osceola, Mark F. Boyd
Asi-Yaholo Or Osceola, Mark F. Boyd
Florida Historical Quarterly
Of the numerous Indian leaders who have attracted the attention, the interest, or the sympathy of the people of the whole United States, albeit they never derived any practical advantage therefrom, the notoriety attained by the Seminole leader known as Powell or Osceola, probably drew to that individual more attention than has been given to any other Indian before or since. This fame arose from his resolute opposition to enforced emigration from Florida. His motives were regarded as patriotic, and real or fancied romantic episodes of his career have become a part of our folk-lore. Although seizure and deportation thwarted …

The Site Of Osceola's Village, Wilfred T. Neill
The Site Of Osceola's Village, Wilfred T. Neill
Florida Historical Quarterly
Archeology is generally thought of as being concerned with prehistoric man, but the application of archeological techniques to sites of the historic period often yields valuable data. As recently as 1948, no archeological site had been found that could be attributed to Seminole Indian occupation; the Seminole Period in Florida was known from historical sources alone. This situation was soon remedied. Goggin investigated the site of Spaulding’s Lower Store on the St. Johns River, recovering a large quantity of colonial artifacts, Seminole pottery, and trinkets intended for the Indian trade. Goggin et al. described a historic Indian burial, doubtless Seminole, …
Osceola And The Negroes, Kenneth W. Porter
Osceola And The Negroes, Kenneth W. Porter
Florida Historical Quarterly
Osceola, if not the most important Indian leader in the Seminole War (1835-1842), is certainly the best known. His fame is largely due to the circumstances of his capture and death, but the Abolitionist movement of his own day also contributed. That Osceola was driven into hostility to the United States by the seizure and reduction to slavery of one of his wives, the daughter of an Indian chief and a runaway Negro woman, is one of the best-known and most generally accepted “facts” of his career. Actually, the story, so far as it concerns Osceola, is unsupported by trustworthy …
The White Flag, Florida Historical Society
The White Flag, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the long history of the American Indians no name is more widely known than Osceola. At the time of his death especially, he was talked of throughout the entire country. Towns in a score of states were named for him, and there are three counties which bear his name - in Iowa, Michigan, and Florida. This was largely because of a small piece of white cloth: the violation of a flag of truce under the orders of General Jesup, then in command of the Army in Florida. Standing under the white flag, Osceola was seized, imprisoned, and died soon …
Notes On Modern Seminole Traditions Of Osceola, William C. Sturtevant
Notes On Modern Seminole Traditions Of Osceola, William C. Sturtevant
Florida Historical Quarterly
Romantic interest among whites in the figure of Osceola began even before his death, and has continued ever since. His abilities as a warrior, his dramatic flair, and the well publicized circumstances of his capture and of his death in captivity soon thereafter, account for this interest. Many who know nothing else about the Seminole know Osceola’s name and some of the white folklore about him. He is almost certain to crop up in casual questioning of the Seminole today by tourists and others. On one occasion, I was present when a customer asked a leading Seminole enterpreneur in his …

The Disappearance Of The Head Of Osceola, May Mcneer Ward
The Disappearance Of The Head Of Osceola, May Mcneer Ward
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the last few years interest in Osceola has been increased by the controversy between Florida and South Carolina over the grave of the famous Seminole chief. South Carolina has the headless bones of Osceola, buried on Sullivan’s Island in Charleston harbor, where he died in Fort Moultrie, and Floridians think that the grave should be in Florida where he lived, and refused to leave voluntarily.
Osceola: Portraits, Features, And Dress, John M. Goggin
Osceola: Portraits, Features, And Dress, John M. Goggin
Florida Historical Quarterly
The most colorful figure of the unpopular Second Seminole War, Osceola, the Seminole war leader, early caught the imagination of the American public. 1 As a result, although we lack details of his early history, we have a good amount of data for his military career, and numerous comments on his appearance. He was the subject of several original sketches and paintings, as well as numerous engravings taken from them. However, differences between some of these “from life” renderings, raise the question of exactly what Osceola did look like!

A Trip To Florida, 1867: Three Letters Of Mary R. Birchard, Mary R. Birchard
A Trip To Florida, 1867: Three Letters Of Mary R. Birchard, Mary R. Birchard
Florida Historical Quarterly
Mary Roxana Birchard, daughter of Austin Birchard, of Fayetteville, now Newfane, Vermont, was a first cousin of Rutherford Birchard Hayes who on March 4, 1877 became the nineteenth President of the United States. When Mary Birchard visited Florida during February and March, 1867, her cousin Rutherford was a Representative from Cincinnati, Ohio, in the Fortieth Congress of the United States.
A Massachusetts Mechanic In Florida And Mexico, 1847, Arthur W. Thompson
A Massachusetts Mechanic In Florida And Mexico, 1847, Arthur W. Thompson
Florida Historical Quarterly
The growing tension between the United States and Mexico during the early part of 1846 found Florida singularly unenthusiastic for war. For one thing, she had only achieved statehood the year before. Then, too, she still felt the adverse impact not only of the 1837-43 depression, but also - more important - the devastation of the Seminole War. Despite these feelings, when Congress actually declared war on May 13, 1846, there was general support for the cause throughout the state. Ultimately, five Florida companies were called into service and three saw action in Mexico.
Florida And The British Investor, 1880-1914, Alfred P. Tischendoff
Florida And The British Investor, 1880-1914, Alfred P. Tischendoff
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the generation preceding World War I the attention of British investors focused on Latin America, the Far East, British Dominions, and the United States. Florida was not neglected by Britishers during the years from 1880 to 1914. At least 15 Limited companies with an authorized capital over 2.7 million were registered in London in this period to carry on business in the state. A promotional campaign that reached its climax in the 1890’s sought to interest the public in Florida ventures. Army and Navy officers, Members of Parliament, and titled gentry held shares and directorships in many of the …

Cuban Bloodhounds And The Seminoles, James W. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
Throughout history man has made use of animals in his warfare. During the Middle Ages the “Man on horseback” gained many victories against those on foot who opposed him and it was not until the effective use of the long bow and gun powder that the foot soldier could hold his own in combat. The first animal that European man domesticated was the dog. Even as late as World War II canines of several breeds were used by both sides to guard against surprise attack and to track down fleeing foes and prisoners.

The Case Of Some Inhabitants Of East Florida, 1767-1785, Barbara Gorely Teller
Florida Historical Quarterly
In London, in the spring of 1823, a young clerk named Daniel, in the House of Delcroix, Perfumers, received word that Mrs. Isabella Stout, widow of Daniel Stout of Nassau in the Bahamas, had been searching the length and breadth of England for him, as he was heir to part of the estate left by his aunt, Mary Rolph Stout of Nassau. The Colonial Secretary for the Bahamas, Mr. Samuel Nesbit, had also been searching, and about the same time located young Daniel and other members of his mother’s family, the Rolphs of Canterbury, who empowered Nesbit to receive their …

The Florida Executive Council, An Experiment In Civil War Administration, William C. Havard
Florida Historical Quarterly
The conduct of a major war, even under favorable conditions of internal stability, often results in a state of organized confusion in the government. For the South in the Civil War, the administration of the war effort was complicated to an unusual degree by the necessity of simultaneously reorganizing the political union which bound the states together. And even within the individual states themselves, the urgency of the war situation demanded the assumption of governmental functions which were new to the states-functions such as external defense, control of the manufacturing and transportation of essential goods, and the financing of these …

We have made a noteworthy, a surprising increase in membership, and this is now larger than ever before. We are proud of that, but our library is important, too. Membership comes first and we cannot let down there, for we must expect to lose members continually and would die without new members. Also, we should have in mind a home for our Society sometime in the future. But shall we not emphasize our library now.
