  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Saving the Yellowstone Author: Lang, William L. Year: 1985 The Yellowstone River remains the only major free-flowing stream in the lower 48 states. Defenders of free-flowing status argue that benefits derived from maintaining the historic river surpass those gained through dams. The 1973 Montana Water Use Act placed water allocation in the state's hands, and the 1974 Yellowstone Moratorium gave the state three years to determine the Yellowstone's future. The Montana Fish and Game Department requested maintenance of the instream flow to protect the fisheries and the river, and the state Natural Resources board partially granted the request, thereby preventing dams on the Yellowstone.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Bishops, Authority and Community in Northwestern Europe, c.1050-1150 Author: Ott, John S. Year: 2015 This important new study of episcopal office and clerical identity in a socially and culturally dynamic region of medieval Europe examines the construction and representation of episcopal power and authority in the archdiocese of Reims during the sometimes turbulent century between 1050 and 1150. Drawing on a wide range of diplomatic, hagiographical, epistolary and other narrative sources, John S. Ott considers how bishops conceived of, and projected, their authority collectively and individually. In examining episcopal professional identities and notions of office, he explores how prelates used textual production and their physical landscapes to craft historical narratives and consolidate local and regional memories around ideals that established themselves as not only religious authorities but also cultural arbiters. This study reveals that, far from being reactive and hostile to cultural and religious change, bishops regularly grappled with and sought to affect, positively and to their advantage, new and emerging cultural and religious norms.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: How did the use of propaganda affect the development of Nazi Germany as a single-party state? Author: Schiager, Lindsey Year: 2013 This Internal Assessment investigates how propaganda in the media influenced Nazi Germany's development as a single party state. It reviews Adolf Hitler's background and role in the development of a propaganda ministry as well as Joseg Goebbels, the man who created the propaganda itself. Single party states use propaganda to increase and spread the popularity of the party. There is also a focus on propaganda techniques, such as bright colors to draw a viewer in, and the different propaganda outlets a citizen would have been exposed to. In this investigation, propaganda was found to have positively affected Germany's rise as a single party state, as people viewed it frequently and through many different outlets every day.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A history of the street railway systems of Vancouver, Washington, 1889-1926 Author: Freece, David Warren Year: 1984 The decade of the 1880s was a time of unprecedented development in the Pacific Northwest. Railroads were being constructed, immigration was high, lumber in demand and statehood for Washington appeared imminent. Vancouver, Washington, benefited from this prosperity. In 1888 a Portland firm built a steam powered railway from East Portland, through its real estate development, Woodlawn, to the Vancouver ferry. The success of this enterprise in aiding the sale of real estate was observed by several Vancouver men who formed the Columbia Land and Improvement Company to promote the sale of their property. The company constructed a horse drawn street railway in 1889 from Vancouver's business district north to its development in Vancouver Heights. The railway had mixed financial success and was sold to a Portland man, George B. Markle, in 1892. He electrified it and operated the line until his financial empire crumbled in the Panic of 1893. After several years of operation in the hands of a receiver, the railway ceased running in 1895, and was dismantled two years later.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Labor Violence: the Centralia Case, the IWW and its Enemies Author: Skoog, Lawrence C. Year: 1974 Armistice Day 1919 was enthusiastically celebrated in Centralia, Washington. The Principle event of the day’s activities was a parade organized under the leadership of the newly formed American Legion. But the parade was to be more than the simple affirmation of the victory in France, it was to be a reaffirmation of the patriotism of the newly returned sailors and soldiers and their home-town supporters. Centralia was a troubled city in 1919. Organized labor of the most militant and extreme sort was challenging the oligopoly of the lumber trust. The Industrial Workers of the World had been successful in their strike of 1917 and had worked significant and widespread changes in the wage and work conditions then effective in the lumber camps of the pacific northwest. These “Wobblies” had established an office in Centralia which was a principle transit site for both the lumber camps working in the Cowlitz River foothills and the incredibly rich Grays’ Harbor district. Loggers bound in and out of this location had to stop over in Centralia where they were proselytized by the firey orators of the IWW. The Becker Committee affidavits give us a useful and unique resource for attempting to present the tragic events of November 11, 1919 in Centralia, Washington.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: At what level has standards-based education reform initiatives influenced Oregon high school history instruction and classroom practices? Author: Lowe, Eric V. The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate Oregon public high school history teacher perspectives concerning standards-based reform initiatives springing from the No Child Left Behind legislation. The central question addressed in this study is: At what level has Standards-Based Education reform initiatives impacted Oregon high school history instruction and classroom practices? Paramount to that investigation are questions concerning curriculum guidance, assessment practices, teacher praxis, and school climate conditions. This research enterprise uses a mixed methods approach which encompasses quantitative and qualitative components. As a descriptive study, a two-phase explanatory approach is achieved utilizing an electronic teacher survey instrument and selective follow-up teacher interviews. The survey instrument was modeled after a three state comprehensive research project implemented by the Rand Corporation entitled Standard-Based Accountability Under No Child Left Behind (2007). To accomplish this research investigation, all of the public high school history teachers in Oregon were solicited to participate in the study. Regional distinctions inclusive of urban, suburban, and rural designations were allocated to evaluate any geographic differences in responses. The major findings of the study reveal that teachers perceived an alignment of curriculum to state mandated standards in history, consider their textbooks representative of those standards, acknowledge minimal changes in their teaching praxis for the 2008-2009 school year, rarely administer the voluntary state sponsored Social Studies Knowledge and Skill Test or progress tests, receive minimal administrative or district curriculum oversight, find student preparation and absenteeism to be impediments to learning, and have limited professional development activities associated with state standards or history assessment activities. The conclusions derived from the study show that without a mandated assessment the reality of alignment with standards can not definitively be established. Additionally as an exploratory study the groundwork has been established to further evaluate: the adaptation of content standards, the need for a mandated assessment device in the social studies, the isolationism of Oregon classroom teachers, the limited state and district support and oversight for standards, the need to consider what evidence ascertains that student improvement naturally stems from mandated reforms based on state sponsored curriculum and performance standards.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Music and Race in the American West Author: Schneider, William Steven Year: 2017 This thesis explores the complexities of race relations in the nineteenth century American West. The groups considered here are African Americans, Anglo Americans, Chinese, Mexican Americans, and Native Americans. In recent decades historians of the West have begun to tell the narratives of racial minorities. This study adopts the aims of these scholars through a new lens--music. Ultimately, this thesis argues that historians can use music, both individual songs and broader conceptions about music, to understand the complex and contradictory race relations of the nineteenth century west. Proceeding thematically, the first chapter explores the ways Anglo Americans used music to exert their dominance and defend their superiority over minorities. The second chapter examines the ways racial minorities used music to counter Anglo American dominance and exercise their own agency. The final chapter considers the ways in which music fostered peaceful and cooperative relationships between races. Following each chapter is a short interlude which discusses the musical innovations that occurred when the groups encountered the musical heritage of one another. This study demonstrates that music is an underutilized resource for historical analysis. It helps make comprehensible the complicated relations between races. By demonstrating the relevance of music to the history of race relations, this thesis also suggests that music as a historical subject is ripe for further analysis.
