  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Interview with Dennis G. Payne Author: Chimuku, Jasse Year: 2010 Interview with Dennis Payne by Jasse Chimuku on February 23, 2010, in Portland, Oregon. Dennis discusses his time at Portland State University almost entirely. He gives a detailed description of his family genealogy, including the migration through Montana of his father and mother. The story of his grandparents living in Wyoming and ultimately in Harding, Montana is rich with detail of Black family life in the area during the early twentieth century. The bulk of the interview highlights the struggle of Black students while he attended college. The Black Power movement on a nationwide basis was in full swing at the time and Payne details the formation and politics of the PSU Black Student Union. He also gives a detailed description of the negotiations on campus to form a Black Studies program. He describes this process including names of key players as well as the BSU demanding the right to review the proposed programs. The interview ends abruptly at this point, and no follow up questions were asked. Title: Interview with Dennis G.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: John Humphrey Noyes, 1811-1840 : a social biography Author: DuBay, Susan Adams Year: 1989 John Humphrey Noyes was the founder of the Oneida Community, one of the most successful utopian ventures in nineteenth-century America. Early in his life, Noyes was a deep religious thinker, but he founded Oneida as an ideal society based on extending the family unit, and not as a church. Noyes's social theories eventually overwhelmed his former religious concentration. The purpose of this thesis is to locate in Noyes's religiously-oriented youth the sources of his social interests. Few scholars have studied in depth the childhood and young manhood of John Humphrey Noyes, but that is where the roots of his social theories are to be found. Noyes did write his religious autobiography, but completely passed over his formative years. Further, he never wrote the analysis of his social ideas and experiences that he had once promised. However, many of his early letters and journals have been compiled and edited by his relatives; and his immediate family left reminiscences of his youth. These works provide most of the available information on the childhood of Noyes. Large gaps in his history do exist, however. Therefore, the modern psychological theories of Erik Erikson are used to illuminate the otherwise shadowy areas of Noyes's early life.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Charles A. Broadwater and the main chance in Montana Author: Lang, William L. Year: 1989 Charles A. Broadwater (1840-92), a Montana pioneer, exemplified many of the characteristics embodied in the myth of the self-made man. With no trade or special skills Broadwater migrated to the Deer Lodge Valley in 1862. He traded horses, homes, and cattle. As the gold boom spread, he entered the freighting business and soon became immersed in the commercial and political life of the territory. He married into a leading Helena family and, through connections with such eastern capitalists as James J. Hill, built a business empire. He did not seek elective office, but he was a power in the territorial Democratic Party. Title: Charles A. Broadwater and the main chance in Montana Author: Lang, William L. Year: 1989 Charles A.
