This study was designed to meet requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. Per the findings of the National Marine Fisheries Service (2008), the Sonoma County Water Agency is seeking to improve Coho salmon and steelhead habitat in the Russian River and Dry Creek by modifying the minimum instream flow requirements specified by the State Water Resources Control Board's 1986 Decision 1610. The current study includes a ⅛ mile buffer around Lake Mendocino, Lake Sonoma, the Russian River from Coyote Valley Dam to the Pacific Ocean, and Dry Creek from Warm Springs Dam to the Russian River. The study included archival research at the Northwest Information Center, Sonoma State University (NWIC File No. 15-1481); archival research at the Museum of Paleontology, University of California, Berkeley; examination of the library and files of Tom Origer & Associates; and contact with the Native American community. Documentation pertaining to this study is on file at the offices of Tom Origer & Associates (File No.

    Salmon Creek Estuary: Study Results and Enhancement Recommendations Appendices Appendix A: Salmon Creek Oral History Project Appendix B: Water Quality Figures Salmon Creek Estuary: Study Results and Enhancement Recommendations – Appendices June 2006 Appendix A: Salmon Creek History and Oral History Summary (Prepared by Kathleen Harrison) I. The Original Human Residents of Salmon Creek Watershed The human history of the Salmon Creek watershed must, of course, reach back to the original, indigenous people who were here long before the current era. It is established that Native Americans have been moving through and settling in California for at the very least 12,000 years. Archeological signs of ongoing habitation here in Salmon Creek watershed extend back at least 8,000 years. We know that the natives of this region were adept hunters, gatherers and managers of natural resources. The people of this region of North America did not practice agriculture, but they tended naturally existing populations of plants, trees, and terrestrial and aquatic animal life. Their goals for successful management were to maximize production of the foods and materials useful to humans, maintain a healthy balance in diverse communities of flora and fauna, support the natural cycles and longevity of wild populations, and to honor the many forces that they recognized in nature. They did this with various documented methods of land management. Annual or periodic late-season burning effectively removed brush without killing established trees, prevented the accumulation of detritus that encourages bacterial, viral and fungal diseases in trees, and fertilized the soil with ash, encouraging growth and production of seeds and acorns.
  • Land Records in the Tennessee State Library and Archives

    Land Records in the Tennessee State Library and Archives

    LAND RECORDS IN THE TENNESSEE STATE LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES Tennessee State Library & Archives Nashville Tennessee Copies of Tennessee’s early land records are on file in the Archives Section. These records include the early grants issued by North Carolina in addition to those granted by Tennessee Extensive holdings of land warrants and certificates of survey are also included in the land records in the Archives. Only a small percentage of the land granted in Tennessee was free land, and this was given to individuals who had performed some service to North Carolina. Included in this group were veterans of the North Carolina Continental Line, and their heirs and assignees; the commissioners, guards, surveyors, and chain carriers who laid off the Military Reservation for soldiers’ grants; and the Cumberland settlers. The word “grant” is used to denote not necessarily free land, but the first private ownership of the land. This leaflet deals with the background of the Watauga and Cumberland Settlement grants, the Revolutionary War grants, and the warrants on which these grants were based. It gives also a brief history of Tennessee’s struggle for total independence from the mother state, and outlines the procedures for granting land in the several divisions of the state. Finally, it describes the master card index to land records which is used by researchers and by members of the Archives staff. It is intended to help answer some of the frequent questions on the history of land granting in Tennessee. Watauga Settlement In 1769 the first permanent white settlement in Tennessee was established on the Watauga River in the present Carter County.

This thesis studies the rise of violence in SLO, its causation, and effects. The vigilance committee of 1858 represents the culmination of the violence that came from sweeping changes in the region, stemming from its earliest conquest by the Spanish. The mounting violence built upon itself as extensive changes took place. These changes include the conquest of California, from the Spanish mission period, Mexican and Alvarado revolutions, Mexican-American War, and the Gold Rush. The history of the county is explored until 1863 to garner an understanding of the borderlands violence therein. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Page CHAPTER INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………... 1 PART I - CAUSATION…………………………………………………… 12 HISTORIOGRAPHY……………………………………………........ 12 BEFORE CONQUEST………………………………………..…….. 21 WAR……………………………………………………………..……. 36 GOLD RUSH……………………………………………………..….. 42 LACK OF LAW…………………………………………………….…. 45 RACIAL DISTRUST………………………………………………..... 50 OUTSIDE INFLUENCE………………………………………………58 LOCAL CRIME………………………………………………………..67 CONCLUSION……………………………………………………….

HOWARD The land grant records of the British colony of West Florida comprise a fairly complete census of the population of the colony in the early years. 1 Land was granted by the king-in-council and the governor and council. Grants by the former were presented to the latter for execution in a mandamus. The governor and council in West Florida usually set aside certain days in each month for consideration of petitions for grants of land, so the land grant records of the colony comprise a part of the minutes of the council. The proclamation of 1763 forbade settlement west of the watershed of the Appalachian moun- tains until the plan for the gradual extinction of the Indian title by purchase could be put into operation.
