  • CKR Dissertation for Proquest
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY The Awakening: Rhetoric and the Rise of New Women in the New Northwest, 1868-1912 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of Communication Studies By Cindy Koenig Richards EVANSTON, ILLINOIS June 2008 2 © Copyright 2008 by Cindy Koenig Richards All Rights Reserved 3 ABSTRACT The Awakening: Rhetoric and the Rise of New Women in the New Northwest, 1868-1912 Cindy Koenig Richards This study examines rhetorical practices through which disenfranchised women developed tenable political identities and integrated themselves into the public realm in the Pacific Northwest between 1868 and 1912. Through close analysis of rhetorical activities in which thousands of women participated—including club discourse, public commemoration, legal advocacy, petition work, and publication—it illuminates how these activities reconciled femininity and political involvement in an era and place that categorically denied women the right to self-government. Specifically, this dissertation argues that collective rhetorical practices made available rather than merely expressed new identities and skills among women in Oregon and Washington. As they engaged in symbolic action, together, women bridged the divide between their conventional roles in the private realm and leadership in public life, thereby changing themselves and their communities. In addition to expanding interdisciplinary understanding of woman’s rights and suffrage activism in the nineteenth- and twentieth-century United States, this study provides insight into modes of communication that construct public identities, cultivate new ways of thinking and acting politically, and create grounds for public reform. 4 Acknowledgments I am grateful to The Graduate School and the Department of Communication Studies at Northwestern University as well as the Alumnae of Northwestern University for providing the money and time that enabled me to complete this dissertation.

  • 200 Books, 200 Years a Lewis and Clark Expedition Bibliography in Honor of the Bicentennial
    200 Books, 200 Years A Lewis and Clark Expedition Bibliography In Honor of the Bicentennial A joint project of the Washington Lewis and Clark Trail Committee the Washington State Chapter of the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation and the Washington State Library, Office of the Secretary of State August 2008 Over the last six years the Governor-appointed Washington Lewis and Clark Trail Committee, the Washington Chapter of the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation, and the Washington State Library, a division of the Office of the Secretary of State, partnered to produce this bibliography. This is the final bibliography the three partners produced in honor of the Lewis and Clark bicentennial. Previously issued bibliographies in this series are: The Corps 33 issued in January 2005. This bibliography represents the essential core books about the Expedition. Thirty-three members of the Corps of Discovery, the official name for the Lewis and Clark Expedition, made the journey from Fort Mandan to the Pacific and back; thus the title The Corps 33. Titles from The Corps 33 are indicated with an *. 100 Books, 200 Years issued in February 2007. 150 books, 200 Years issued in March 2008. The goal of this partnership was to produce a bibliography of 200 books that encompassed the most significant and influential books published about the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Books about Thomas Jefferson and Native Americans are included; they provide context for fully understanding the significance of the Expedition. As might be expected, the bibliography has a Pacific Northwest emphasis. Because numerous books were published during the 2003-2006 bicentennial, the partners waited until the end of the bicentennial to select the books and issue this final bibliography.

  • Capital Negotiations: Native Diplomats in the American Capital, 1789-1837
    CAPITAL NEGOTIATIONS: NATIVE DIPLOMATS IN THE AMERICAN CAPITAL, 1789-1837 by Stephanie L. Gamble A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland October 2014 © 2014 Stephanie L. Gamble All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT “Capital Negotiations: Native Diplomats in the American Capital, 1789-1837,” examines the culture of diplomacy created by Native delegates and American officials as they negotiated in the seat of federal power. Between 1789 and 1837, more than 170 delegations of Native peoples from more than forty nations arrived in the national capital to engage in diplomacy with the United States government. Deputations ranged in size from a single diplomat to several dozen. The majority of delegations consisted of members of only one nation, though a notable minority was comprised of individuals from multiple nations. With many of these visits overlapping, Indian ambassadors were visible, nearly ever-present figures in the capital’s streets, theatres, hotels, and federal offices, as well as on the roads and waterways leading to and from the capital. Examining speeches, government records, newspapers, guidebooks, and personal letters, this dissertation uncovers the evolving expectations and strategies of Native diplomats as well as federal officials’ attempts to control Native visits. This project demonstrates the myriad ways in which Natives and federal officials performed diplomatic identities not just for one another but also for a wider American public, through extensive newspaper reporting and public displays of Native culture and American progress. Further, it establishes the importance of the American capital as a physical and ideological space for Native leaders and diplomats.

  • Ode to Sacajawea (Sacagawea) by Bert Huffman Click Here for Transcript
    Ode to Sacajawea (Sacagawea) By Bert Huffman Click here for transcript. This poem, by Bert Huffman of Pendleton, was probably written in commemoration of a bronze statue of Sacagawea (Agaideka Shoshones spell it "Sacajawea"; the hard "g" comes from the Hidatsa spelling) and her son Jean Baptiste Charbonneau. The statue, which is now located in Portland’s Washington Park, was created by artist Alice Cooper for the 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition. Sacagawea (Agaideka [Lemhi] Shoshone) was the only woman on the Expedition, and Cooper portrayed her as a guide and a pathbreaker who led the “conquering captains” westward to the Pacific. Huffman writes that she was the first to chart “the trails that led the hosts across yon mountain crests,” and the poem emphasizes her role in bringing to fruition America’s “manifest destiny.” Early and mid-nineteenth century accounts of the Corps of Discovery rarely paid much attention to Sacagawea. That began to change in the 1890s, when interest in the Lewis and Clark Expedition increased because of the upcoming Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition. Also during this period, the role of women in American society was undergoing a change, and Sacagawea was transformed from a little-known Shoshone woman into an American heroine, an “Indian princess,” who led a party of intrepid adventurers to the Pacific Ocean set an example for emancipated women everywhere. Women’s rights advocates such as Susan B. Anthony and Eva Emery Dye (author of the popular novel The Conquest) characterized Sacagawea as a model of an independent woman. Such characterizations tended to distort Sacagawea’s role in the Expedition as well as her own life story—she had been taken as a slave at the age of twelve or thirteen and sold to a man more than twice her age—but the stereotype of Sacagawea as a “good Indian” who eagerly worked on behalf of American expansionism took root in the popular imagination.

  • York of the Corps of Discovery Interpretations of York’S Character and His Role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition
    Darrell M. Millner York of the Corps of Discovery Interpretations of York’s Character and His Role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition n 1803, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark assembled a diverse company to accomplish a task set for them by President Thomas Jefferson and authorized by Congress — to travel from the Missis- sippi Valley to the Pacific Coast, crossing outside the borders of the IUnited States to describe an unfamiliar landscape, to find a viable com- mercial route across the continent, and to establish relations with un- known Native peoples. Joining the two captains and the soldiers they had recruited for the expedition was York, Clark’s black slave. By winter, the Corps of Discovery had been joined by a French Canadian, Toussaint Charbonneau, who would serve as an interpreter, and a young Indian woman called Sacagawea. The western frontier has always been notable for its interracial and intercultural complexity, and the Corps of Discov- ery reflected that reality. The diversity of the Corps, according to histo- rian James P. Ronda, is one of the reasons the expedition has such appeal for modern Americans. “[I]t’s not just a white man’s army,” Ronda writes, “but rather a group of people from many different racial, ethnic, cultural and social backgrounds. This is a crazy quilt that was and is America.” One of the most interesting and useful stories to emerge about the members of the Lewis and Clark expedition is that of York, who partici- pated fully in the journey and contributed in significant ways to its suc- cess.
