    “Between the Creeks” Gwen Pettit This is a compilation of weekly newspaper columns on local history written by Gwen Pettit during 1986-1992 for the Allen Leader and the Allen American in Allen, Texas. Most of these articles were initially written and published, then run again later with changes and additions made. I compiled these articles from the Allen American on microfilm at the Allen Public Library and from the Allen Leader newspapers provided by Mike Williams. Then, I typed them into the computer and indexed them in 2006-07. Lois Curtis and then Rick Mann, Managing Editor of the Allen American gave permission for them to be reprinted on April 30, 2007, [email protected]. Please, contact me to obtain a free copy on a CD. I have given a copy of this to the Allen Public Library, the Harrington Library in Plano, the McKinney Library, the Allen Independent School District and the Lovejoy School District. Tom Keener of the Allen Heritage Guild has better copies of all these photographs and is currently working on an Allen history book. Keener offices at the Allen Public Library. Gwen was a longtime Allen resident with an avid interest in this area’s history. Some of her sources were: Pioneering in North Texas by Capt. Roy and Helen Hall, The History of Collin County by Stambaugh & Stambaugh, The Brown Papers by George Pearis Brown, The Peters Colony of Texas by Seymour V. Conner, Collin County census & tax records and verbal history from local long-time residents of the county. She does not document all of her sources.

  • 1 638 Homicides Occurring in Buffalo: 1902-1936
    1 638 Homicides Occurring in Buffalo: 1902-1936 Current Chart: 5/28/2013 The following table includes all of the homicides reported by the Buffalo Police from 1902 to 1936. An exact transcription is replicated from the yearly Annual Report Board of Police. These reports were submitted after the year had ended which allowed the police to often include information generated after the arrest. In 1927, there were two additional categories, “officers shot by crooks” and “persons shot by police.” Two of the latter resulted in fatalities. These have been included in the table. Additional information, found from other sources, follows the information supplied by the police. That information is in italics. The homicides are listed in the following manner. Before the date, a number from 1 to 638 has been placed in bold type. The date listed is when the incident that caused the homicide occurred. In a small number of incidents the death occurred on a later date. If more than one homicide occurred during the same incident, each is counted. After some of the numbers, letters appear, capitalized in bold type. If there is nothing in bold after the number, then none of the conditions mentioned below occurred. The following abbreviations have been included: HS-Homicide Suicide: The perpetrator committed suicide after killing one or more people. AS-Attempted Suicide: The perpetrator attempted to commit suicide. LEO-Law Enforcement Officer related: Either an officer was murdered or one or more citizens was killed by the police. E-Executed: The convicted murderer was put to death for the listed murder.

    Toward a Dakota Literary Tradition: Examining Dakota Literature through the Lens of Critical Nationalism by Sarah Raquel Hernandez B.A., University of Colorado at Boulder, 2001 M.A., University of Colorado at Boulder, 2005 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English 2016 This thesis entitled: Toward a Dakota Literary Tradition: Examining Dakota Literature through the Lens of Critical Nationalism written by Sarah Raquel Hernandez has been approved for the Department of English Penelope Kelsey, Committee Chair Cheryl Higashida, Committee Member Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we Find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards Of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. Abstract Hernandez, Sarah Raquel (Ph.D., English) Toward a Dakota Literary Tradition: Examining Dakota Literature through the Lens of Critical Nationalism Thesis Directed by Professor Penelope Kelsey Dakota literature is often regarded as an extinct and thus irrelevant oral storytelling tradition by EuroAmerican, and at times, Dakota people. This dissertation disputes this dominant view and instead argues that the Dakota oral storytelling tradition is not extinct, but rather has been reimagined in a more modern form as print literature. In this dissertation, I reconstruct a genealogy of the Dakota literary tradition that focuses primarily (but not exclusively) upon the literary history of the Santee Dakota from 1836 to present by analyzing archival documents – Dakota orthographies, Dakota mythologies, and personal and professional correspondences – to better understand how this tradition has evolved from an oral to a written form.

RECONCILING MEMORY: LANDSCAPES, COMMEMORATIONS, AND ENDURING CONFLICTS OF THE U.S.-DAKOTA WAR OF 1862 by JULIE HUMANN ANDERSON Under the Direction of Clifford M. Kuhn ABSTRACT The U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 resulted in the deaths of more than 500 Minnesota settlers, the expulsion of the Dakota people from their homeland, and the largest mass execution in U.S. history. For more than a century, white Minnesotans declared themselves innocent victims of Indian brutality and actively remembered this war by erecting monuments, preserving historic landscapes, publishing first-person narratives, and hosting anniversary celebrations. However, as the centennial anniversary approached, new awareness for the sufferings of the Dakota both before and after the war prompted retellings of the traditional story that gave the status of victimhood to the Dakota as well as the white settlers.
