(Colorado Historical Society) DEATH IN THE COLORADO COAL COUNTRY: HOMICIDE AND SOCIAL INSTABILITY IN LAS ANIMAS COUNTY, 1880-1920 CLARE V. McKANNA, JR. T he Trinidad Chronicle-News headline read as follows: "DESPOILER OF HOME RIDDLED WITH 4 CHARGES OF BUCKSHOT."I It was a fairly typical representation of homicide reporting in Colorado's Las Animas County in 1908. In this particular case, Charles M. Moore's wife was about to run off with Abe Cohn. After discovering her intentions, Moore picked up his shotgun, loaded it, waited in the darkness at the Trini- dad train station, and then shot Cohn to death.2 A jury found Moore not guilty. Juries seldom convicted men or women for "protecting" their families. This and similar cases point contemporary scholars to a largely unexplored area of western legal history and lend them- selves to an investigation of homicide in western counties.3 Clare V. McKanna, Jr., lectures on Native American and Latin American history at San Diego State University. He wishes to thank Roger Cunniff, of San Diego State University, and Ralph Vigil, of the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, for their sugges- tions, and extends special appreciation to John Wunder, who guided this project from its inception.

'Patricia Nelson Limerick's The Legacy of Conquest: The Unbroken Past of the American West (New York, 1987) has sparked an ongoing debate about interpreting western history. it should be noted that Limerick barely touches on the topic of violence in her new westem history, except where it involves minorities.

  • Political History of Nevada: Chapter 1
    Political History of Nevada Chapter 1 Politics in Nevada, Circa 2016 37 CHAPTER 1: POLITICS IN NEVADA, CIRCA 2016 Nevada: A Brief Historiography By EMERSON MARCUS in Nevada Politics State Historian, Nevada National Guard Th e Political History of Nevada is the quintessential reference book of Nevada elections and past public servants of this State. Journalists, authors, politicians, and historians have used this offi cial reference for a variety of questions. In 1910, the Nevada Secretary of State’s Offi ce fi rst compiled the data. Th e Offi ce updated the data 30 years later in 1940 “to meet a very defi nite and increasing interest in the political history of Nevada,” and has periodically updated it since. Th is is the fi rst edition following the Silver State’s sesquicentennial, and the State’s yearlong celebration of 150 years of Statehood in 2014. But this brief article will look to examine something other than political data. It’s more about the body of historical work concerning the subject of Nevada’s political history—a brief historiography. A short list of its contributors includes Dan De Quille and Mark Twain; Sam Davis and James Scrugham; Jeanne Wier and Anne Martin; Richard Lillard and Gilman Ostrander; Mary Ellen Glass and Effi e Mona Mack; Russell Elliott and James Hulse; William Rowley and Michael Green. Th eir works standout as essential secondary sources of Nevada history. For instance, Twain’s Roughing It (1872), De Quille’s Big Bonanza (1876) and Eliot Lord’s Comstock Mining & Mines (1883) off er an in-depth and anecdote-rich— whether fact or fi ction—glance into early Nevada and its mining camp way of life.

TilE VIETNAM WAR ON TRIAL: TilE COURT-MARTIAL OF DR. HOWARD B. LEVY ROBERT N. STRASSFELD• This Article examines the history of a Vietnam War-era case: the court-martial of Dr. Howard B. Levy. The U.S. Army court-martialled Dr. Levy for refusing to teach medicine to Green Beret soldiers and for criticizing both the Green Berets and American involvement in Vietnam. Although the Supreme Court eventually upheld Levy's convicti on in Parkerv. Levy, ill decision obscures the political content of Levy's court-martial and its relationshipto the war. At the court-martialLe vy sought to defend himself by showing that his disparaging remarks about the Green Berets, identifying them as "killers of peasants and murderers of women and children," were true and that his refusal to teach medicine to Green Beret soldiers was dictated by medical ethics, given the ways in which the soldiers would misuse their medical knowledge.

    PARADOXES OF CONSULTATION IN NEWE SOGOBIA: POLITICS OF HERITAGE MANAGEMENT ON THE DUCKWATER SHOSHONE RESERVATION AND THE ELY SHOSHONE RESERVATION, NEVADA By RYAN SAMUEL MORINI A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2014 © 2014 Ryan Samuel Morini To the future generations, and the legacy we leave them ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In Ely, Sally Marques told me that her mother described Shoshone ceremonies as always being long, because the elders would have to thank and bless every single thing that made up their world, from the largest to the smallest, leaving nothing out. I have had to force myself to resist the same temptation here. This dissertation was only made possible by the help of a great many people. I will begin by thanking my family: my parents, Ralph and Diane; my sister, Valerie; and the extended grouping of the Morinis, the Schobers, and the Macklins. They have not always understood me, but they have always supported whatever directions I have taken my life. I cannot reasonably recapitulate all of the people who were instrumental in my education before I arrived at UF, but I should name at least a few. If it were not for Craig Norris’s teaching at Exeter High in Reading, PA, I’m not sure where I would have ended up, but it probably would not have been here. I thank him foremost among the several teachers who helped me rediscover some sense of purpose in an education system that I found generally stultifying and disillusioning.

    Tombstone Arizona’s History and Information Journal - September 2014 - Vol. 12 - Issue 09 - ISSN 1942-096X Interesting historical tidbits of news and information from the Town Too Tough to die. Tombstone Epitpah - December 15, 1927 “Oh! Oh! What a Night ‘Twas Says A. H. Gardner, Tombstone, Ariz. That Night Before Christmas “The evening’s entertainment began with a knockout. Johnny Walker – John W. Walker, you understand, then federal court reporter and fresh from Chicago – and I were just about putting the finishing touches to a roast mallard duck supper at the old Kreuder Café on Allen Street when Kreuder met one of his customers at the cashier’s counter and laid him cold with an uppercut that would have at that time done credit to even hard hitting bog Fitzsimmons. There were no frills to the affair. Kreuder just waited until his man came down the aisle, gave one glance at the check he handed to the cashier, and then applied a clenched fist to the point of his customer’s jaw. All was over but the shouting. “The proceedings struck me as not only being odd but as being carried out in a rather cold-blooded, businesslike manner. Being just from New York City, one might think that such an occurrence would have little effect on me. But I had never seen anything in which Kreuder laid low the man which 5 his establishment had just feasted. “Oh, yes! I did forget to tell you why Kreuder took a punch at his customer. It was this way. “I supposed the customer got some peculiar notion that a 50 per cent discount should be made on all T-bone steak dinners which he ate at Kreuder’s for every time a check for 50 cents was handed to him, he erased the ‘0,’ put a ‘2’ in front of the ‘5’ and then put the ‘cents’ mark – ‘c’ – after the ‘25.’ It seemed that the cashier became suspicious, told Kreuder CORNER OF 5TH & ALLEN STREETS about it, and according to the customs of old Tombstone of a quarter-century ago, the customer ‘had it coming to him.’ Forthwith Kreuder was duly bound to see that ‘it’ arrived in true western style.
