Santa Barabara Botanic Garden Papers the Santa Barbara Botanic Santa Barbara Botanic Garden GARDEN Papers Santa Barbara Botanic Garden Papers Record number: 1926-1 Extent: 20+ linear ft. Restrictions for use: some restrictions apply. Please consult librarian for permission to use. Copyright status: Material is owned by the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and is copyrighted. Historical Note The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden was founded in 1926 as an educational and scientific display garden of California native plants, open to the public. Until 1939 when the Garden incorporated, it was known as the Blaksley Botanic Garden, and a group of trustees from the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History oversaw its growth and development. Scope and Content Note The activities of the Garden from 1926 to 1975 are represented in this collection. They cover the directorships of plant ecologist Frederic Clements, who was sent by the Carnegie Institution to Santa Barbara to locate land for a botanic garden, the first ten years of creation and growth under Elmer and Ervanna Bissell’s direction; the development of horticultural research and public education under Maunsell Van Rensselaer’s fifteen years as Director; and the expansion of the research program under Director Katherine Muller from 1950-1973. The bulk of the collection is made up of correspondence with many botanists and horticulturists from around the country. The Garden has taken a leading role in growing a wide variety of native plants from many parts of the state, and much of the experiences of seed collecting, germination, and propagation is found in this correspon- dence. Also included are research files and drafts for books and articles published by Garden staff. Most extensive are files for the various editions of The Trees of Santa Barbara and Ceanothus. Future papers to be added to this collection, as they are processed, are those of Dara Emery, Plant Propagator and Breeder, 1955-1992; Ralph Philbrick, Director 1973-1987; and Clifton Smith, Herbarium Botanist, 1985- 1999.

  • The Marriage of Elizabeth Cady and Henry Brewster Stanton and the Devel
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles A Family Affair: The Marriage of Elizabeth Cady and Henry Brewster Stanton and the Development of Reform Politics A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Linda Christine Frank 2012 © Copyright by Linda Christine Frank 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Family Affair: The Marriage of Elizabeth Cady and Henry Brewster Stanton and the Development of Reform Politics by Linda Christine Frank Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Ellen C. DuBois, Chair Although devoted to insuring universal freedom and human rights for more than 60 years, Henry B. Stanton’s historical legacy and his many contributions to antebellum reform have been obscured and even vilified in the shadows of his famous wife, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and his oftentimes tactical opponent within abolition circles, William Lloyd Garrison. Frequently portrayed as the antagonist in his wife’s struggle for women’s rights, as a husband and a father Henry Stanton has become synonymous in the historical discourse with the very oppression his wife devoted her life to ending. Because of this, Elizabeth’s reformism is frequently depicted as having emerged from an imagined unhappy domestic life, rather than from an awareness of social and political inequalities. Elizabeth’s feminism is thus all too frequently explicitly or implicitly viewed as first a private and then a public rebellion. ii Through extensive primary source research, this dissertation seeks to redefine the pivotal moments in the Cady-Stanton marriage to better understand the many reasons, causes, and inspirations that led to Elizabeth Stanton’s leadership of the Seneca Falls Convention in particular and the woman suffrage movement in general.

Unger, Co-editors FLORA OF NORTH AMERICA NEWS The Flora of North America office has moved from the basement of the Administration Building—our home for about nine years—to the first floor of the new Monsanto Center at the Missouri Botanical Garden. We have graduated from frosted basement windows, where we could only tell if it was cloudy or sunny, to a south-facing wall of nothing but windows, with blinds to keep out too much sunlight. Come visit us in our new home. All of our phone numbers and our fax number have remained the same. The P.O. Box number is the same (299) as well as the zip code of 63166-0299, but our street address for package deliveries is 4500 Shaw Blvd. with a zip code of 63110. * * * * * Dr. Gerald Bane Straley (1945-1997) On 11 December 1997, we lost a friend and colleague, Gerald B. Straley, following a long and courageous battle. His continual optimism during his illness was an inspiration to all who knew him. Gerald was a Regional Coordinator, member of the Editorial Committee, and author for the FNA project. Gerald grew up on the family farm in Virginia and this undoubtedly initiated his great interest in nature. He completed his B.Sc. degree in Ornamental Horticulture at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and then went to Ohio University to study for his M.Sc. in Botany. In 1976, he came to do his Ph.D. on Arnica at the University of British Columbia under the guidance of Dr.
