This article examines and questions the conventional view of the conference as a challenge to President Lincoln's efficacy as the nation's leader. Rather, the article suggests that Lincoln may have actually welcomed the conference and had his own designs for how it might bolster his political objectives.

  • Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place
    Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place A Historic Resource Study of Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks and the Surrounding Areas By Hal K. Rothman Daniel Holder, Research Associate National Park Service, Southwest Regional Office Series Number Acknowledgments This book would not be possible without the full cooperation of the men and women working for the National Park Service, starting with the superintendents of the two parks, Frank Deckert at Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Larry Henderson at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. One of the true joys of writing about the park system is meeting the professionals who interpret, protect and preserve the nation’s treasures. Just as important are the librarians, archivists and researchers who assisted us at libraries in several states. There are too many to mention individuals, so all we can say is thank you to all those people who guided us through the catalogs, pulled books and documents for us, and filed them back away after we left. One individual who deserves special mention is Jed Howard of Carlsbad, who provided local insight into the area’s national parks. Through his position with the Southeastern New Mexico Historical Society, he supplied many of the photographs in this book. We sincerely appreciate all of his help. And finally, this book is the product of many sacrifices on the part of our families. This book is dedicated to LauraLee and Lucille, who gave us the time to write it, and Talia, Brent, and Megan, who provide the reasons for writing. Hal Rothman Dan Holder September 1998 i Executive Summary Located on the great Permian Uplift, the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns national parks area is rich in prehistory and history.

  • Patrick B. Nolan: "The Waseca County Horse Thief Detective Society."
    THE WASECA COUNTY HORSE THIEF DETECTIVE SOCIETY BY Patrick B. Nolan ___________ FOREWORD BY Douglas A. Hedin Editor, MLHP Vigilantism, by most scholarly accounts, was a phenomenon of the western frontier. Because the legal system could not provide swift and adequate redress for wrongs in western settlements in the mid-nineteenth century, the pioneers took the law into their own hands, captured the law breakers, and quickly administered a form of primitive justice. Dr. Patrick B. Nolan subscribes to some but not all of the “frontier thesis” of vigilantism. He agrees that new settle- ments on the frontier , where the county sheriff was not adequately funded or staffed, were ripe for the rise of vigilantes. In these rural areas, vigilantism was a means of enforcing the criminal law. But, he shrewdly notes, vigilantism persisted in many states long after the frontier passed, something the conventional explanation ignores, and significantly it emerged there as formal organizations with officers, dues-paying members, and governing charters. He draws a sharp distinction between “vigilance committees” ―an oxymoron at first glance ―and mobs: A vigilance committee or regulator movement differs from a mob because of the element of or- ganization and permanence present. A mob may be considered a spontaneous, unorganized, ephemeral 1 crowd or gathering of people, with tumultuous and disorderly activity. A vigilante movement, on the other hand, is characterized by some form of planning and long-range organization. It may not be in existence for more than a few days, but in that time a structure of authority is erected, officers elected, and planned operations under- taken.
