As homesteaders, hunters, miners and cattle ranchers flooded onto the Plains, they not only came into conflict with the Plains Indians who already lived there, but also with each other. This was a time of robberies, range wars and Indian wars in the wide open spaces of the West. Gradually, the forces of law and order caught up with the lawbreakers, while the US army defeated the Plains Indians.

  • 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.

Tonight we honor all the Men and Women who had a role in the Easter 1916 Rising whether in the planning or active participation.Irish America has always had a very important role in striving for Irish Freedom. I would like to share a quote from George Washington "May the God in Heaven, in His justice and mercy, grant thee more prosperous fortunes and in His own time, cause the sun of Freedom to shed its benign radiance on the Emerald Isle." 1915-1916 was that time. On the death of O'Donovan Rossa on June 29, 1915 Thomas Clarke instructed John Devoy to make arrangements to bring the Fenian back home. I am proud that Ellen Ryan Jolly the National President of the LAAOH served as an Honorary Pallbearer the only woman at the Funeral held in New York. On August 1 at Glasnevin the famous oration of Padraic Pearse was held at the graveside. We choose this week for this presentation because it was midway between these two historic events as well as being the Anniversary week of Constance Markeivicz death on July 15,1927. She was condemned to death in 1916 but as a woman her sentence was changed to prison for life. And so we remember those executed. We remember them in their own words and the remembrances of others.

    SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE INVESTING PETER G. PAN JEAN KADOOKA MARDFIN Researchers Report No. 6, 2001 Legislative Reference Bureau State Capitol Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 Internet: www.state.hi.us/lrb/ This report has been cataloged as follows: Pan, Peter G. + Mardfin, Jean Kadooka Socially responsible investing. Honolulu, HI: Legislative Reference Bureau, December 2001. 1. Investments - Moral and ethical aspects - United States - States - Hawaii. 2. Social responsibility of business - United States - States - Hawaii. KFH421.5.L35 A25 01-6 FOREWORD This study was undertaken in response to Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 13, S.D. 2, adopted during the Regular Session of 2001. The Resolution resolved that the Legislature "encourages the Chief Investment Officer, administrator, and trustees of the State Employees' Retirement System to apply the principles of SRI [socially responsible investing] in their investment practices and decisions, and encourages other investment counselors and money managers to also apply SRI to their investment portfolios." Apart from its endorsement of "the principles of SRI," the Legislature separately requested the Bureau to "conduct research on SRI by examining the laws and practices in other states, and current reports and studies in the field." This study responds to the Legislature's request of the Bureau to shed light on "the principles of SRI," particularly in light of public policy. Ms. Jean Mardfin was responsible for Chapter 3 dealing with the issue of fiduciary standards. Wendell K. Kimura Acting Director December, 2001 iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY "Socially responsible investing" (SRI) is a method of investing that is best known for screening stocks for their social or environmental characteristics, as opposed to their financial performance.

  • Who Were the 'Extremists'?
    Who were the ‘Extremists’? Pierce Beasley (Piaras Béaslaí) (1881-1965) was a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood and the Irish Volunteers. He worked as a freelance journalist, having been sacked from the Evening Telegraph in 1914 due to his separatist activities. He was also the producer of na h-Aisteoirí, a company of Gaelic amateur actors heavily involved in the IRB. During the Rising, he was deputy commanding officer of the 1 st Dublin Battalion under Edward Daly. He went on to become a Sinn Féin MP in 1918, but left politics following independence. Bealsaí is mentioned in 108 of the 251 reports. Thomas Byrne (1877-1962) was a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood and a captain in the Irish Volunteers. A veteran of the Second Boer War, where he had fought in the Irish Brigade with Major John MacBride, he led the Maynooth Volunteers to the GPO during the Easter Rising. Following independence, Byrne was appointed Captain of the Guard at Dáil Éireann by Michael Collins. Byrne is mentioned in 108 of the 251 reports, primarily as a frequent visitor to the shop of Thomas J Clarke. Thomas J Clarke (1858-1916), known as Tom, was a central figure in the leadership of the Irish Republican Brotherhood and helped to found the Irish Volunteers in 1913. A key figure in planning the Rising, he was the first to sign the Proclamation of the Irish Republic and was shot in the first round of executions at Kilmainham Jail on 3 May 1916. Clarke lived at 10 Richmond Avenue, Fairview and owned a tobacconist’s shop at 75a Parnell Street which was a hub of IRB activity in the city.
