    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY Volume XLVIII MARCH,1952 Number 1 The Theory of the History of an American Section and the Practice of R. Carlyle Buley Fulmer Mood* From time to time, and never at regular or predictable intervals, there will appear upon American bookstands some work from an historian's pen which by manifesting some spe- cial merit or combination of merits warrants the most careful, extended consideration. Such a work was the late Clarence W. Alvord's The Mississippi Valley in British Politics, and such a work is the one now under review, by Professor Buley, The Old Northwest: Pioneer Period, 1815-1840.l In dealing With works of the kind it is not enough to appraise and estimate them from the point of view of their content alone ; it becomes also necessary to treat them against their proper background in the field of historical scholarship, to show where they tie up with earlier valid trends and movements in American histori- cal writing, where and how they depart from these, and wherein they offer new points of view as well as new data and new techniques of presentation. When the present volumes are treated in such a perspective, it will then be seen that The Old Nodhwest: Pioneer Period is a work of scholarship that com- pels the attention of historians, and deserves their sharpest, most sympathetic scrutiny. The perspective in which Professor Buley's volumes re- quire to be studied is a perspective of almost three quarters of a century in length. If the condition of affairs that obtained about 1880 is taken into consideration, American historical writing appears to have been dominated by the generalist, 'the * F'ulmer Mood is professor of history at the University of Texas, Austin, Texas.

REGULATION IN THE LIVESTOCK TRADE: THE ORIGINS AND OPERATIONS OF THE KANSAS CITY LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE 1886-1921 Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate College ii 1286885 C Y R0 I GP H T by o. James Hazlett May, 1987 PREFACE This dissertation is a business history of the Kansas City Live Stock Exchange, and a study of regulation in the American West. Historians generally understand the economic growth of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the business institutions created during that era, within the perspective of "progressive" history. According to that view, Americans shifted from a public policy of laissez faire economics to one of state regulation around the turn of the century. More recently, historians have questioned the nature of regulation in American society, and this study extends that discussion into the livestock industry of the American West. 1 This dissertation relied heavily upon the minutes of the Kansas City Live Stock Exchange. Other sources were also important, especially the minutes of the Chicago Live Stock Exchange, which made possible a comparison of the two exchanges. Critical to understanding the role of the Exchange but unavailable in Kansas City, financial data was 1Morton Keller, "The Pluralist State: American Economic Regulation in Comparative Perspective, 1900-1930," in Thomas K.

  • Dositheos Notaras, the Patriarch of Jerusalem (1669-1707), Confronts the Challenges of Modernity
    IN SEARCH OF A CONFESSIONAL IDENTITY: DOSITHEOS NOTARAS, THE PATRIARCH OF JERUSALEM (1669-1707), CONFRONTS THE CHALLENGES OF MODERNITY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Christopher George Rene IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Adviser Theofanis G. Stavrou SEPTEMBER 2020 © Christopher G Rene, September 2020 i Acknowledgements Without the steadfast support of my teachers, family and friends this dissertation would not have been possible, and I am pleased to have the opportunity to express my deep debt of gratitude and thank them all. I would like to thank the members of my dissertation committee, who together guided me through to the completion of this dissertation. My adviser Professor Theofanis G. Stavrou provided a resourceful outlet by helping me navigate through administrative channels and stay on course academically. Moreover, he fostered an inviting space for parrhesia with vigorous dialogue and intellectual tenacity on the ideas of identity, modernity, and the role of Patriarch Dositheos. It was in fact Professor Stavrou who many years ago at a Slavic conference broached the idea of an Orthodox Commonwealth that inspired other academics and myself to pursue the topic. Professor Carla Phillips impressed upon me the significance of daily life among the people of Europe during the early modern period (1450-1800). As Professor Phillips’ teaching assistant for a number of years, I witnessed lectures that animated the historical narrative and inspired students to question their own unique sense of historical continuity and discontinuities. Thank you, Professor Phillips, for such a pedagogical example.

  • Raimundo Lida, Filólogo Y Humanista Peregrino*
    Raimundo Lida, filólogo y humanista peregrino* Clara E. Lida y Fernando Lida-García El Colegio de México Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos (INDEC ) n el siglo XIX , sobre todo por la influencia del romanticismo alemán, la filología, junto con la filosofía y la historia, adquirió el prestigio de una ciencia que permitiría conocer los Eorígenes y características culturales de un pueblo o comunidad lingüística y aprehender su espíritu (Volkgeist). Esta disciplina abarcaba una gama tan amplia de temas –desde el estudio de las lenguas y culturas antiguas y modernas, y la historia de sus orígenes, hasta la investiga- ción sobre el folklore y las tradiciones populares–, que el filólogo alemán Georg Curtius (1820- 1885) llegó a afirmar que la filología era a las ciencias humanas lo que la matemática a las ciencias exactas. Esta visión humanística totalizadora se fue circunscribiendo hacia finales del sigloXIX , al reconocer que como disciplina científica se debía sujetar a observaciones y examen sistemáti- cos de los cuales deducir principios y leyes generales. Desde entonces diversos enfoques teó- ricos y epistemológicos desagregaron la filología en disciplinas cada vez más especializadas. España no quedó al margen de este proceso; el desarrollo en ese país de la investigación filo- lógica moderna se debió, sobre todo, a la labor de Ramón Menéndez Pidal (1869-1968), quien sirvió de bisagra entre la tradición romántica alemana, con su búsqueda del Volkgeist en el estudio de los orígenes de la literatura castellana, y las corrientes teóricas y científicas contem- poráneas. Menéndez Pidal –junto con sus colegas y discípulos de la sección de Filología del Centro de Estudios Históricos (CEH ) de Madrid, fundado y dirigido por él en 1910– convirtió al Centro y a su Revista de Filología Española (RFE ), creada en 1914, en dos grandes impulso- res de los estudios filológicos en el mundo hispánico hasta la década de 1930.1 La Argentina recibió esta influencia después de la Primera Guerra Mundial.

  • 36 Kansas History DRUNK DRIVING OR DRY RUN?
    A Christmas Carol, which appears in Done in the Open: Drawings by Frederick Remington (1902), offers a stereotypical image of the ubiquitous western saloon like those frequented by cowboys at the end of the long drive. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 30 (Spring 2007): 36–51 36 Kansas History DRUNK DRIVING OR DRY RUN? Cowboys and Alcohol on the Cattle Trail by Raymond B. Wrabley Jr. he cattle drive is a central fi xture in the popular mythology of the American West. It has been immortalized—and romanticized—in the fi lms, songs, and literature of our popular culture. It embodies some of the enduring elements of the western story—hard (and dan- gerous) work and play; independence; rugged individualism; cour- Tage; confl ict; loyalty; adversity; cowboys; Indians; horse thieves; cattle rustlers; frontier justice; and the vastness, beauty, and unpredictable bounty and harsh- ness of nature. The trail hand, or cowboy, stands at the interstices of myth and history and has been the subject of immense interest for cultural mythmakers and scholars alike. The cowboy of popular culture is many characters—the loner and the loyal friend; the wide-eyed young boy and the wise, experienced boss; the gentleman and the lout. He is especially the life of the cowtown—the drinker, fi ghter, gambler, and womanizer. Raymond B. Wrabley Jr. received his Ph.D. from Arizona State University and is associate professor of political science at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The author would like to thank Sara Herr of Pitt-Johnstown’s Owen Library for her efforts in tracking down hard-to-fi nd sources and Richard Slatta for his helpful comments on a draft of the article.
