    UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA GRADUATE COLLEGE DISCONTENT ON THE RANGE: UNCOVERING THE ORIGINS OF PUBLIC GRAZING LANDS POLITICS IN THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By MATTHEW ALLEN PEARCE Norman, Oklahoma 2014 DISCONTENT ON THE RANGE: UNCOVERING THE ORIGINS OF PUBLIC GRAZING LANDS POLITICS A DISSERTATION APPROVED FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY BY Dr. Sterling Evans, Chair Dr. Robert Rundstrom Dr. Ben Keppel Dr. Susan Marshall Dr. Warren Metcalf © Copyright by MATTHEW ALLEN PEARCE 2014 All Rights Reserved In Memory of Stuart J. Hilwig ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Rangelands and dissertations have much in common. Both require a significant amount of time to navigate. Both also have their fair share of dangers, whether they take the form of a rattlesnake, a split infinitive, or an ardent defender of a particular range claim. Surviving these hazards demands individuality and companionship. Writing a dissertation can be as lonely as traversing a sagebrush plain, but the process is full of watering holes, colleagues, and close friends that can help one stay on the trail. Traveling across the western range requires money as well as water, and I am grateful to the financial support provided by the Department of History, Graduate College, and Graduate Student Senate at the University of Oklahoma. Grants and fellowships provided by the American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming, the Charles Redd Center for Western Studies at Brigham Young University, the Oklahoma Chapter of the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America, and the Wyoming State Historical Society further sustained this project.

Meyer Wyoming State Treasurer 200 West 24th Street Cheyenne, Wyoming 82002 Dear Joe: It is my pleasure to submit to you, the Governor, and all the members of the Wyoming Legislature the 2009 annual reports of the University of Wyoming as required under: W.S. 21-16-903 – University of Wyoming Endowment Challenge Program W.S. 21-16-1403 – University of Wyoming Athletic Facilities Matching Program W.S. 21-16-1003 – University of Wyoming Academic Facilities Matching Program This is the ninth annual report covering the Endowment Challenge Program, the sixth annual report for the Athletic Facilities Matching Program, and the fourth annual report for the Academic Facilities Matching Program. Without a doubt, the University of Wyoming has experienced and continues to experience extraordinary private support that is, in large part, the result of the unsurpassed confidence that our state elected officials and the Wyoming Legislature have demonstrated in UW with these matching fund programs. I can assure you that they have not only strengthened UW as an institution, but they have directly benefited our students and generated returns for all Wyoming’s citizens. In each section of this report—the Academic Facilities Match, the Athletic Facilities Match, and the Endowment Challenge Program—you will find examples of donor generosity and its impact, as well as detailed financial information. On behalf of the university, I would like to express appreciation for the tremendous generosity of the state and its impact now and in the future on our faculty, staff, and students.
