They are all based ui)Ou the "Proot Sheets of a Bibliography of the Xorth Amer- ican Languages," by the same author, printed in 1885, in an edition of 110 ('oi)ies. Titles and collations of these works will be found on a j)revious page. The next in order of i)ublication are to be the Chinookan (including the Chinook Jargon), the Salishan. and the Wakashan, all of which are well under way. Tlie name adopted by the Bureau of Ethnology for this family of languages (Athapascan) is that used by Gallatin in the American An- tiquarian Society's Transactions, vol. ii, 18:3<>. It has been objected to by a number of missionaries—students of various dialects of this family in the iSTorthwest—but priority demanded that Gallatin's name should be retained. It is derived from the lake of the same name, which, ac- cording to Father Lacond)e, signifies "place of hay and reeds." The following account of the distribution of the Athapascan people is taken from Powell's "Indian Linguistic Families," in the Seventh Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology: The bomidaries of tlie Atbapascnn family, as now nnderstood, are best given under three primary groups: Nortbern, Pacific, and Southern. yorthern group. —This includes all the Athapascan tribes of British North America and Alaska. In the former region the Athapascans occupy most of the western interior, being bounded on the north by the Arctic Eskimo, who inhabit a narrow strip of coast; on the east by the Eskimo of Hudson's Bay as far south as Churchill Eiver, south of wbich river tbe country is occupied by Algonijuian tribes. On the south the Athapascan tribes extended to the main ridge between tbe Athapasca and Snskatchewan rivers, where they in«'t Algonquian tribes; west of this area they were bounded on the south by Salishan tribes, the limits of whose territory on Era- ser Eiver and its tributaries appear im Tohnie and Dawson's map of 18S4. On the west, in British Columbia, the Athapascan tribes nowhere reach the coast, being cut olf by the Wakashan, .Salishan, and Chimmesyan families. The interior of Alaska is chiefly occupied by tribes of this family. Eskimo tribes have encroached somewhat upon the interior along the Yukon, Kuskokwim, Kowak, and Noatak rivers, reaching on the Yukon to somewhat below Shageluk Island and on the Kuskokwim nearly or quite to Kolmakoflf Redoubt. Upon tbe two latter they reach quite to their heads. A few Kutchin tribes are (or have ))een) north of the Porcupine and Yukon rivers, but until recently it has not been known that they extended north beyond the Yukon and Romanzotf mountains. Explorations of VI PREFACE. Lieut. Stoney, in 1885, establish the fat-t that the region to the north of those luoun- taius is occupied by Athapascan tribes, and the map is colored accordingly. Only in two places in Alaska do the Athapascan tribes reach the coast : the K'uaia-kho- tana, ou Cook's Inlet, and the Ahtheua, of Cooper River. Pacific group. —Unlike the tril)es of the Northern group, most of those of the Pacific group have removed from their priscan habitats since the advent of the white race. The Pacific group embraces the following : Kwalhioqua, formerly on Willopah River, Washington, near the lower Chinook; Owilapsh, formerly between Shoahvater Bay and the heads of the Chehalis River, Washington, the territory of these two tribes being practically continuous; Tlatscauai, formerly ou a sm ill stream on tht; north- west side of Wapato;) Island, (xibbs was informed by an old Indian that this tribe "formerly owned the prairies on theTsilialis at the mouth of the .Skuknmchnck, but, ou the failure of game, left the country, crossed the Columbia River, and occupied the mountains to the south," a statement of too uncertain character to be depended upon; the Athapascan tribes now on the Graude Ronde and Siletz Reservations, Oregon, whose villages on and near the coast extended from Coquille River south- ward to the California line, including, among otiiers, the Upper Coiiuille, Sixes, Euchre, Creek, Joshua, Tutu tfiune, ami other "Rogue River" or "Tou-touten bands," Chasta Costa, Galice Creek, Naltuune tiinne, and Chetco villages; the Atha- pascan villages formerly on .Smith River and tributaries, California; those villages extending southward from Smith River along the California coast to the mouth of Klamath River ; the Hupa villages or "clans" formerly on Lower Trinity River, California; the Kenesti or Wailakki (2), located as follows: "They live aloug the western slope of the Shasta Mountains, from North Eel River, above Round Valley, to Hay Fork; along Eel aiiil Mad rivers, extending down the latter about to Low Gap; also on Dobbins and Lirrabie creeks;" and Saiaz, who "formerly occupied the tongue of land jutting down between Eel River and Van Dusen's Fork."

This historic context was developed to provide the beginnings of an analytical framework by identifying important historic themes of the neighborhood within time and space. By understanding what geographical, temporal, and historical aspects shaped the physical environment of La Plaza Vieja, we can begin to identify the essential elements critical to the historic integrity of the neighborhood. Using the Areas of Significance established by the National Register, four themes (or areas) of historic significance were identified for La Plaza Vieja: Community Planning and Development, Industry, Ethnic Heritage, and Architecture. This historic context further defined important property types associated with these important historic themes. A property type is the link by which the history of the neighborhood is connected to its built environment. An identified property types was considered important if it correlated with the relevant historic themes present through the development of La Plaza Vieja. Additionally, this study utilized existing literature to aid in determining the historic character-defining elements those property types must possess to be considered significant representations of type and context (including geographical and temporal context).

Traders, "mountain men" fur trappers, civilian settlers with commercial and agricultural interests, and the United States Army left individual arid collective imprints upon Mexico's northern provinces, in a vast area American citizens gener­ ously described as "the Southwest." Some of these cultural and physi­ cal imprints would be of short duration, leaving minimal residue; oth­ ers would be more permanent and more disruptive, leaving, in some cases, more lasting scars.

    A QUESTION OF TREASON? CONFEDERATE GENERALS AND U.S. ARMY POST NAMES By Michael A. Hill A THESIS Submitted to Adams State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of M.A. in United States History April 2013 i ABSTRACT A QUESTION OF TREASON: CONFEDERATE GENERALS AND U.S. ARMY POST NAMES By Michael A. Hill This thesis explores the process by which present-day U.S. Army posts came to be named for Confederate officers of the Civil War through an examination of U.S. Army regulations dictating how and for whom installations are to be named as well as surveying the history of each of the current posts named for a Confederate officer. By searching Army regulations, published histories, and newspaper articles the attitudes of local communities and military leaders are ascertained so as to better understand how men who rebelled against the United States are now honored by the Army through one of the most selective means available. This thesis concludes that while financial concerns played an immediate role in the introduction of Army posts to Southern communities, the spread of Lost Cause mythology and its acceptance by U.S. military leaders, especially after the Spanish-American War, created an atmosphere that encouraged the Army to honor those who had been viewed as traitors only one generation prior. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS As with any project, this one was completed with more than a little help from many important people. I would like to thank the faculty of the Department of History, Government, and Philosophy at Adams State University.

Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 50 p. Abstract—The purpose of this study was to compare current woodland density and distribution in and around the dry upper Verde River watershed in northwestern Arizona with conditions prior to Anglo settlement. Historic conditions were assessed using early photographs and early diaries and reports. The expedition led by Amiel Weeks Whipple was retraced and areas de- scribed in 1854 compared with the present. Diaries and reports of members of the Sitgreaves (1851) and Ives (1858) expeditions, Francis Aubry (1857), Edward Beale, John Marion (1870), and Edgar Mearns were also used to assess presettlement woodland conditions. Photographs from 1867, 1871, 1910, and 1917 were repeated between 1995 and 1999. Based upon these early sources, I hypothesize that the aerial distribution of woodlands have not changed greatly since 1851, although densities within many stands have increased. I conclude that at least three dense stands of woodland of unknown extent existed in the study area as early as 1851. Key words: Vegetation history, woodlands, juniper, Topographical Engineers, Army Explorations, Verde River watershed, Arizona, Whipple, Sitgreaves, Ives, Mearns The Author Harley Shaw is a retired wildlife research biologist.

MATHIAS Department of Biology, University of California Los Angeles, California 90024-1606 ABSTRACT Information on plant collectors in southern California is scattered through a number of publications, some of them obscure or not well known to botanists. This paper gives a selective account of major collectors from 1793 to 1930. The appendix lists the plant collectors with references to biographical material concerning each. It is hoped that this preliminary account will stimulate further historical studies. Key words: southern California, botany, plant, collectors, collections, exploration. To appreciate the history of botanical collections in southern California one has to understand the geographical setting, isolated from the north by the Trans­ verse Ranges and from the east and south by deserts, with the only ready access by sea. Before the mid-19th century it was often bypassed since the more usual pattern by sea was for ships to go from Acapulco to Hawaii and then to the northwest coast.
