WESTERN EXPRE SS -APRIL 1969 Page 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EDITOR'S CORNER We are receiving some fine "Contents of the Letter" material, for which we are grateful. Our members are c onstantly asking for more , so please continue to send them in to us . I t is with much regret that we are losing the regular services of Dave Jarrett as associate editor. His articles and pict ures in "Territorial Times" have been one of the high lights of e very i ssue of Western Express. He stat es that he has run out of material but wi ll continue to give us an article o nce a year for the January issue . Will some one I well versed in the collec ting of territorial covers, volun­ teer to come forth as the next a ssociate editor for "Territoria l Times." The editor will be ever grateful. In the meantim0 , thanks again a re due to Dave for the high s t andard that he set. We dislike having to be constantly reminding our members about changes of ad­ dress . We send Western Express by fourth class mail to keep e xpenses down. When an issue is returned we gua rantPe the returned postage (which i s the same as that sent out) and then send it again if the new address is shown on the re­ turned copy. Fourth class mail cannot be forwarded, even next door, so it costs us triple postage a nd often mon" posta ge to verify the new address , besides de lay getting the issue to yo u. PLEASE notify the editor promptly of a change of address . Another important reminde r is the necP.ssity of getting new me mbers. Some of us older birds cannot go on forever - re place me nts are important for continued exist­ e nce of our Society. Then too, we need ne w ideas - new blood can often furnish it. We understand a group of our members have been holding informal sessions in the Los Angeles area for quite some time . If a nyone is interested in meeting with th e group we suggest they contact our Vice -President, Robert Myerson 1 928 Towne Avenue, Los Ange les , Ca. 90021. Th e y say he sells ca ndy as a side line or will trade it for covers. The re cent Siegel sale of the Clifford collection of principa lly e xpress covers brought over $80,000 gross . Rare and very fine material brought new highs. This certainly forebodes what can be expecte d in the future. If demand for these covers continues to grow in the future as it has in the past, todays prices will seem cheap. This is so because the supply is limited and getting more so while the . number of collectors are constantly increasing . New finds of old material are few a nd far between and are gobbled up quickly. Very fine and rare western cove rs ar~ truly gems of philately.

WESTERN EXPRESS -APRIL 1969 Page 4 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- WAS THERE A POST OFFICE KNOWN AS LAKE BIGLER, CAL? By W. Scott Polland, M.D. Illustrations #I -IV show manuscript post office markings of Lake Bigler, Cal dur­ ing the period 1862 - 1864 . These were apparently accepted as genuine by receiv­ ing post offices of this period . I have seen about ten such covers with this mark. However, as far as I know, there is no official record of such a post office either in Fricks tad's "A Century of California Post Offices" or in Fricks tad and Thrall's "A Century of Nevada Post Offices . " Apparently this post office was never listed in the official records at Washington, D.C. , nor can I find it in the unofficial Business Directorys of this period.

PEARCE ILLUSTRATION #IV - COLLECTION OF ROBERT A HANSON The official map maker of California gave to what is now known as Lake Tahoe, the name Lake Bigler in honor of the third governor of California. In 18611 in an attempt to give this beautiful and charming lake a more appropriate name I William Henry Knight compiled a map of the Pacific States which was published by the Bancroft Publishing House in San Francisco, and in which Lake Bigler had been changed to Lake Tahoe. Knight obtained the approval of the Land Office at Wash­ ington 1 and the new name appeared on their subsequent maps for the Department of Interior. However, the California legislature oblivious to the popular acceptance of the name "Tahoe" legalized "Bigler" in 1870, and the act oddly enough was not repealed until 1943. Hence the confusion of the proper name for this lake in the 1860-1880 period. In order to try and locate the most likely area in which a "Lake Bigler" post office could exist, I have tried to go over the various areas around the lake, historically and geographically.

    COLORADO MAGAZINE Published by the State Historical Society of Colorado

    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published by The State Historical Society of Colorado VO L. VIII Denver, Colorado, May, 1931 No. 3 History of Fort Lewis, Colorado MARY c. AYRES* At the base of the La Plata Mountains, twelve miles west of Durango, was located the military post of Fort Lewis. During frontier days this was an important place not only in military operations a!Ild Indian fights but in the social life of the region as well. Here were stationed not only dashing young graduates of West Point but also many officers who had gained fame on the battlefields of the Civil War. The fort owed its existence to the warfare between the Indians and whites and was abatndoned when the need for protection was no longer felt. The first issue of the La Plata Miner, published in Silverton on Saturday, July 10, 1875, contained an editorial written by the editor, John R. Curry, on the need for the establishment of a mili­ tary post in the Animas valley. Though two years earlier the Utes had signed the Brunot treaty, relinquishing their rights to the San Juan mining region, they still roamed at large through the country, becoming increasingly hostile as the white settlers in­ creased in number and more land was taken up. As the Indians lived largely by hunting they knew of no other way to exist and realized that as more land was occupied by the immense herds of cattle which were being brought in, game would disappear and their food supply be diminished. Their ideal was to preserve their hunting grounds intact while periodically visiting an agency to receive their raLons.

    FT. LYON SUPPORTIVE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY ANNUAL REPORT: JULY 2015–JUNE 2016 Produced by the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless

    FT. LYON SUPPORTIVE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY ANNUAL REPORT: JULY 2015–JUNE 2016 Produced by the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Fort Lyon Supportive Residential Community provides transitional housing and supportive services to homeless and at-risk individuals from across Colorado, with a priority on serving homeless veterans. Situated on 552 acres in the Lower Arkansas Valley, the Fort Lyon initiative is a state-wide collaborative led by the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, Bent County and the Colorado Department of Local Affairs. Under the direction of Governor John Hickenlooper, the former Veterans Administration hospital has been successfully repurposed, recently completing three years of program operation serving nearly 800 of Colorado’s most vulnerable citizens. In Fiscal Year 2016, Fort Lyon served 432 individuals, 88 of those being veterans. Fort Lyon residents represented a large portion of the state of Colorado, with the highest representative populations coming from Denver, El Paso, Jefferson, Arapahoe and Pueblo counties. Most residents arrived on campus with no cash income and multiple health conditions after experiencing homelessness for more than a year. Through person-centered and strengths-based case management, recovery-oriented peer support, direct access to post-secondary education, vocational training, and employment, the Fort Lyon program realized a 91% average monthly retention rate within its safe, trauma-informed environment. Eighty-three percent of residents participated in recovery-based support groups including New Beginnings early drug and alcohol education, Life Ring and Alcohol/Narcotics Anonymous. Through this cross-section of services and opportunities, the average resident stayed engaged in the Fort Lyon program for over 9 months, increasing their odds of obtaining long-term sobriety.1 Among those residents who left Fort Lyon in Fiscal Year 2016, 63% moved on to permanent or transitional housing destinations, with 40% securing permanent housing.

Pratt Dean of the Graduate School Original approval signatures are on file with the University of Oregon Graduate School Degree awarded June 2017 ii © 2017 Keaton J Kell iii THESIS ABSTRACT Keaton J Kell Master of Science Conflict and Dispute Resolution Program June 2017 Title: Massacre on the Plains: A Better Way to Conceptualize Genocide on American Soil This thesis examines the massacres of the Plains Indian Wars in the United States (1851-1890) and how they relate to contemporary theories of genocide. By using the Plains Indian Wars as a case study, a critique can be made of theories which inform predictive models and genocide policy. This thesis analyzes newspaper articles, histories, congressional investigations, presidential speeches, and administrative policies surrounding the four primary massacres perpetrated by the United States during this time. An ideology of racial superiority and fears of insecurity, impurity, and insurgency drove the actions of the white settler-colonialists and their military counterparts.
