Burtner 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I arrived in the Sonoran Desert through the generosity of many people whom I now acknowledge. First, my birth family, Judy, Les, Matthew, Garrett, and Jesse continually inspire me toward new goals. They all provide motivating examples through their extraordinary lives. They are part of a wider ring of my amazing family who shape my expectations and provide support and love. Second, I want to thank my academic family. Many people helped my along the way. I had a great senior thesis advisor in the late Reese Kelly at Fort Lewis College. The Faculty and students of Northern Arizona College welcomed me back into academia after nearly a decade of knocking about North America. Professors Michael Amundson, Susan Deeds, Cynthia Kosso, Eric Meeks, George Lubick, Scott Reese, and Margaret Morley created a productive and provocative environment that I will always treasure. David Neshiem, Jon Olivera, Beth Moser, and a host of other peers helped make Flagstaff an exciting home and intellectual hotbed. I owe a special debt to Mike Amundson who bravely oversaw a thesis on Alaskan salmon by asking “how would you explain this idea if we were talking about bison?” He also introduced me to Katherine Morrissey who is the real reason I found myself studying the desert in Tucson. Katherine oversaw my introduction to the Sonoran Desert with a National Park Service project on Saguaro National Park. She keeps opening doors and inviting me to succeed and I thank her for all these opportunities and support. She is a great mentor and has been the motor of my PhD program. She shaped much that is good in this document and in my practice of history. I also wish to thank my professors and peers, Kevin Gosner, Doug Weiner, Jeremy Vetter, Roger Nichols, Michael Schaller, Ben Irvin, J. C. Mutchler, Neil Prendergast, Risha Druckman, Sigma Colon, Ian Draves, Amy Grey, Mary Kovel, James Lockhart, Megan Prins, Tyler Ralston, Vikas Rathee, Robbie Scott, Robbin Zenger and many others who wove history and fun into a Tucson life. A special thanks to Gina Wasson and Vicky Parker for all their help and support. Finally, thanks to Barbara Burtner who also dared to move to the Sonoran Desert, re-invent her life, and create our family. 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES……………………………………………………………………….7 ABSTRACT………………………………………………………………………………9 INTRODUCTION: CONSUMING AND PRODUCING SONORAN DESERT NATURE………………………………………………………………………………...10 Historiography…………………………………………………………………...12 Sonoran Desert…………………………………………………………………..24 Description of the Work…………………………………………………………27 CHAPTER 1: METAPHORS OF PLACE UNDER THE CACTUS FLAG……………33 Southern Deserts: American Encounters with the Lower Sonoran……………...33 Overwriting a Region: From Pimeriá Alta to U.S. Southern Desert…………….38 Cacti as Global Commodities……………………………………………………44 Acting out a Geography of American Conquest………………………………...46 Remapping the Known World…………………………………………………...52 Focusing the Imperial Gaze with the Language of Natural Science……………..59 Placing Cacti in their Regional Context………………………………………….63 The Global Vision: Displacing Cacti into Exotic Lands………………………...68 CHAPTER 2: A COLONIAL SENSE OF TIME, SONORAN DESERT ANTIQUITY……………………………………………………72 The Human Metrics of Civilization……………………………………………...73 Histories Brought to Bear on Antiquities………………………………………..75 Human Origins and Historical Musings…………………………………………76 Crafting the Sonoran Desert’s Ethnographic Present…………………………....93 Sonoran Desert Encounters and Colonial Analogies…………………………….96 The Emerging Sonoran Desert Archive………………………………………...104 CHAPTER 3: FRIENDLY AND FAMILIAR NATURE: ESTABLISHING THE CONNECTIONS AND COLLECTIONS OF AN AMERICAN SONORAN DESERT, 1880-1910…………………………………………………………………..109 An American place in the desert……………………………………………….109 Sonoran Desert Nature in National Histories…………………………………..113 Collecting cacti and selling meaning…………………………………………...118 Saturation studies: Federal scientists remap the Sonoran Desert………………122 Local centers for constructing the Region……………………………………...136 The Desert Botanical Lab………………………………………………………143 Translating Nineteenth-Century Paper Deserts into Desert Science…………...145 A homeland through desert research…………………………………………...153 CHAPTER 4: CRAFTING AND CONSUMING THE SONORAN DESERT………155 North American Deserts: The Research Agenda………………………………160 Tumamoc Hill Labscape……………………………………………………….161 Desert Basins…………………………………………………………………...169 Papagueria………………………………………………………………………180 Crafting and Consuming the Sonoran Desert…………………………………..186 From Labscapes to Regional Description………………………………………187 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS – CONTINUED CHAPTER 5: DOMESTICATING SONORAN DESERT NATURE: CONSUMING CACTI AND PLANTING PROXY LANDSCAPES………………....189 Consuming Desert Nature as Identity…………………………………………..189 Sonoran Desert Proxy: Saguaro National Monument…………………………..191 Cactus Gardens: Metaphors of Place…………………………………………...192 The Garden of Papago-Saguaro National Monument-Proxy Landscape……….198 The Gardens of Saguaro National Monument-Proxy Landscapes……………..201 Cactus Forests ………………………………………………………………....208 Ecology and Islands in the Desert Sea…………………………………………213 Mountains as Desert Islands………………………………………………….. 215 Coalitions for Conservation……………………………………………………219 Managing the meaning of cacti…………………………………………………238 An American Sonoran Desert…………………………………………………..246 CONCLUSION: THE WORLD IN MINIATURE: SONORAN DESERT GLOBAL CONNECTIONS……………………………………………………………248 The world rhythm of desert hearts……………………………………………...251 Desert Lab Roots and Global Visions…………………………………………..258 Mapping World Cacti…………………………………………………………..263 Desert agriculture……………………………………………………………….268 The Joseph Wood Krutch Garden and the mysterious wandering boojum trees:A lesson in commemoration and commodification……………...272 APPENDIX A: FIGURES AND MAPS……………………………………………….279 REFERENCES…………………………………………………………………………297 7 LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1: A contemporary vision of the Sonoran Desert.

He was a giant among men, physically and spiritually, believed to have stood at least seven feet in height. A powerful medicine man and chieftain of the Penacook tribe, Passaconeway was elected bashaba (emperor) of a confederation of tribes united to stem an aggressive Mohawk nation. In his twilight years this great man traveled in the Maine-New Hampshire-Massachusetts region where he was revered as the mouthpiece of the Great Spirit by both Native and European folk alike. Tradition stays that Passaconeway was a genius, gifted with magical or divine powers employed in his peacemaking efforts. His true power, however, lay in his ability to kindle the fire of peace and brotherly love in the hearts of all irrespective of race or tribal restrictions.

  • The Disastrous Impacts of Trump's Border Wall on Wildlife
    a Wall in the Wild The Disastrous Impacts of Trump’s Border Wall on Wildlife Noah Greenwald, Brian Segee, Tierra Curry and Curt Bradley Center for Biological Diversity, May 2017 Saving Life on Earth Executive Summary rump’s border wall will be a deathblow to already endangered animals on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. This report examines the impacts of construction of that wall on threatened and endangered species along the entirety of the nearly 2,000 miles of the border between the United States and Mexico. TThe wall and concurrent border-enforcement activities are a serious human-rights disaster, but the wall will also have severe impacts on wildlife and the environment, leading to direct and indirect habitat destruction. A wall will block movement of many wildlife species, precluding genetic exchange, population rescue and movement of species in response to climate change. This may very well lead to the extinction of the jaguar, ocelot, cactus ferruginous pygmy owl and other species in the United States. To assess the impacts of the wall on imperiled species, we identified all species protected as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act, or under consideration for such protection by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (“candidates”), that have ranges near or crossing the border. We also determined whether any of these species have designated “critical habitat” on the border in the United States. Finally, we reviewed available literature on the impacts of the existing border wall. We found that the border wall will have disastrous impacts on our most vulnerable wildlife, including: 93 threatened, endangered and candidate species would potentially be affected by construction of a wall and related infrastructure spanning the entirety of the border, including jaguars, Mexican gray wolves and Quino checkerspot butterflies.

  • Wild Cats of the Sky Islands: a Summary of Monitoring Efforts Using Noninvasive Techniques
    Wild Cats of the Sky Islands: A Summary of Monitoring Efforts Using Noninvasive Techniques Lisa Haynes, Zoe Hackl, and Melanie Culver School of Renewable Natural Resources, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ Abstract—A variety of efforts are taking place to detect, inventory, and monitor the wild felids (pumas, bobcats, jaguars, and ocelots) of the Madrean Archipelago. Researchers are using a suite of noninvasive methods, including infrared-triggered photography, DNA analysis of scat and hair (collected from “hair snares”), and old-fashioned tracking and sign searches. These efforts are being conducted by a variety of academic, government, and non-governmental organizations in the United States and Mexico. We briefly outline the various projects including their results to date, discuss threats to native felids in the region, and provide recommendations for further research, monitoring, and conservation. wildlife—all contributed to a recent flurry of activity to gather Introduction information on the wild cats of the Madrean Archipelago.

  • Encephalartos Woodii ELSA POOLEY Writes About the Mysterious Enigma Wood’S Cycad, a Plant That Is Extinct in the Wild
    Encephalartos woodii ELSA POOLEY writes about the mysterious enigma Wood’s cycad, a plant that is extinct in the wild. Wood’s cycad is one of the most magnificent and rare plants of this family of ancient plants. It has been extinct in the wild for nearly a century. Only one four-stemmed male plant was ever found. It was first collected by John Medley Wood, director of the Natal Government Herbarium and leading Natal botanist. He was on a botanical expedition in Zululand in 1895, and found it when exploring Ngoye Forest (now spelt Ongoye). In 1903 several suckers Encephalartos woodii growing in Durban Botanic Gardens. photograph © Richard Boon 60 INTERNATIONAL DENDROLOGY SOCIETY TREES were collected for the Durban Botanic Gardens and for the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew and a private nurseryman in the south of England. (It was described in the Gardeners’ Chronicle in 1908.) In 1907 John Wylie, an assistant to Medley Wood and curator of the Durban Botanic Gardens, collected two of the large trunks and planted them in the Durban Botanic Garden. In 1916 the last surviving stem was removed and was planted in Pretoria. All efforts to locate more plants – and female plants – in the original location have failed. However, hundreds of offshoots have been grown and distributed around the world, so the plant is known outside of South Africa. This is a distinctive species. The original plants stand about 6m tall, with a stately, erect stem which is broad and buttressed at the base. This buttressed stem, and the spreading canopy of arching leaves, even in juvenile plants, distinguishes the species.

A grandson of the gallant Truxtun, Beale was bom in the Navy and his early life was passed at sea. However, he fought with the army at San Pasqual and when night fell upon that indecisive battlefield, with Kit Carson and an anonymous Indian, by a daring journey through a hostile country, he brought to Commodore Stockton in San Diego, the news of General Kearny's desperate situation. Beale brought the first gold East, and was truly, in those stirring days, what his friend and fellow- traveller Bayard Taylor called him, "a pioneer in the path of empire." Resigning from the Navy, Beale explored the desert trails and the moimtain passes which led overland to the Pacific, and later he surveyed the routes and built the wagon roads over which the mighty migration passed to people the new world beyond the Rockies.
