    Foreword Missouri Has a History of Diversity in Geography, the Economy, Culture and People

    Foreword Missouri has a history of diversity in geography, the economy, culture and people. The state is well known for its ability to adapt to the changes required to accommodate this diversity. Among the changes that are occurring is the influx of immigrants from around the world. The changing of the colors of Missouri is, once again, providing a set of challenges to respond to. The most notable change in the faces and colors of Missouri in recent years is the increase of Latino and Hispanic peoples in both rural and urban areas. These new Missourians are contributing significantly to the local and state economy as well as to the social progress of the state. Because these new immigrants speak a different language and represent different cultures and values, we need to acknowledge and welcome their contributions and make an extra effort to weave and integrate them into the rich societal tapestry that results from such a change. Sylvia Lazos and Stephen Jeanetta together have studied and documented the current status of Latino and Hispanic people in the state. This critical and most timely research effort identifies the important issues that businesses, social services and community agencies need to consider in developing appropriate public policy issues that should be addressed. I urge you to use the knowledge included in this monograph to help create a Missouri that values each person and affords the equality of opportunity and individual rights that each person deserves. This is the right thing to do.

    Lawrence Tyson Table of Contents Pages 1. Content Essay 2-3 2. Student Activity 4-5 Lawrence Tyson Essential Question: What role did Lawrence Tyson play in World War I? Lawrence Tyson was born in North Carolina on July, 4, 1861. Tyson graduated from West Point in 1883 and served in various western territories while fighting Geronimo. Tyson married Bettie McGhee of Knoxville, TN and took a position as a professor of military science at the University of Tennessee. In 1895, Tyson resigned his position and became an attorney in Knoxville. During the Spanish-American war, Tyson served as colonel of the Sixth Regiment U.S. Volunteer Infantry. Tyson recruited men from Tennessee and Kentucky to serve in Puerto Rico. Tyson was mustered out of service in 1899 with the rank of brigadier general. In 1917, at the age of fifty, Tyson once again volunteered for service in World War I. Tyson was given command of the 59th Brigade of the 13th National Guard Division at Calais. They were the first American troops to enter Belgium in July 1918. In September, the 13th Division was at the Somme and with help from British troops attacked the Hindenburg line of defenses. The Americans managed to move across three trench lines despite a heavy fog. They captured 1500 enemy soldiers. The Nashville Banner claimed that the 59th Brigade, commanded by Tyson, were the first to cross and therefore the first to break the Hindenburg line. The brigade suffered 1,879 casualties. Nine men from the brigade received Medals of Honor and Tyson received the Distinguished Service Medal.

By Thomas Luke Manget Director: Dr. Richard Starnes Sossomon Associate Professor of History History Department Committee Members: Dr. Gael Graham, History Dr. Elizabeth McRae, History June 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to sincerely thank my committee members for their thoughtful feedback and encouragement. Specifically, I would like to thank my director Dr. Richard Starnes, whose consultation and advice were invaluable throughout the entire process of researching and writing. I would also like to thank the entire staff at Hunter Library, especially the Interlibrary Loan Department. Without their diligence in tracking down obscure sources, this thesis would have been impossible to write. Most importantly, I am forever and deeply indebted to my wife, Natalie, for supporting my education and picking up the slack for me in managing our household while I worked on this thesis. In addition, I want to thank my parents, Tom and Debbie Manget, whose sacrifice and commitment, as well as their financial support, made my life and my education possible; my grandmother Orbenia Greer Stewart Burges, who has always been my most devoted supporter; my aunt Carolyn Carlson, whose editing prowess and willingness to take on some of my most rough of drafts during my undergraduate studies has helped me become a better writer; and all the other family and friends who have provided moral support.
