Having undertaken original research into mid-19th century photographs in archives internationally, pertaining to Native America in the American Southwest, new histories and a re- framing of the photographs in question has been assembled. This portion of the research was undertaken both as a starting point for further investigation, and as a return to the people of New Mexico, particularly the Indigenous inhabitants of that place.

    IN THE SUPREME COURT OF CALIFORNIA THE PEOPLE Plaintiff and Respondent, v. RYAN JAMES HOYT, Defendant and Appellant. S113653 Santa Barbara County Superior Court 1014465 __________________________________________________________ January 30, 2020 Justice Kruger authored the opinion of the Court, in which Chief Justice Cantil-Sakauye and Justices Chin, Corrigan, Liu, Cuéllar, and Groban concurred. ___________________________________________________________ . PEOPLE v. HOYT S113653 Opinion of the Court by Kruger, J. Defendant Ryan James Hoyt was convicted of the kidnap and murder of Nicholas Markowitz and sentenced to death. We affirm the judgment. I. BACKGROUND On October 30, 2000, defendant was charged by grand jury indictment with kidnapping 15-year-old Nicholas Markowitz (who was known as Nick) for ransom or extortion and for murdering him, as well as a personal firearm use enhancement. (Pen. Code, §§ 187, subd. (a), 190.2, subd. (a)(17)(B), 209, subd. (a).) Codefendants Jesse James Hollywood, Jesse Rugge, Graham Pressley, and William Skidmore were charged with the same crimes, but the cases were severed and defendant stood trial first. A jury convicted defendant of one count of first degree murder in violation of Penal Code section 187 and one count of kidnapping committed with the personal use of a firearm in violation of Penal Code sections 207 and 12022.5, respectively. The jury also found true the special circumstance allegation that the murder was committed during the course of a kidnapping under Penal Code section 190.2, subdivision (a)(17)(B). The jury returned a verdict of death. This appeal is automatic. (Id., § 1239, subd. (b).) PEOPLE v. HOYT Opinion of the Court by Kruger, J.

  • Settlement of the West
    Settlement of the West The Western Career of Wild Bill Hickok James Butler Hickok was born in Troy Grove, Illinois on 27 May 1837, the fourth of six children born to William and Polly Butler Hickok. Like his father, Wild Bill was a supporter of abolition. He often helped his father in the risky business of running their "station" on the Underground Railroad. He learned his shooting skills protecting the farm with his father from slave catchers. Hickok was a good shot from a very young age, especially an outstanding marksman with a pistol. He went west in 1857, first trying his hand at farming in Kansas. The next year he was elected constable. In 1859, he got a job with the Pony Express Company. Later that year he was badly mauled by a bear. On 12 July 1861, still convalescing from his injuries at an express station in Nebraska, he got into a disagreement with Dave McCanles over business and a shared woman, Sarah Shull. McCanles "called out" Wild Bill from the Station House. Wild Bill emerged onto the street, immediately drew one of his .36 caliber revolvers, and at a 75 yard distance, fired a single shot into McCanlesʼ chest, killing him instantly. Hickok was tried for the killing but judged to have acted in self-defense. The McCanles incident propelled Hickock to fame as a gunslinger. By the time he was a scout for the Union Army during the Civil War, his reputation with a gun was already well known. Sometime during his Army days, he backed down a lynch mob, and a woman shouted, "Good for you, Wild Bill!" It was a name which has stuck for all eternity.

Hirschman (Corresponding Author) Hill Richmond Professor of Business Department of Business and Economics University of Virginia-Wise E-mail: [email protected] James A. Vance Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science Department of Mathematics and Computer Science University of Virginia-Wise The post-Civil War decade in the South and West was a time of lawlessness. The economy was in shambles and many former Confederate soldiers were without work and angry over the loss of the war. Some became bandits and engaged in violent attacks against existing businesses and property. Perhaps the most notorious of these were Jesse and Frank James and the Younger Gang. Others were family-based clans who engaged in feuds with those living nearby. The most famous of these were the Hatfields of West Virginia. Using genealogical DNA methods, this research examines the ancestry of the James brothers, the Youngers and the Hatfield clan and shows they were likely Jewish. This finding sheds a new light on the Post-War landscape. Keywords: Genealogical DNA, Jewish Outlaws, Jesse James, Frank James, Younger Gang, Hatfield Clan INTRODUCTION The post-Civil War decades were a time of lawlessness. The economy across the former Confederate states from Virginia to Texas was in shambles and many former Confederate soldiers were without work.
