    Governor Ralph Carr An Archival Research Handbook to a Colorado Governor's Collection Ivona Elenton Institutionen för ABM Uppsatser inom arkivvetenskap ISSN 1651-6087 Magisterexamensarbete, 15 högskolepoäng, 2010, nr 75 Författare/Author Ivona Elenton. Svensk titel Guvernörens papper – Ralph Carr. En arkivvägledning för ett guvernörsarkiv i Colorado. English Title Governor Ralph Carr. An Archival Research Handbook to a Colorado Governor's Collection. Handledare/Supervisor Reine Rydén. Abstract The governor collections at the Colorado State Archives are a rich source for research and information about social science and the history of the state, but they are not always easy to research due to their differences in taxonomy through different eras. In my work with creating an archival research handbook for a governor collection I chose governor Ralph Carr to both illustrate the challenges as well as the thrills with historical research in a collection from the office of the governor. Ralph Carr's collection takes patience to research. Some series will have inconsistent taxonomy and other series lack sub-series, and if a researcher is not familiar with the terminology of state affairs, many documents can pose a challenge. It is my hope that this handbook will be of use for both amateur researchers as well as provide a few short-cuts for more seasoned scholars. Governor Carr's collection covers some of the most dramatic years in Colorado history, the first part of WWII, and it is frequently requested for research, but many researchers get stuck between the vast amount of documents only sorted by dates, for instance in the series marked "Council of Defense", which contains many interesting documents about the Japanese-Americans who were to be deported to the Granada Relocation camp, or Camp Amache, as it was popularly called.

  • “John Long Routt” by Mary Peterson, Forest Supervisor
    100 YEARS OF CONSERVATION AND PUBLIC SERVICE ON THE ROUTT NATIONAL FOREST “John Long Routt” by Mary Peterson, Forest Supervisor Celebrating the Routt National Forest’s centennial wouldn’t be right without some recognition of the man for whom the Forest was named, John Long Routt. John Long Routt was the last territorial and first state governor of Colorado. He was born in Eddyville, Kentucky on April 25, 1826. Soon after his birth, his family moved to Bloomington, Illinois, where Routt obtained a public school education. Later he became a carpenter and was especially interested in architecture. While living in Illinois, Routt became a town alderman and was elected Sheriff of McLean County. Routt's civil career, however, was interrupted by the Civil War, during which time he began to display some of his remarkable talents for organization and leadership. Routt organized the 94th Illinois Volunteer Regiment, was elected Captain, and served heroically at the battle of Vicksburg and Prairie Grove. Attaining a reputation as a resourceful and valorous individual, Routt was promoted to Colonel by General Ulysses S. Grant. Routt returned to Illinois in 1865 to find himself on the Republican ticket for county treasurer, a post he held successfully for two terms. In 1869 Routt was appointed chief clerk to the second assistant postmaster general, a post he relinquished due to his appointment as a United States Marshal in Illinois. Routt held this office until 1871 when he became the Second Assistant Postmaster General. After ten years and four government positions, President Grant rewarded Routt with the Territorial Governorship of Colorado on March 29, 1875.

  • THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published by the State Historical and Natural History Society of Colorado
    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published by The State Historical and Natural History Society of Colorado VOL. Ill Denver Colorado, August, 1926 NO. 3 The Colorado Constitution By Henry J. Hersey (Formerly Judge of the District Court of Denver) Colorado's admission to the Union is not alone significant because it occurred 100 years after the Declaration of Independ­ ence, but also because the efforts for governmental independence were accompanied by heroic and almost revolutionary (though peaceful) acts. The early settlers and gold seekers of 1858 found themselves in a country which the various explorers had reported as a barren desert and worthless for human habitation ; though nominally a part of the Territory of Kansas, yet it was so remote, because of the slow means of transportation and communication, that it was outside the pale of governmental consideration or interest, and the pioneers were forced by existing conditions to establish some sort of a government, provide courts and make laws for themselves. So on the plains we find them quickly creating the People's Courts by the methods of pure democracies, assemblies of the peo­ ple hurriedly called together and accused persons brought before them and tried before a judge selected from the people, the people themselves acting as a jury ;1 in the mountains a civil, rather than a criminal, court was the need of the hour and the Miners' Court was created, having, however, both civil and criminal jurisdiction. The Miners' Court was also established by the mass meeting meth­ ods used in the ancient, pure democracies, for representative or republican form of government is always a matter of growth and later development.

  • Mining Camps: Myth Vs
    Mining Camps: Myth vs. Reality BY DUANE ALLAN SMITH Hidden in the vastness of the Rocky Mountains survive skeletal remains of what once were live, restless mining camps. People lived, worked, played, and died in some as early as 1859 and in others even later than the turn of the century. Mark Twain, in his delightful book Roughing It, has left a vigorous account of what life was like then. Although the topic of his examination, Virginia City, Nevada, was slightly west of the Rocky Mountains, the description he gave holds true for all camps going through "flush times." Virginia had grown to be the "livest" town, for its age and population, that America had ever produced. The sidewalks swarmed with people.... The streets themselves were just as crowded with quartz wagons, freight teams and other vehicles. The procession was endless .... Joy sat on every countenance, and there was a glad, almost fierce intensity in every eye, that told of the money-getting schemes that were seething in every brain and the high hope that held sway in every heart.1 Money was plentiful, Twain noted, and every individual considered himself potentially a mining nabob. Street fights, wide-open gambling palaces, saloons, theaters, and hurdy-gurdy houses enlivened the scene, and there was even "some talk of building a church." These were people busily engaged in that most popular of all American vocations, making a fortune, but they were also participating in the joy of spending it with relish. Life here had the quality of a frontier adventure alloyed with the gambling excitement of mining.

  • D 020 03 Executive Order
    D 020 03 EXECUTIVE ORDER Delegation of Authority and Release for the Air National Guard Air Defense Unit Pursuant to the authority vested in the Office of the Governor of the State of Colorado, and in particular, Art. IV, Section 5 of the Colorado Constitution, I, Bill Owens, Governor of the State of Colorado, hereby issue this Executive Order concerning the delegation of executive authority to the state Adjutant General for the operations of the Air National Guard Air Defense Unit. 1. Background and Mission The United States Air Force has proposed to utilize a unit of the Colorado Air National Guard for the purpose of executing the federal mission of aerospace warning and aerospace control. (the “ANG Air Defense Unit” or “Unit”.) The Unit will have a 24- hour per day, 7- day per week federal mission in support of national defense against ballistic missile attack. The Unit will provide local employment opportunities and will enhance the Colorado’s significant role in United States space missions. Military units of the Colorado Air National Guard are under the command and control of the Governor of Colorado until and unless federalized, and are available for call-up by the Governor for purposes of State Active Duty. C.R.S. §§ 28-3-104 and 204. The ANG Air Defense Unit will function under the operational control of the federal active duty armed forces, pursuant to 10 U.S.C.S. § 12301(d). For administrative purposes, such as hiring and personnel actions, the Unit members will continue to be governed by the authority of the Colorado Air National Guard and Colorado law.

  • 1 the Honorable John Hickenlooper Governor of Colorado 136 State
    The Honorable John Hickenlooper Governor of Colorado 136 State Capitol Denver, CO 80203-1792 Dear Governor Hickenlooper, On behalf of the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA), I urge you to reject Arch Coal’s proposal that the company be allowed to reduce its coal royalty payments on its West Elk mine. Arch’s request would cost the State of Colorado as much as $12-16 million and it would not stimulate coal production. Arch Coal in effect is asking you to forego state revenues for a financially marginal company in a declining industry with a bleak outlook. IEEFA monitors and comments on federal coal lease and royalty payment policy. Over the past five years or so, we have published reports, submitted testimony, conducted numerous briefings for public officials, and written a host of letters addressing proposals like this one. Our seminal 2012 report on the federal coal lease program, The Great Giveaway, has been cited widely by policy experts and the press. Arch Coal is seeking to reduce its royalty payments on revenues it earns at the West Elk mine. It is asking that the payments be reduced from 8 percent to 5 percent of revenues for a five-year period retroactive to February 2015. Arch justifies its request by saying that it is incurring rising costs at the mine due to the increased complexity of mining coal at West Elk as the property reaches maturity. By our estimate, Arch could conceivably mine approximately 25-30 million tons of coal over the five-year period, causing Colorado to forego as much as $12-$16 million in revenue (the federal government would forego an equal amount).

Duties and Powers A lieutenant governor may derive responsibilities one of four ways: from the Constitution, from the Legislature through statute, from the governor (thru gubernatorial appointment or executive order), thru personal initiative in office, and/or a combination of these. The principal and shared constitutional responsibility of every gubernatorial successor is to be the first official in the line of succession to the governor’s office. Succession to Office of Governor In the election of 1904, Alva Adams was thought to have won, however, Republicans, who still controlled the state legislature, insisted that owing to fraud and corruption the election was stolen from James Hamilton Peabody. On the day that Alva Adams took office on March 17, 1905, the Republican-controlled legislature voted to remove him from office and reinstall Peabody, on the condition that Peabody immediately resign.
