Chambers' Published Dissents 143 Book Reviews 147 Articles of Related Interest 157 Memberships, Contributions, & Grants 161 INTRODUCTION Richard Harvey Chambers was, by all accounts, a remarkable man. This issue is devoted to a review of his career as a federal judge. Appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Cir- cuit by President Eisenhower in 1954, Chambers served until his death in 1994 at the age of 87. His judicial career was high- lighted by his seventeen-year service as chief judge from 1959 to 1976; he was the longest-serving chief judge in the history of the Ninth Circuit. During that same period, he served on the Judicial Conference of the United States and for six years on that body's Executive Committee, from 1970 to 1975. By his longevity alone he would have left his mark on the Ninth Cir- cuit. But had he served even less than half of those forty years, he would have left his mark through his unique style, personal- ity, and vision. First proposed by Terry Nafisi, deputy circuit executive for the Ninth Circuit, this issue is intended to provide perspective on Judge Chambers' judicial career and to capture, at least in some small measure, a sense of the man. Ms. Nafisi enlisted the support of Judge Chambers' widow, Eileen Chambers Woodworth, who provided invaluable assistance and support, and assembled an advisory committee composed of Circuit Judge Alfred T. Goodwin, Circuit Judge Cynthia Holcomb Hall, District Judge John S. Rhoades, and the editor. She helped re- cruit authors, supplied them with appropriate documents, and found photographs to illustrate the articles. She deserves our deepest appreciation for making this special issue of Western Legal History possible. The task of sketching a biographical portrait of Richard Chambers fell to Caleb Langston, who was a journalist before becoming a law clerk to Judge Goodwin. He is now an associ- ate in the firm of O'Melveny and Myers. Michael Eric Siegel, a senior education specialist at the Federal Judicial Center, brings his skill in leadership studies to his analysis of Cham- bers' administrative ability and vision. A former law clerk and a former judicial colleague, Circuit Judge Cynthia Holcomb Hall, contributes a personal perspective to these essays in her recollection of the judge's influence on her own legal career. One of Richard Chambers' most significant legacies is the string of historic courthouse buildings he worked to preserve.

    Volume XX, 1980 SODA SPRINGS, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY: SEQUENTIAL LAND USE Stephen T. Glass* Soda Springs, a small San Bernardino County desert oasis, eight miles south of Interstate 15 and Baker, between Barstow and Las Vegas, goes unnoticed by the thousands of travelers that pass daily through the Mohave Desert by car, bus, or train. (Fig. 1) Little rem:ains to indicate Soda Spring's former importance to the region's development. Only faint remnants of the former Mojave Road and the Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad are noticeable to the perspicacious rock climber or air traveler. The historical succession of land uses in Soda Springs has recently been continued by the addition of the Desert Research Center, under the auspices of the California State University and Coliege System. Before European Settlement Soda Spring's strategic location in the eastern Mojave has had a major effect on the commerce and, as importantly, on human survival in the region. Before the advent of European explorers, ancient trade trails led some 283 miles from the Mojave Valley on the Colorado River to the Pacific Coast. The nomadic Mojave Indians maintained a large permanent village north of present day Needles.
