The product that follows represents the tireless, collaborative labor of several students, faculty, and staff members. Measuring their contributions is surely a Sisyphean task, and one can only hope that acknowledging them will suffice. Firstly, I would like to thank the rest of the editorial board, Sean T. Painter, Matthew Salisbury, Daniel R. Thompson, and Kylie Tomlin. The trials and tribulations particular to leading this project were like none I had encountered as a junior member of the editing team in previous years. I could not have overcome them without the sage advice of our prior editor-in-chief Sean Painter and the novel contributions of our new board members. Without their collective efforts, observations, criticisms, reassurances, and color commentary, this volume would never have come together as planned. I also extend my great appreciation to my family and close friends for urging me to take risks and lending me support in times of great stress and anxiety during the production of this volume. Particular gratitude goes to my life-partner Jesenia Chavez, for providing her valuable insight, tireless support, and extra set of eyes and ears throughout the editing process. Special recognition is due to all of the students who responded to our call for articles with submissions of their own work for our review. We received an excellent collection of graduate and undergraduate papers on a diverse set of topics within the purview of historical inquiry. The selection process proved both incredibly difficult and rewarding. We appreciate every submission, and we sincerely encourage all those not accepted in this edition to review our suggested edits and resubmit their papers to next year’s editorial board. As always, the CSU, Chico faculty and staff was instrumental to our success. I would like to thank all of the professors in the History Department for encouraging the investigation of new topics, challenging their students to write great papers, and reviewing student essays long vi The Chico Historian before they find their way into our hands. Special thanks are in order for our Department Chair, Dr. Laird Easton, who secured funding for this volume of The Chico Historian and provided valuable suggestions. This project certainly would not have been possible without the advice and guidance of the publication’s faculty advisor, Dr. Stephen Lewis, who monitored our progress from beginning to end and gave critical insights whenever there was need. Further thanks also go to the activities of Phi Alpha Theta and the History Club, as well as their faculty co-advisor Dr. Najm al-Din Yousefi, who made some exciting suggestions about the future direction of this publication. The editorial board would also like to extend a warm welcome to two new additions to the Department of History: our incoming Professor of Ancient and Classical History, Dr. Dallas DeForest, and our new Administrative Support Coordinator, Heather Kilcoyne. We are very pleased to welcome you into our department, and we look forward to collaborating with you in our future academic endeavors.

The information provided can be modified to fit most ages. Unit One: PERSONALITIES Unit Two: PLAINS INDIAN LIFE-WAYS Unit Three: CLASH OF CULTURES Unit Four: THE CAMPAIGN OF 1876 Unit Five: BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIGHORN Unit Six: IMPACT OF THE BATTLE In 1879 the land where The Battle of the Little Bighorn occurred was designated Custer Battlefield National Cemetery in order to protect the bodies of the men buried on the field of battle. With this designation, the land fell under the control of the United States War Department. It would remain under their control until 1940, when the land was turned over to the National Park Service. Custer Battlefield National Monument was established by Congress in 1946. The name was changed to Little Bighorn National Monument in 1991. This area was once the homeland of the Crow Indians who by the 1870s had been displaced by the Lakota and Cheyenne. The park consists of 765 acres on the east boundary of the Little Bighorn River: the larger north- ern section is known as Custer Battlefield, the smaller Reno-Benteen Battlefield is located on the bluffs over-looking the river five miles to the south. The park lies within the Crow Indian Reservation in southeastern Montana, one mile east of I-90.

The first day I devoted to bidding a sad, though silent farewell to my people; for The first day I devoted to bidding a sad, though silent farewell to my people; for I did not even dare to tell my father or mother that I was going, lest for joy they should tell some one else. Early next morning, I left them playing their “fan- dango” play. I wept as I looked at them enjoying their innocent play, and thought it was the last time I should ever see them, for I was determined never to return alive. To run by day or by night? To flee on a road or in the woods? To rely upon sub- terfuge or unadulterated boldness? These were life-or-death decisions for a fugitive slave.

  • [Review Of] C. Peter Ripley, Ed. the Black Abolitionist Papers, Vol. 1
    C. Peter Ripley, ed. The Black Abolitionist Papers. Vol. I: The British Isles, 1880-1865. (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1985) xxx, 609 pp., $40.00. From 1830 until 1865, hundreds of American, Canadian, and West Indian blacks went to the British Isles and became active in the antislavery movement, which in 1833 reached a peak there with abolition of slavery in the Empire but was only beginning to gain momentum in the United States. They represented the full spectrum of free or fugitive Western Hemisphere blacks: some were well-known antislavery speakers and writers such as Frederick Douglass and Martin Delany; others were originally unknowns such as John Andrew Jackson, who spoke in "the peculiar broken dialect of the negro," and John Brown, whose language was "of the rudest but most impressive character." A few, as for example William Nixon, resorted to fraudand were imprisoned, or, like Alexander Duval, were reduced to begging in the streets of London. Several were women, most notably Ellen Craft and Sarah Remond. Speaking in public, publishing books and pamphlets and writing for newspapers, and collecting money and goods for causes as varied as founding settlements in Canada, supporting black schools and news­ papers, and buying the freedom of relatives, these energetic and in­ genious people come to be known collectively as the Black Abolitionists. From diverse backgrounds and with no central organization, they nevertheless successfully pursued the common goal of persuading "the British public to place its moral [and financial] support behind the crusade to end American slavery." The story of these courageous people is now generally available in the first volume of a projected five-volume documentary series on the black abolitionists in Britain, Canada, and the United States.

  • Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema
    PERFORMING ARTS • FILM HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts, No. 26 VARNER When early filmgoers watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903, many shrieked in terror at the very last clip, when one of the outlaws turned toward the camera and seemingly fired a gun directly at the audience. The puff of WESTERNS smoke was sudden and hand-colored, and it looked real. Today we can look back at that primitive movie and see all the elements of what would evolve HISTORICAL into the Western genre. Perhaps the Western’s early origins—The Great Train DICTIONARY OF Robbery was the first narrative, commercial movie—or its formulaic yet enter- WESTERNS in Cinema taining structure has made the genre so popular. And with the recent success of films like 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the Western appears to be in no danger of disappearing. The story of the Western is told in this Historical Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on cinematographers; com- posers; producers; films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, Tombstone, and Unforgiven; actors such as Gene Autry, in Cinema Cinema Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne; and directors like John Ford and Sergio Leone.

  • La Représentation De L Indien
    La représentation de l’indien dans le western hollywoodien classique Politique des acteurs Ces quelques propos qui reprennent et développent un travail personnel publié en anglais aux Etats Unis (Racism in the Western, Revisionis Press, New York, 1981) ne sont que de simples réflexions sur un sujet très vaste et complexe qui a déjà été abondamment exploré. On se bornera à citer le remarquable travail de Mathieu Lacque-Labarthe Les Indiens dans le cinéma américain, Presses Universitaires de Paris, 2013) qui représente la somme de ce que l’on peut écrire sur le sujet. Il nous a néanmoins paru que certaines des conclusions de la présente étude ne sont pas nécessairement redondantes par rapport à d’autres écrits et que le lien entre le choix de l’acteur et le personnage historique qu’il incarne n’a pas toujours été suffisamment souligné. ***** Il aura fallu attendre Dances with wolves (Danse avec les loups) de Kevin Costner en 1990 pour voir enfin des rôles d’indiens entièrement interprétés par des Amérindiens.(1) L’Indien (ou Native American pour s’en tenir à la terminologie contemporaine) occupe une place centrale dans le Western, et ce depuis le début du XXème siècle. Mais la tradition qui s’est maintenue jusqu’à la période post hollywoodienne de faire jouer à des acteurs blancs les rôles d’Indiens, même dans les films ouvertement favorables à leur cause (Tell them Willie Boy is here d’Abraham Polonski, 1969) a banni presque totalement les acteurs de ce groupe ethnique de l’écran en dehors de la simple figuration.

The narrator notes that Ross lives in "a nice little white house, on the right hand side of King street as you go in from the country towards the market." The right-hand side? Was that level of precision necessary? Because people challenged the veracity of slave narratives at the time they were published, details mattered very much. But the level of specificity in this instance caught my eye. The facts were borne out: property records in the Charleston County Register Mesne Conveyance Deeds office show that in 1831, a James L. Ross, known also as "Major Ross," purchased a house situated on the west side of King Street, just a few blocks north of the market. If you were entering the city of Charleston from the country, Ross' house would indeed have been on the right-hand side (fig 1).
