On each card, I described the nature of the case and usually gave the names of the lawyers who were trying the case. In the back of that file is a card listing the cases by name that were appealed to the State Supreme Court and the result. Usually I gave an abbreviation of the casebook in which the case could be found. Another set of cards give dates, beginning in December 1955 and ending in 1964. On each card are at least six names of lawyers who had appeared before me during that year whom I had selected for exceptionally good work. My system was to keep a record on the bench as cases were tried, especially cases that were well tried. I listed those cases that I thought should be reviewed at the end of the year for the purpose of commending the lawyers. On each card is at least six names and I notice on the first list is J.D. Ehrlichman, a lawyer who later went to the White House and was there at the time of the term of President Nixon. 1 0 Sending these letters to each of those men or women each December, near the time of Christmas, was an i'dea of my own and it had an interesting effect. The recipients were pleased to receive these commendation letters but surprised that I would have enough information to describe in my letter the reasons why the lawyer was selected and what he or she did during trial that attracted my attention. I note that one letter went to Paul Ashley, who was the senior partner of a major firm. I had sent him a letter in December of 1956. Shortly after the first of the year Mr. Ashley came to see me. He told me that my letter had changed his life. The younger lawyers in his office had told him that he had to retire and that he could no longer go to court. W}len he won this case and had my letter, he showed it around the office and was thrilled. He was then willing to retire if that was the thing to do. Many of the recipients of these letters became famous or unusually successful. Included in that group are Charles Z. Smith, Donald Voorhees, Donald Haley, Stanley Soderland, Robert Beezer and Frank Roberts. All became judges. The only woman I had selected was Bernice Jonson, the very best lawyer in the city in the handling and processing of divorce cases. Others became bar leaders 2 including W. Paul Uhlmann, Murray Guterson, J. Paul Coie, Richard Riddell, J.D. McCutcheon, and of course, Mr. Ashley, who had already been bar president ·before he received the letter. EAW/ar 3 .

  • Tor in Oklahoma All the Experiences That Went Into the Making of the Nation Have Been Speeded Up
    Tor in Oklahoma all the experiences that went into the making of the nation have been speeded up. Here all the American traits have been intensified.The one who can interpret Oklahoma can grasp the meaning of America in the modern world." —Angie Debo, Oklahoma: Footloose and Fancy Free, 1949 Every one of these United States touts its unique place in the American Story, but few have as curious a history as Oklahoma. Its place on the continent would have predicted statehood much sooner than 1907, when Oklahoma became the 46th Star. But the federal Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the establishment of an Indian Territory would put the land on a different path, diverging from the logical progression of the white man's Manifest Destiny. csnl^afo /jeu-cr The relocated tribes were promised their new land "as long as the waters run" by U.S. treaty. The tribes would find the promise broken in the latter years of the nineteenth century when Indian Territory saw the breakup of reservations, and then in the early twentieth century when the collective tribes were denied a state of their own. Instead, the territory would join with Oklahoma Territory to form the new state. When areas of the territories were opened for settlement through land runs and lotteries, African Ameri­ cans came to fulfill the promise of equality, only to see the promise shattered with the establishment of Jim Crow laws. Even the "promised land" promoted during the runs and lotteries would ultimately lead to broken dreams for many Euro-Americans, who would see desperate hardship in the depression, drought, and farm crisis of the 1930s.

Anthropology and history contain the most knowledge pertaining to American Indians, derived from their long traditions of scholarship focusing on American Indians. The other social sciences are far behind. Consequently our social science knowledge about American Indian peoples and their concerns is not balanced but biased by the disciplinary perspectives of anthropology and history. The likelihood that American society contains little realistic knowledge about contemporary American Indians in comparison to knowledge about traditional and historical American Indians is perhaps a function of this disciplinary imbalance.

  • Dragoo-Butterfield Overland Mail Route
    THE CHRONICLES OF OKLAHOMA Marking the Butterfeld: Retracing the Indian Territory Segment of the 1858–61 Butterfeld Overland Mail Stagecoach Road By Susan Penn Dragoo* In May 2018 the United States National Park Ser- vice recommended that the Butterfeld Overland Mail Stagecoach Road be designated a National Historic Trail, becoming a part of a system of modern trails that follow as closely as possible to the original routes of travel. The Butterfeld Overland Mail Company operated on the south- ern route from 1858 to 1861 and ran approximately 2,800 miles from Saint Louis, Missouri, to San Francisco, California. It was the frst successful overland enterprise to effciently and consistently connect the eastern United States with the west coast for mail delivery and passenger service, a need prompted by the huge migration to the Pa- cifc coast after the discovery of gold in California in 1848. It was also the longest stage line of its time, created signifcant infrastructure, and was a major infuence in the opening of the West.1 One hundred ninety-two miles of the Butterfeld line traversed Indian Territory, entering the Choctaw Nation from Fort Smith, Ar- 44 BUTTERFIELD OVERLAND MAIL ROUTE kansas, and crossing the Red River into Texas at Colbert’s Ferry, south of present-day Durant. Oklahoma historian Muriel H. Wright wrote in The Chronicles of Oklahoma in 1933 that if a straight-edge were placed on a map of southeastern Oklahoma between Fort Smith and Old Boggy Depot (representing a signifcant portion of the Butterfeld trail through Oklahoma), the route of the trail would deviate little from that line.

Metcalf Interviews Conducted by Eleanor Swent in 1994 Copyright @ 1995 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Norman Cleaveland dated December 15, 1994. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.

These types Tretain their characteristics to this day, perhaps, largely, because groups of relatives friends and neighbors settled in one section and gave a dominant tinge in creed, church and custom. The sons and daughters of these families married, and creed and custom grew stronger from year to year. Thus the Scotch-Irish, a people of Scotch origin, though living in Ireland for many years before the American emigration, settled in many parts of Virginia, North and South Carolina, and what is now East Tennessee, in great numbers and impressed their Presbyterian faith upon their posterity.

  • University Microfilms International 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily d vendant upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image o f the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4 . The m ajority o f users indicate th at the textual content is o f greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
