Stop Cruel Gassing of Texas Wildlife Stop Cruel Gassing of Texas Wildlife March 2, 2017 We, the 5,441 people undersigned, urge the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to amend the Parks and Wildlife Code to prohibit “gassing,” the cruel practice of using toxic substances such as gasoline and ammonia to hunt rattlesnakes. Pouring gasoline in dens and crevices to flush out rattlers also harms numerous other animals that share their home with snakes, including 20 endangered species. It’s time to end this outdated practice.

Since this Latvian army victory, first celebrated as Lāčplēsis Day on 11 November1920, accounts of this battle have been unrepresented, poorly represented or misrepresented. For example, the 2007 historical film Rīgas Sargi (The Defenders of Riga) uses the 1888 poem Lāčplēsis by Andrējs Pumpurs as a template to portray the Latvians successfully defeating the German-Russian force on their own without Allied military aid. Pumpurs’ dream and revolutionary legacy has provided a well used script for Latvian nation building.

Adams Committee Members, Adam Seipp James Hannah Head of Department, David Vaught December 2011 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT “Trafalgar Refought”: The Professional and Cultural Memory of Horatio Nelson During Britain’s Navalist Era, 1880-1914. (December 2011) Bradley M. Cesario, B.A., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. R.J.Q. Adams Horatio Lord Nelson, Britain’s most famous naval figure, revolutionized what victory meant to the British Royal Navy and the British populace at the turn of the nineteenth century. But his legacy continued after his death in 1805, and a century after his untimely passing Nelson meant as much or more to Britain than he did during his lifetime. This thesis utilizes primary sources from the British Royal Navy and the general British public to explore what the cultural memory of Horatio Nelson’s life and achievements meant to Britain throughout the Edwardian era and to the dawn of the First World War.

Throngs of people lined the levee and the wharf. Rumors had spread that the little vessel carried Sam Houston, the hero of San Jacinto, on board. He was, some said, a dying man. The crowd had come to catch a glimpse of him. General Houston lay on a pallet on the open deck, his shattered ankle covered with blood. One of the first to reach him was William Christy, an old friend who had served with him in the United States Army. A band struck up a welcome march as the crowd surged forward to help carry the wounded man off the ship. http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc28332/m1/19/?q=sta r%20of%20destiny p1 & 2 3 May 22, 1836 Margaret Lea, page ii Sam Houston, page 247 In the group who had come with Professor McLean was Margaret Lea, a seventeen-year-old student from Alabama.
