  • The Columbia River Historical Expedition
    THE COLUMBIA RIVER HISTORICAL EXPEDITION THE EXPEDITION During the latter part of July, the Columbia River Historical Expedition made its way to the Oregon country over a route that closely followed the course taken by the fur-traders and pioneers of a previous generation, traversing in a few days the vast extent of territory which those hardy adventurers took months to cover. It was the second expedition of its kind, and like the Upper Missouri Historical Expedition of 1925, it was conducted under the auspices of the Great Northern Railway, Its sponsors were the governors of Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, and the state historical societies of those com­ monwealths. Many of the members of last year's expedition were also on this trip, and there were many others, the party averaging about one hundred and sixty persons. In addition to those who made the whole trip many joined the expedition for longer or shorter periods — the governors of the different states traversed, railroad officials, a group of Portland people, and others. An interesting addition to the party this year was the group of high school students from various parts of the United States chosen through a series of oratorical contests on the French pioneers under the direction of the Franco- American branch of the American Good Will Association, A group of five French students, winners of similar con­ tests in France, also accompanied the expedition and were occasionally represented on the programs. The purpose of the expedition, as explained on the gay invitation, was " to visit historic places, hold memorial celebra­ tions, and dedicate appropriate monuments in honor of distin­ guished pathfinders and pioneers of the Northwest." Not 2« 1926 COLUMBIA RIVER EXPEDITION 243 only was the Northwest of the past — its history, romance, and hardships — visualized for the visitor, but also the Northwest of today and even that of tomorrow, its people, its spirit, and its aspirations.

  • The Irony of Emancipation in the Civil War South Clark Scott Nesbit
    The Irony of Emancipation in the Civil War South Clark Scott Nesbit, Jr. Richmond, Virginia B.A., Swarthmore College, 2001 M.A., University of Virginia, 2005 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Corcoran Department of History University of Virginia December, 2013 2 © Clark Scott Nesbit, Jr., 2013 3 ABSTRACT Nearly everyone in the Civil War South had opportunity to feel the irony of emancipation. This irony arose from the wartime difference between ending slavery as a regime and freeing slaves, as individuals. This dissertation explores the ways in which white southerners sacrificed, or refused to sacrifice, their interest in the enslavement of particular southern blacks for the sake of a regime that would safeguard slavery. It argues that African Americans at times sought their own freedom even if it meant aiding the Confederate regime, and at other times sought to avoid warzones even if it meant remaining legally enslaved. It argues that the Union’s war to defeat the Confederacy was also a war waged against the Confederates’ main source of labor. Such a war meant, for most who became free in the Civil War, emancipation through displacement and integration into a new system for managing former slaves, the refugee camp/plantation/recruitment complex. For those who remained in the wake of Sherman’s marches and other U.S. raids, it meant living in a land with little food. 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my dissertation committee, Ed Ayers, Gary Gallagher, Peter Onuf, and Maurie McInnis for their patience and thoughtful critiques.

  • Some Comments on the Historic and Geographic Importance of Railroads

By the 1870s — a short decade after its introduc­ tion to Minnesota — the railroad had caught up with Some Coimnents on agricultural settlement. Railroads and settlement com­ plemented each other during these years. Not only the Historic and were railroads built to serve farm populations, but farmers, at the same time, located in accordance with projected or anticipated railroad construction."

  • Historiography of the Dakota War
    Historiography of the Dakota War Kellian Clink Minnesota State University, Mankato Northern Great Plains History Conference October 2001 INTRODUCTION I am honored to be allowed to address this group today. I am a librarian by trade and a historian by avocation. I have been studying history for something like 20 years as a student and a lay reader and am interested how history has changed during that period, but more generally, how it has changed and is changing throughout the history of our state. To this end, I decided to study a relatively finite event, the Dakota War, from the beginning of Minnesota’s historical writings to the present. My hypothesis was that I would find both overt racism as well as an unspoken, underlying view of the Dakota as a problem to be eliminated in order that European settlers might farm and prosper in peace. An article that summed up what I expected to find was by William Robbins. He noted in his article “Conquest of the American West: History as Eulogy: “The European invaders not only attempted to destroy American Indians and their culture; they also created in the process their own imperial histories to justify their dispossession of the American Indian. Whether as tenantless wanderers or as a menace to the invading European, Indian people are usually are described as obstacles who had to be sacrificed in the name of Progress and the advancement of Civilization…So, the American Indian is doubly damned. Freely exploited by the invading European --- in many cases exterminated—then, to add insult to injury, Indians were made nonpersons in the conquerors written history.” (Robbins 8) Priscilla Russo, a Mankato native and PhD in history wrote in 1976 "the concept of civilization versus the Collections of the Minnesota State Historical Society and the Minnesota History journal as my sample to look at how history has changed during the last 130 years—only 37 articles all total.
