The Making of the Panama-California Exposition, 1909-1915 by Richard W
The Journal of San Diego History SAN DIEGO HISTORICAL SOCIETY QUARTERLY Winter 1990, Volume 36, Number 1 Thomas L. Scharf, Editor The Making of the Panama-California Exposition, 1909-1915 by Richard W. Amero Researcher and Writer on the history of Balboa Park Images from this article On July 9, 1901, G. Aubrey Davidson, founder of the Southern Trust and Commerce Bank and Commerce Bank and president of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce, said San Diego should stage an exposition in 1915 to celebrate the completion of the Panama Canal. He told his fellow Chamber of Commerce members that San Diego would be the first American port of call north of the Panama Canal on the Pacific Coast. An exposition would call attention to the city and bolster an economy still shaky from the Wall Street panic of 1907. The Chamber of Commerce authorized Davidson to appoint a committee to look into his idea.1 Because the idea began with him, Davidson is called "the father of the exposition."2 On September 3, 1909, a special Chamber of Commerce committee formed the Panama- California Exposition Company and sent articles of incorporation to the Secretary of State in Sacramento.3 In 1910 San Diego had a population of 39,578, San Diego County 61,665, Los Angeles 319,198 and San Francisco 416,912. San Diego's meager population, the smallest of any city ever to attempt holding an international exposition, testifies to the city's extraordinary pluck and vitality.4 The Board of Directors of the Panama-California Exposition Company, on September 10, 1909, elected Ulysses S. -
A Map of the Louisiana Territory, 1814 Introduction Questions for Discussion
1 A map of the Louisiana Territory, 1814 Introduction The 1803 Louisiana Purchase from France during Thomas Jefferson’s first term as president more than doubled the size of the United States. Jefferson’s next step was to learn all about this new territory of the United States. He chose Meriwether Lewis, a former army captain and his own private secretary, to lead the expedition. Lewis chose another army captain, William Clark, to join him and put together the team. Clark’s exceptional mapmaking skills proved invaluable, and he kept detailed records throughout the journey. They left St. Louis, Missouri, in May 1804 and reached the Pacific Ocean near what would become Columbia, Oregon, in November 1805. Their primary task was to survey the new lands west of the Mississippi River and to locate a water route to the Pacific. They kept meticulous journals about plant and animal life, rocks and minerals, weather conditions, and a wide variety of other details about this new territory. Another important goal was to initiate good relationships with the American Indians. During the winter, a French Canadian trader, Toussaint Charbonneau, and his wife, Sacagawea, a Shoshone Indian, joined the expedition. Sacagawea was instrumental in introducing Lewis and Clark to Native Americans. She acted as a translator and presented the expedition as peaceful. The expedition returned to Missouri in September 1806 with valuable maps. After Lewis’s death in 1809, Clark took responsibility for organizing and releasing the expedition journals to eager scientists and curious Americans. Questions for Discussion Read the document introduction and closely examine the enlarged document image in order to answer these questions. -
Thomas Jefferson's Letter to Robert Livingston (Early 1802)
OFFICIAL BUSINESS OF THE UNITED STATES BRIEFING: Agent, the United States government is currently seeking to purchase land from Canada in order to add more territory for future states. In order to fully understand what the United States government can expect from this massive land deal, we have to understand how the only other deal of this magnitude “went down.” We desperately need your help in solving these key questions regarding the “Louisiana Territory.” Here is what we know about the Louisiana Territory: In 1803, President Thomas Je fferson purchased a massive plot of land (may have done so illegally) that more than doubled the size of the United States. This land is referred to as the Louisiana Territory. Just like today, the United States was very enthusiastic about acquiring new territories; after all, this allows for more states to be admied to the Union and will help support our growing population. However, the last thing a prosperous country like us needs is to be indebted to a country forever, or to have been “duped” into buying a useless piece of land. A picture of the land in question is included below. We need your help! Use the following documents to answer the questions below about the Louisiana Territory. You should submit documentation of each question on thee appropriate “Louisiana Territory Briefing Submission” form. Agent, there is one more thing I must mention. I hope you understand the seriousness of this investigation. Because of this, your answers to the below questions cannot be short nor simple. They are required to be deep, complex, and must show a strong use of the documents in this case file. -

MARSDEN, PROFESSOR DEPARTMENT OF POPULAR CULTURE DIRECTOR-AMERICAN CULTURE Ph.D. PROGRAM BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY BOWLING GREEN, OHIO 43403 ABSTRACT The New. Orleans Exposition was an entertainment event not in the tradition of the World's Fairs. It was designed as an elaborate theme park. Problems came from not understanding the nature of the World's Fair audiences and who attend this type of event. THE 1984 LOUISIANA WORLD EXPOSITION AND THE WORLD 'S FAIR TRADITION INTRODUCTION Few World's Fairs have been as heavily promoted or as financially unsuccessful as New Orleans' recent entry into the business of sponsoring world class celebrations. The promotional copy on one of the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition's official publications read as follows: THE GREAT CELEBRATION! "The World's Fair and New Orleans. -
