  • Wisconsin Topic Ideas for National History Day Research
    Wisconsin Topic Ideas for National History Day Research General Topic Ideas for Students Interested in Exploring the History of Our State National History Day in Wisconsin Updated: Summer 2010 1 A Warning for All Researchers! What follows is a very GENERAL list of topic ideas for you to consider. This list is by no means complete or exhaustive of Wisconsin history. There are many, many more fantastic topics to consider! These topics are NOT THEME SPECIFIC. You will need to take a closer look at each potential topic and consider how it fits with the annual theme for NHD. This is a general list. All the topics listed in this book WILL NOT fit the annual theme. Selecting a topic from this list does not guarantee a WINNING PROJECT. Selecting a topic is just the first step. You will need to follow through with good research, a strong argument, and a clear presentation. Selecting a topic from this list isn’t the final step. Many of these topics need to be further NARROWED in order for them to be a suitable National History Day project. Why Choose a Wisconsin Topic? The National History Day program doesn’t have any requirements or give you any advantage in choosing a Wisconsin topic. Wisconsin history, however, is full of great ideas for your History Day project. It is easy to overlook the history right around us, but your National History Day project can help you to find these amazing local stories that helped shape your history! Armed with local resources and strong research, you can become an authority on your topic and your project could be more competitive than a topic that many other students across the state or nation could choose.

Fifty years in the Northwest http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.01070 Library of Congress At the age of nineteen years, I landed on the banks of the Upper Mississippi, pitching my tent at Prairie du Chien, then (1836) a military post known as Fort Crawford. I kept memoranda of my various changes, and many of the events transpiring. Subsequently, not, however, with any intention of publishing them in book form until 1876, when, reflecting that fifty years spent amidst the early and first white settlements, and continuing till the period of civilization and prosperity, itemized by an observer and participant in the stirring scenes and incidents depicted, might furnish material for an interesting volume, valuable to those who should come after me, I concluded to gather up the items and compile them in a convenient form.

  • Substitution Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 25(D): Mootness and Related Problems
    Substitution Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 25(d): Mootness and Related Problems Although private suits against the government may be barred by the doctrine of sovereign immunity,' it has long been recognized that in certain circumstances a private litigant may seek equitable relief "intrinsically against the government" by naming a govern- ment officer as defendant.' These cases present particular difficul- ties when the named defendant, for whatever reason, leaves office during the course of the litigation and is succeeded. At common law, a successor could not be substituted as defendant in a suit that had been brought against the predecessor in his official capacity unless a statute or court rule permitted the substitution;' the action was said to abate.4 A plaintiff thwarted by a succession in office would thus have to begin the litigation anew in order to acquire the desired relief.5 Since the subsequent suit generally involved the relitigation of numerous issues,' the abatement doctrine has been widely and properly criticized for causing the waste of both judicial and per- 7 sonal resources. 1 See generally 3 K. DAvis, ADMINISTRATIVE LAW TREATISE §§ 27.01-27.05, 27.09 (1958). 2 E.g., Philadelphia Co. v. Steinson, 223 U.S. 605 (1912); Ex parte Young, 209 U.S. 123 (1908).

By Alice Elizabeth Smith. Madison, Wisconsin: State Historical Society of Wisconsin. 1954. Pp. vi, 472. $5. In any general study of the western transmission of American law it is nec­ essary to pay especial attention to the careers of the lawyers and judges who moved westward with the frontier. The career of James Duane Doty is typical. From New York, where he was born, Doty went to Detroit (the capital of Mich­ igan Territory) in the summer of 1818 at the age of 18.
