  • James A. Murray, Senator James E
    Rocky Mountain RADICALS Copper King James A. Murray, Senator James E. Murray, and Seventy-Eight Years of Montana Politics, 1883-1961 by Bill Farley ike many of the railroad magnates, timber barons, and so-called Copper Kings of the LAmerican West, Irish immigrant James A. Murray built his fortune through discipline and ruth­ less determination. But Jim Murray stood out from his fellow western millionaires in one key respect: his politics were decidedly radical. From the Irish Land League protests of the 1880s through the Eas­ ter Rising of 1916, he was a steadfast champion of an independent Ireland. At the same time, he supported workers’ efforts to gain fair wages. As World War I raged in Europe and demand for copper united the power of the state with the interests of capital, Murray funded the expansion of a pro-labor newspaper with ties to the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). In Butte, a town where there existed, in the words of historian David Emmons, an “ideological seam . where the rights of the Irish and the rights of the worker were joined,” a millionaire capitalist could become a fierce champion of labor during a period of extreme class-based tensions in American politics.1 Nephew James E. Murray shared an allegiance to Ireland, and, despite lacking his uncle’s business acumen, developed a remarkably similar political agenda that found expression in Butte and national Irish politics. After a brutal fight to preserve a multi­ million dollar bequest from his uncle, James found a platform for his progressive ideology in the U.S.

  • Making Modern American Citizenship: Citizens, Aliens, and Rights, 1865-1965
    Making Modern American Citizenship: Citizens, Aliens, and Rights, 1865-1965 By Brendan A. Shanahan A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Robin Einhorn, Chair Professor Mark Brilliant Professor Irene Bloemraad Summer 2018 Abstract Making Modern American Citizenship: Citizens, Aliens, and Rights, 1865-1965 by Brendan A. Shanahan Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Robin Einhorn, Chair American citizenship and the rights of U.S. citizenship became modern from the time of the Civil War until the Civil Rights era. Voting became the quintessential right of American citizenship as marginalized citizens won suffrage rights and noncitizen men lost the franchise in nearly two dozen states and territories. Conversely, nativist-inspired policies that counted only citizens as part of the population for redistricting purposes were gradually rescinded in states where they had long operated. At the same time, many forms of publicly funded blue-collar work and access to professional licenses were increasingly restricted to U.S. citizens. And the liminal legal status of hundreds of thousands of marital expatriates (U.S.-born women who had lost citizenship upon marrying noncitizen men) forced judges and immigration officers to interpret and administer the boundaries and meaning of increasingly exclusive citizenship rights. This dissertation explores how U.S. citizenship and restrictive “rights of citizenship” were claimed, debated, learned, and experienced by citizens and noncitizens alike from 1865 to 1965. Part I, “Consolidating the Political Rights of Citizenship,” examines state constitutional and legislative debates over alien suffrage and the inclusion of noncitizens in apportionment policies.

An unjust legacy: A critical study of the political campaigns of William Andrews Clark, 1888-1901. Master of Science (History), May 2006, 201 pp., references, 125 titles. In a time of laissez-faire government, monopolistic businesses and political debauchery, William Andrews Clark played a significant role in the developing West, achieving financial success rivaling Jay Gould, George Hearst, Andrew Carnegie, and J. P. Morgan. Clark built railroads, ranches, factories, utilities, and developed timber and water resources, and was internationally known as a capitalist, philanthropist and art collector. Nonetheless, Clark is unjustly remembered for his bitter twelve-year political battle with copper baron Marcus Daly that culminated in a scandalous senatorial election in January 1899. The subsequent investigation was a judicial travesty based on personal hatred and illicit tactics. Clark’s political career had national implications and lasting consequences. His enemies shaped his legacy, and for one hundred years historians have unquestioningly accepted it. Copyright 2006 by Stanley Thomas Pitts ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Chapters 1.

  • The Winning of Woman Suffrage in Montana by Doris Buck Ward
    The winning of woman suffrage in Montana by Doris Buck Ward A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in History Montana State University © Copyright by Doris Buck Ward (1974) Abstract: The debates of the Montana Constitutional Convention of 1889 on issues related to equal suffrage afford us direct insights into the intellectual setting of frontier society in Montana. Inherent in the suffrage issue were inter-related concepts regarding the proper role of woman and the locus of power in representative government. The delegates were keenly aware that their blueprint for statehood would mold social contours and determine access to political power. They decided that the political rights of their women should be tightly circumscribed. Suffragists modified their ideology and strategy in successive drives for the ballot. In Montana, as elsewhere, they eventually compromised principles of equal dignity in order to secure a broad consensus for woman suffrage. The Victorian cyst of sexual inequality remained to perpetuate the "woman problem." To many, Jeannette Rankin personified the suffrage movement in Montana. She was a remarkable leader. But others had conducted admirably conceived campaigns under trying circumstances before her. The prospects for equal suffrage rose and fell, not only with quality of leadership, but with reform spirit (particularly with Populism in the 1890's and with Progressivism and Socialism later). But the reform spirit was a conservative one— to restore control of government to the people for social progress compatible with traditional values. Adoption of the equal suffrage amendment to Montana's constitution in 1914, 25 years after admission to statehood, removed formal barriers to women's full participation in Montana government (except for jury duty).

Lewis The Supervisory Committee certifies that this disquisition complies with North Dakota State University’s regulations and meets the accepted standards for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Thomas Isern Chair John Helgeland Mark Harvey Kimberly Porter Kevin Sedivec Approved: 30 January 2012 John Cox Date Department Chair ii ABSTRACT The Upper Musselshell Valley: A Grassroots and Bioregional History chronicles the history of central Montana’s Upper Musselshell Valley in an attempt to craft a viable history of region. As a corrective measure or alternate explanation that revises not only historical interpretation, but also takes into account who, or what group, is the driving force behind each distinct narrative stream (i.e. grand narrative history--histories penned by professional scholars and academics—or grassroots perspectives, the history of region as told by local dwellers), which stream is or is not authoritative, and how to modify, adjust, or meld the various interpretations in order to arrive at a more judicious, perceptive, and democratic version of history. The New Regional History is a coalescence of the grand narrative, the grassroots perspective, bioregionalism, and memory studies that is concerned with humankind’s interaction with the physical environment, and the succession of cultures within that environment.
