This thesis studies the rise of violence in SLO, its causation, and effects. The vigilance committee of 1858 represents the culmination of the violence that came from sweeping changes in the region, stemming from its earliest conquest by the Spanish. The mounting violence built upon itself as extensive changes took place. These changes include the conquest of California, from the Spanish mission period, Mexican and Alvarado revolutions, Mexican-American War, and the Gold Rush. The history of the county is explored until 1863 to garner an understanding of the borderlands violence therein. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Page CHAPTER INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………... 1 PART I - CAUSATION…………………………………………………… 12 HISTORIOGRAPHY……………………………………………........ 12 BEFORE CONQUEST………………………………………..…….. 21 WAR……………………………………………………………..……. 36 GOLD RUSH……………………………………………………..….. 42 LACK OF LAW…………………………………………………….…. 45 RACIAL DISTRUST………………………………………………..... 50 OUTSIDE INFLUENCE………………………………………………58 LOCAL CRIME………………………………………………………..67 CONCLUSION……………………………………………………….

    APPENDIX IV.H.1 Historic Resources Evaluation Report, Wilshire Grand Hotel Prepared by Galvin Preservation Associates, May 2010 HISTORIC RESOURCE EVALUATION REPORT WILSHIRE GRAND HOTEL August 2009 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose and Qualifications The purpose of this report is to determine and set forth whether or not a development project (sometimes referred to as the “Project”) will impact historic resources. The project site is located at 930 Wilshire Boulevard in downtown of Los Angeles, and is occupied by the Wilshire Grand Hotel. Constructed in 1952, the Wilshire Grand Hotel is not currently designated a landmark at the national, state, or local levels. Nor has it been previously evaluated as significant in any historic resource surveys. As such, the Wilshire Grand Hotel was evaluated as a historic resource for the first time as part of this report. Teresa Grimes, Laura Vanaskie and Ben Taniguchi of Galvin Preservation Associates were responsible for the preparation of this report, which was submitted to Christopher A. Joseph & Associates. All three preparers fulfill the qualifications for historic preservation professionals outlined in Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 61. Resumes are attached. 1.2 Methodology In conducting the analysis of potential historic resources and impacts, the following tasks were performed: 1. Conducted a field inspection of the project site and surrounding area to determine the study area and to identify potential historic resources. The study area was identified as the Wilshire Grand Hotel property. 2. Researched the Wilshire Grand Hotel to determine whether or not it is currently listed as a landmark at the national, state, or local levels and whether or not it has been previously evaluated as a historic resource.

  • Museum of History and Holocaust Education Legacy Series Jean Ousley Interview Conducted by Adina Langer January 29, 2018 Transcribed by Adina Langer
    Museum of History and Holocaust Education Legacy Series Jean Ousley Interview Conducted by Adina Langer January 29, 2018 Transcribed by Adina Langer Born in 1945, Jean Ousley met her father for the first time after he returned from service in World War II. Her mother worked at the Kellogg Plant in Battle Creek, Michigan, and then as a welder at a factory in California. As an adult, Ousley led the Georgia chapter of the American Rosie the Riveter Association because of her mother’s contributions to the war effort. Full Transcript Interviewer: Today is January 29, 2018. My name is Adina Langer, and I'm the curator of the Museum of History and Holocaust Education at Kennesaw State University, and I'm here at the Sturgis Library with Jean Ousley. First of all, do you agree to this interview? Ousley: Yes, absolutely. Interviewer: Could you please state your full name? Ousley: Interesting, because I told you I'm Jean, but remember, my story is that I'm Gloria Jean. I was named because my grandmother wanted my name to be Gloria, but then I think my mother was trying to exert her independence, and she never called me Gloria. So Jean is—Gloria Jean Spriggs Ousley. Interviewer: OK. And what's your birthday? Ousley: April 22, 1945. Interviewer: And where were you born? Ousley: I was born in Gainesville in the Hall County Hospital in Gainesville, Georgia. Interviewer: So, before we talk about your childhood, I'd like to go back a bit further and talk about your parents. What were your parents' names? Ousley: My father was Samuel Eldo Spriggs—the middle name kind of unusual—from basically Gwinnett County, Georgia, I guess.
