For James Hagerty Acknowledgements I wish to extend my most sincere appreciation to my dissertation committee. Your influence on my work is, perhaps, apparent, but I am truly grateful for the guidance you have provided over the years. Your patience and support while I balanced the weight of a museum career and the completion of my dissertation meant the world! I would certainly be remiss to not thank the staff, trustees, and volunteers at the Millicent Rogers Museum for bearing with me while I finalized my degree. Your kind words, enthusiasm, and encouragement were greatly appreciated. I know I looked dreadfully tired in the weeks prior to the completion of my dissertation and I thank you for not mentioning it. The Couse Foundation, the University of Oklahoma’s Charles M. Russell Center, and the School of Visual Arts, likewise, deserve a heartfelt thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world of Taos and supporting my research. A very special thank you is needed for Ginnie and Ernie Leavitt, Carl Jones, and Byron Price.

A special tribute goes to my wife, Caro, whohas supported all of my activi- ties these past 38 years in our marriage and in my careerwith the Forest Service. In the time it has taken me to compile this document, scoresof people throughout the Forest Service have provided information,photos, and drawings; told their stories; assisted In editing my writingattempts; and expressed support for this enormous effort. Active andretired architects from all the Forest Service Regions as well as severalof the research sta- tions have provided specific informationregarding their history. These individuals are too numerous to mention by namehere, but can be found throughout the document.

    is identical to a photograph taken in 1866 (fig. 12), which includes sev- eral men and a rowboat in the fore- ground. From this we might assume that Eastman, and perhaps Chapman, may have consulted a wartime pho- tograph. His antebellum Sumter is highly idealized, drawn perhaps from an as-yet unidentified print, or extrapolated from maps and plans of the fort—child’s play for a master topographer like Eastman. Coastal Defenses The forts painted by Eastman had once been the state of the art, before rifled artillery rendered masonry Fig. 11. Seth Eastman, Fort Sumter, South Carolina, After the War, 1870–1875. obsolete, as in the bombardment of Fort Sumter in 1861 and the capture of Fort Pulaski one year later. By 1867, when the construction of new Third System fortifications ceased, more than 40 citadels defended Amer- ican coastal waters.12 Most of East- man’s forts were constructed under the Third System, but few of them saw action during the Civil War. A number served as military prisons. As commandant of Fort Mifflin on the Delaware River from November 1864 to August 1865, Col. Eastman would have visited Fort Delaware on Pea Patch Island, located in the river channel between Wilmington and New Castle, Delaware. Channel-dredging had dumped tons of spoil at the northern end of the island, land upon which a miserable prison-pen housed enlisted Confederate pris- oners of war. Their officers were Fig. 12. It appears that Eastman used this George N. Barnard photograph, Fort quartered within the fort in relative Sumter in April, 1865, as the source for his painting.

  • HIGH DESERT VOICES July 2015
    HIGH DESERT VOICES July 2015 News and Information published by and for Volunteers Glow: Living Lights Exhibit by Siobhan Sullivan, Newsletter Editor As you step into the new Glow: Living Lights exhibit, your eyes quick- ly adjust to the darkened room and the kiosks full of information related to bioluminescence. The word bioluminescence is derived from the Greek bios ‘living’ and lumine ‘light’. Though many land species are biolumi- nescent, 90% of life in the sea has the ability to glow. Several land-dwelling bioluminescent plants and animals are high- lighted. There is a small model of a luminous land snail with its yellow- green light. The South American railroad worm is unique in that it glows in more than one color. The body segments put off a yellow-green light and the head has two red lights that resemble headlights. A live Emperor scorpion, a species from West Afri- ca, is featured in this part of the display. Forty species of mushrooms have the characteristic of glowing. In the High Desert the world’s largest living fungus, Armillaria solidipes, AKA the Humong- ous Fungus, glows. The specimen in Malheur National Forest covers an area of 3.4 square miles and is thought to be 2,400 years old. The bioluminescence of fungi may serve to attract insects that will spread their spore or serve as a defense mechanism to keep potential predators away. Fireflies communicate by flashing their lights. A male firefly will flash its yellow light every six seconds while trying to attract a mate. If a female flashes within two seconds of his flashing, she is more likely to attract a male.

  • Newsletter Newsletter of the Pacific Northwest Forest Service Retirees — Fall 2012 President’S Message—Mike Ash
    OldSmokeys Newsletter Newsletter of the Pacific Northwest Forest Service Retirees — Fall 2012 President’s Message—Mike Ash I’m writing this message amidst the arrival of the fall colors in beautiful Vail, Colorado, following a fantastic U.S. Forest Service retiree reunion called “Rendezvous in the Rockies.” This reunion was well attended by over 650 members of our retiree family, in- cluding over a hundred OldSmokeys! It was great to see so many good friends, many of whom were anxious to check in on those of you who were not able to attend. I am so proud to be a part of our great Forest Service family. I honestly cannot think of another organization in the world whose members maintain such a great relationship as we do. Speaking of our Forest Service family, I want to point out that the OldSmokeys of the Pacific Northwest Forest Service Association (PNWFSA) are the largest and probably most active of all the Forest Service retiree organizations. I’ve been thinking a lot about the fine cadre of men and women who keep our PNWFSA going. This cadre includes the Board of Directors, the various committee members, those of you who step up and take on the responsibility to coordinate an event or publish a book or write an article for the newsletter, or any of the other logistical items it takes to keep things working for our organization of 920+ members. Sometimes I cringe a bit when I think that it might be time to give some of these workhorses a break even as I worry that their work might be missed.

  • <Abstract Centered> an ABSTRACT of the THESIS OF
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Chaylon D. Shuffield for the degree of Master of Science in Forest Resources presented on December 21, 2010. Title: Overstory Composition and Stand Structure Shifts within Inter-mixed Ponderosa Pine and Lodgepole Pine Stands of the South-central Oregon Pumice Zone. Abstract approved: _____________________________________________________________________ John D. Bailey Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) and lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. murrayana) forests of south-central Oregon have been extensively researched over the last century. However, little information has been reported on overstory composition and stand structure shifts associated with fire exclusion within inter-mixed ponderosa pine and lodgepole pine stands of the south-central Oregon pumice zone. In recent time, the lack of disturbance history and quantitative information needed to reconstruct historic stand conditions has become a growing concern for many ecologists. The need to collect quantitative information from remnant old-growth stands is imperative to improve restoration activities, incorporate stand-level diversity, identify the degree of successional departure, and to ensure valuable data is archived for future reference and ecological analysis. In Chapter 1, an exhaustive search for published information on early land-use practices specific to our study area was performed to: (1) identify the degree of Native American influence on vegetation; (2) identify direct and indirect Euro-American disturbances involving the loss of natural processes; and (3) establish a reference period for appropriate representation of historic conditions. In Chapter 2, remnant old-growth stands were analyzed using dendrochronological techniques and statistical comparisons to quantify: (1) shifts in overstory composition and stand structure; (2) growth and development of ponderosa pine and lodgepole pine across time; and to (3) characterize the influence of climate and fire on species recruitment.
