A Comanche man on a white horse was barreling down the bluff toward Dodge and the remnants of the dragoon company that stood waiting with him. For weeks the dragoons had been wandering around the southern plains, hoping to meet the Comanches and impress them with the United States’ military might. However, almost immediately after the dragoon company of 500 men had departed from Fort Gibson in June 1834, they were plagued by a feverish illness and suffered from the lack of adequate provisions and potable water. When General Henry Leavenworth, the group’s leader, was taken ill near the Washita River, Dodge took command, pressing forward in the July heat with about one-fifth of the original force. The Comanche man riding swiftly toward Dodge was part of a larger group that the dragoons had spotted earlier on the hot July day.

Employing Critical Race Theory as the theoretical framework, each counties’ analysis results are examined. The concepts of race, systemic racism, White privilege and interest-convergence are used to assess both counties continuance of sustaining a racially imbalanced historical narrative. I posit that the construction of history of Bates County and Cass County continues to influence and reinforces systemic racism in the local narrative. Keywords: critical race theory, race, racism, social construction of reality, white privilege, normality, interest-convergence iii APPROVAL PAGE The faculty listed below, appointed by the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies, have examined a dissertation titled, “Whitewashing or Amnesia: A Study of the Construction of Race in Two Midwestern Counties,” presented by Debra Kay Taylor, candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy degree, and certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance.

The Ghosts of Guerrilla Memory: How Civil War Bushwhackers Became Gunslingers in the American West. University of Georgia Press, $29.95 ISBN 9780820350028 Heroes from Another Land: Confederate Guerrillas and the making of the Wild West Few events in American history generate as much popular interest and stir up as many conflicting memories as the Civil War and the Wild West. Both produced battles, heroes, villains, victims, drama, and controversy that left lasting imprints on American culture. Dominant narratives abound in both. Civil War accounts center on the famous leaders and battles in Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia and foster collective memories anchored on the Lost Cause, emancipation, and the restoration of the Union. In the West, the inexorable march of civilization—punctuated by tales of railroads, cattle, miners, bison, Indians, outlaws, gamblers, and lawmen—ushers in end of the frontier as a dynamic catalyst for the development of American values. In The Ghosts of Guerrilla Memory, Matthew C. Hulbert skillfully uses memoirs, contemporary histories, Hollywood movies, and numerous primary sources to take some of the key figures from one of the unruly fringes of the Civil War—the ugly partisan bloodletting in Missouri and Kansas—and link their collective memories to the legendary outlaw myths of the Wild West.

    Bushwhacker Jayhawker Script FINAL

    Shared Stories of the Civil War Reader’s Theater Project Guerilla Warfare Bushwhackers and Jayhawkers The Border War and Civil War on the Kansas-Missouri border provided a stage for a war of words and a war of violence. As settlers from Missouri and New England came to the Kansas Territory, emotions ran high and tensions escalated as both factions fought to ensure Kansas entered the Union with a constitution favoring their cause. By 1856, violence had erupted along the Kansas-Missouri border and continued to rage through the Civil War years of 1861 through 1865. As both sides engaged in a physical fight, two new terms emerged to define – and to demonize – the guerilla warriors: “bushwhacker” and “jayhawker.” Please Note: Regional historians have reviewed the source materials used, the script, and the list of citations for accuracy.
