WOODS* On April 9, 1852, the aging sidewheeler steamboat Saluda, loaded with passengers and cargo heading up the Missouri River, exploded at Lexington, Missouri. Loss of life and limb was so horrific that the disaster received wide­ spread newspaper coverage then and significant commentary since in Missouri county histories and books about western steamboating.1 Scholars have described the event as "the most terrible disaster that ever occurred on the *William G. Hartley is an associate research professor of history at Brigham Young University's Smith Institute, Prove He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in history at BYU and has completed doctoral course work at Washington State University. Fred E. Woods is a professor at BYU specializing in Mormon migration. He holds degrees from BYU and received his PhD from the University of Utah. Hartley and Woods co-authored a book titled Explosion of the Steamboat Saluda, pub­ lished by Millennial Press in 2002. Histories of the Saluda explosion include Dan H. Spies, "The Story of the 'Saluda': A Rescript of the Biggest and Most Fatal Steamboat Explosion on the Missouri River" (typescript, University of Missouri-Columbia, [pre-1965]), and William G. Hartley and Fred E. Woods, Explosion of the Steamboat Saluda (Riverton, UT: Millennial Press, 2002). See also "Steam Boiler Explosion," in History of Ray County, Mo. (St. Louis: Missouri Historical Co., 1881), 377, and Walter Williams, ed., A History of Northwest Missouri (Chicago: Lewis Publishing Co., 1915), 1: 159. 282 Missouri Historical Review Missouri."2 That claim, however, cannot be verified because newspapers at the time and historians since have put forth veiy different estimates of passenger numbers and casualties. The Saluda disaster "has become a legend of the river. Much has been written about it and much romancing has been done."3 Several questions linger like hazy smoke around the Saluda's story: How many passengers were on board when the boat left St. Louis? How many when it exploded? Who were they? Where were they headed? How many, by name, can be identified as killed or missing? What became of the sur­ vivors? What did they say about the tragedy? Other matters also deserve revisiting, such as: What was the condition of the Saluda? What caused the explosion? Who is to blame? How did Lexington residents respond to the tragedy? The authors have drawn from their recent and ongoing research in an attempt to answer those questions and properly position the Saluda

    “Between the Creeks” Gwen Pettit This is a compilation of weekly newspaper columns on local history written by Gwen Pettit during 1986-1992 for the Allen Leader and the Allen American in Allen, Texas. Most of these articles were initially written and published, then run again later with changes and additions made. I compiled these articles from the Allen American on microfilm at the Allen Public Library and from the Allen Leader newspapers provided by Mike Williams. Then, I typed them into the computer and indexed them in 2006-07. Lois Curtis and then Rick Mann, Managing Editor of the Allen American gave permission for them to be reprinted on April 30, 2007, [email protected]. Please, contact me to obtain a free copy on a CD. I have given a copy of this to the Allen Public Library, the Harrington Library in Plano, the McKinney Library, the Allen Independent School District and the Lovejoy School District. Tom Keener of the Allen Heritage Guild has better copies of all these photographs and is currently working on an Allen history book. Keener offices at the Allen Public Library. Gwen was a longtime Allen resident with an avid interest in this area’s history. Some of her sources were: Pioneering in North Texas by Capt. Roy and Helen Hall, The History of Collin County by Stambaugh & Stambaugh, The Brown Papers by George Pearis Brown, The Peters Colony of Texas by Seymour V.

  • Guide to Oral History Collections in Missouri
    Guide to Oral History Collections in Missouri. Compiled and Edited by David E. Richards Special Collections & Archives Department Duane G. Meyer Library Missouri State University Springfield, Missouri Last updated: September 16, 2012 This guide was made possible through a grant from the Richard S. Brownlee Fund from the State Historical Society of Missouri and support from Missouri State University. Introduction Missouri has a wealth of oral history recordings that document the rich and diverse population of the state. Beginning around 1976, libraries, archives, individual researchers, and local historical societies initiated oral history projects and began recording interviews on audio cassettes. The efforts continued into the 1980s. By 2000, digital recorders began replacing audio cassettes and collections continued to grow where staff, time, and funding permitted. As with other states, oral history projects were easily started, but transcription and indexing efforts generally lagged behind. Hundreds of recordings existed for dozens of discreet projects, but access to the recordings was lacking or insufficient. Larger institutions had the means to transcribe, index, and catalog their oral history materials, but smaller operations sometimes had limited access to their holdings. Access was mixed, and still is. This guide attempts to aggregate nearly all oral history holdings within the state and provide at least basic, minimal access to holdings from the largest academic repository to the smallest county historical society. The effort to provide a guide to the oral history collections of Missouri started in 2002 with a Brownlee Fund Grant from the State Historical Society of Missouri. That initial grant provided the seed money to create and send out a mail-in survey.

  • The Protection of Missouri Governors Has Come a Long Way Since 1881, When Governor Thomas Crittenden Kept a .44-Caliber Smith and Wesson Revolver in His Desk Drawer
    GOVERNOR’S SECURITY DIVISION The protection of Missouri governors has come a long way since 1881, when Governor Thomas Crittenden kept a .44-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver in his desk drawer. He had offered a $5,000 reward for the arrest and delivery of Frank and Jesse James, and kept the weapon handy to guard against retaliation. In less than a year, Jesse James had been killed, and in October 1882, Frank James surrendered, handing his .44 Remington revolver to Governor Crittenden in the governor’s office. In 1939, eight years after the creation of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, several troopers were assigned to escort and chauffeur Governor Lloyd Stark, and provide security at the Governor’s Mansion for the first family following death threats by Kansas City mobsters. Governor Stark had joined federal authorities in efforts to topple political boss Tom Pendergast. Within a year, Pendergast and 100 of his followers were indicted. In early 1963, Colonel Hugh Waggoner called Trooper Richard D. Radford into his office one afternoon. He told Tpr. Radford to report to him at 8 a.m. the following morning in civilian clothes. At that time, he would accompany Tpr. Radford to the governor’s office. The trooper was introduced to Governor John Dalton and was assigned to full-time security following several threats. Since security for the governor was in its infancy, Tpr. Radford had to develop procedures as he went along. There was no formal protection training available at this time, and the only equipment consisted of a suit, concealed weapon, and an unmarked car.

Smith* ABSTRACT This article provides recommendations for governors and other executive branch officials to consider when implementing regulatory reform. Studies have shown that regulatory reform is needed because of the substantial impact on the economy, consumers, and businesses. Recent technological advances have al- lowed regulations to be quantified by a metric known as regulatory restrictions, which counts uses of “shall,” “must,” “may not,” “prohibited,” and “required.” Quantifying regulatory restrictions allows for comparison of the regulatory scope between states.
