AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Richard P. Matthews for the Master of Arts in History presented 4 November, 1988. Title: Limited Horizons on the Oregon Frontier: East Tualatin Plains and the Town of Hillsboro, Washington county, 1840 - 1890. APPROVED BY MEMBE~~~ THESIS COMMITTEE: David Johns n, ~on B. Dodds Michael Reardon Daniel O'Toole The evolution of the small towns that originated in Oregon's settlement communities remains undocumented in the literature of the state's history for the most part. Those .::: accounts that do exist are often amateurish, and fail to establish the social and economic links between Oregon's frontier towns to the agricultural communities in which they appeared. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate an early settlement community and the small town that grew up in its midst in order to better understand the ideological relationship between farmers and townsmen that helped shape Oregon's small towns.

D. fvlinister - Author - Writer Sponsored By The PETER ZIEGLER ASSOCIATION PUBLISHED BY THE AUTHOR Glenn Printing Company Huntin~ton Park California Introduction For a number of years, my ambition has been to trace n1y ancestors to the one who came from Ger­ many. I knew it must have been in the Early Colon­ ial period. When publishing "Father and Son," a life-sketch of my father, Rev. Dr. Henry Ziegler, and of myself, I could not say that my father descended from a certain Ziegler ,vho came across at a definite time. This, therefore, was my problem. Collecting material for our Family Tree began. in a leisurely manner, more than thirty years ago. The Author The serious effort, however, was started about two years ago. Plans were completed the past summer for an extended visit to Pennsylvania, in order to form the acquaintance of our numerous relatives. and to visit the places where great grandfather, Peter Ziegler, and my father lived. A Ziegler family reunion was held in Hasson Park, Oil City, Pennsyl­ vania, August 26, 1933, with more than two hundred present. A Peter Ziegler Association was effected, Captain Harley Jacob Ziegler of Franklin being elected President: E. Willard Ziegler of Oil City, Vice President: Miss Nora Bell Ziegler of Oil City, Secretary-Treasurer. The Association unanimously ·; agreed to have the "Tree" published, the writer being the compiler. Subsequently, I visited Center, Clinton, Huntingdon, Blair, Snyder, Perry, York and Lebanon counties, Pennsylvania, also Baltimore, Maryland, From the York.

    86 Indiana Magazine of History railroad builder of the land,” as one who made stockholders happy by the rise in their securities resulting from his manipulation, but who did not seemingly make them sad when, as was more commonly the case, his actions depressed the value of their stock. Gould’s association with western railroads, notably the Wabash, Missouri Pacific, and Union Pacific, was accompanied by construction of new lines and the acquisition of feeders, but though profits were made for a time and dividends paid, all were brought to receivership by spite construction, constant and destructive rate cutting, payment of unearned dividends, extravagant purchases of Gould-owned lines, and excessive costs that benefited only Gould. In his effort to rehabilitate Gould, Professor Grodinsky maintains that these breaches of rail- road agreements and rate cutting benefitted the American economy, and pictures Gould, surely with tongue in cheek, as tilting against monopolistic practices and high rates. His conclusion, despite the most damning evidence to the contrary, is that “the public benefited from his [Gould’s] activities as a man of business in the railroad indus- try and in the field of speculative capital” (p. 610). Few of Gould’s contemporaries could have accepted such a judgment. Gould apparently left no papers which have been available to the author in the preparation of this study. Use has been made, how- ever, of materials on the Burlington Railroad in the Newberry Library, the Villard papers in the Harvard Library, and in other smaller col- lections well known to historians of transportation. Heavy reliance is placed on railroad and financial journals and metropolitan news- papers.

  • Abraham Lincoln and the German Immigrants: Turners and Forty-Eighters
    Abraham Lincoln and the German Immigrants: Turners and Forty-Eighters Introduction Reporting from Springfield, Illinois, on December 9, 1860, only a matter of days after the election, Henry Villard, correspondent for the New York Herald, made a remarkable assertion about Lincoln’s election to the presidency: In Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Wisconsin, native Republicans now openly acknowledge that their victory was, if not wholly, at least to a great extent, due to the large accessions they received in the most hotly contested sections from the German ranks. That an immigrant population should be the decisive element in a national election was unprecedented. Despite a cautious reservation (“if not wholly, at least to a great extent”), Villard offered a controversial assessment. He was saying, in effect, that Lincoln owed his success to German-Americans.* Historians since Villard have noted, on occasion, the formidable German vote for Lincoln, but assertions about its significance have been challenged. It is not surprising that the claims have been criticized or not taken at all seriously. Historians have ignored Villard’s perspective. Statistics available for the 1860 election do not provide the evidence required to corroborate Villard’s position. Are there other options? Is there a convincing test for Villard’s assertion about the German factor? Can it survive close scrutiny? I. The Radical Turners of New York “[Sigismund Kaufmann’s] name is indelibly linked with the history of the Turner Union and the Turner movement as one of the founders of the New York Turnverein. He was first chairman for many years. He was also one of the founders of the [national] Turner Union, whose chairman he became at that time.” [Heinrich Metzner], “Sigismund Kaufmann,” August 24, 1889 II.

    TKE HISTORY OF TKE PORT OF COOS BAY 1852 -1952 George Baxter Case, A.A., B.A. A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Pan American University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Pan American Universitir Edinburg , Texas August 1983 THE HISTORY OF THE PORT OF COOS BAY 1852-1952 / - 4 &,dL;' d/: /i~Cetrzd,Jf-~ (COMMITTEE MEMBER) DATE: O& ro.19 8.3 DL4 (DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SC by George Baxter Case PREFACE This is a study of commercial growth in the Coos Bay, Oregon region and of the physical improvements to the Port of Coos Bay which accompanied that growth during the one hundred years following modem settlement. The history of industrial development at Coos Ray has been shaped by the abundant natural resources found there and by the geographical isolation of the area. The Port of Coos Bay has been the primary means by which that isolation has been relieved and through which those resources have been marketed. Although a considerable body of literature about Coos Bay exists, no previous work deals solely with the economic development of the region as it relates to the improvements to the port. This study attempts to show not only the chronology of events during the period, but also the relationship between the commercial growth of the region and the zovernmental improvements to the port which followed and paralleled that growth. At least two masters' theses deal with Coos Bay: John Rudolph Feichtinger's "A Geographic Study of the City of Coos Bay and Its interl land" (University of Oregon, 1950), and Robert E.

He was known by the name of Juan de Fuca, and the name was subsequently given to a portion of the waters he discovered. As far as known he made no official report of his discoveries, but he told navi­ gators, and from these men has descended to us the knowledge thereof. Richard Hakluyt, in 1600, gave some account of Fuca and his voyages and discoveries. Michael Locke, in 1625, pub­ lished the following statement in England. "I met in Venice in 1596 an old Greek mariner called Juan de Fuca, but whose real name was Apostolus Valerianus, who detailed that in 1592 he sailed in a small caravel from Mexico in the service of Spain along the coast of Mexico and California, until he came to the latitude of 47 degrees, and there finding the land trended north and northeast, and also east and south east, with a broad inlet of seas between 47 and 48 degrees of latitude, he entered therein, sailing more than twenty days, and at the entrance of said strait there is on the northwest coast thereto a great headland or island, with an exceeding high pinacle or spiral rock, like a pillar thereon." Fuca also reported find­ ing various inlets and divers islands; describes the natives as dressed in skins, and as being so hostile that he was glad to get away.
